The use of 2,4-disubstituted thiadiazolidinone (TDZD) compounds, such as Tideglusib (4-Benzyl-2-naphthalen-1-yl-[1,2,4]thiadiazolidine-3,5-dione), in methods of inhibiting RNA molecules comprising abnormal trinucleotide repeats (such as CUG) in their sequences is provided. Such methods include methods of inhibiting RNA molecules having abnormal repeat sequences, as well as methods of treating and/or preventing diseases associated with the presence of RNA molecules having abnormal repeat sequences, such as myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1).
本发明提供了使用2,4-二取代
噻二唑啉酮(
TDZD)化合物,例如Tideglusib(4-苄基-2-
萘基-[1,2,4]
噻二唑啉-3,5-二酮),来抑制其序列中包含异常三核苷酸重复(例如CUG)的RNA分子的方法。这样的方法包括抑制具有异常重复序列的RNA分子的方法,以及治疗和/或预防与存在具有异常重复序列的RNA分子相关的疾病,例如肌萎缩性侧索硬化症类型1(
DM1)的方法。
