RTC14, as a premature termination codon (PTC) readthrough inducer, can act by restoring dystrophin expression and improving muscle function in the mdx mouse model for Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
Utrophin Modulator 1 (UM1) is a highly effective agent that upregulates utrophin protein levels, displaying an EC 50 of 0.11 μM. Its application in the investigation of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) has been well-established [1].
