AUT2 is a Kv3.1 channel modulator with the potential to treat sensory hyperreactivity in patients with FXS by shifting the activation of high-threshold currents to more negative potentials. This shift reduces high-threshold K+ currents and increases low-threshold K+ currents in neurons, restoring wave IV of the ABR. Due to its ability to regulate neuronal excitability, AUT2 is also promising for the treatment of hearing impairments.
