Risdiplam

Risdiplam (RG7916, RO7034067) is an experimental drug being developed by F. Hoffmann-La Roche, PTC Therapeutics and SMA Foundation to treat spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). It appears to be effective orally and is a small molecule. It is a pyridazine derivative that works by increasing the amount of functional survival of motor neuron protein produced by the SMN2 gene through modifying its splicing pattern.[1][2]
