Eteplirsen is an antisense oligonucleotide of the phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomer (PMO) subclass. The PMOs are synthetic molecules in which the fivemembered ribofuranosyl rings found in natural deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) are replaced by a six-membered morpholino ring. Each morpholino ring is linked through an uncharged phosphorodiamidate moiety rather than the negatively charged phosphate linkage that is present in natural DNA and RNA. Each phosphorodiamidate morpholino subunit contains one of the heterocyclic bases found in DNA (adenine, cytosine, guanine, or thymine). Eteplirsen contains 30 linked subunits. The molecular formula of eteplirsen is C364H569N177O122P30, and the molecular weight is 10305.7 daltons (Da) (10.3057 kilodaltons (kDa)). Eteplirsen is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under accelerated approval for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in patients who have a confirmed mutation of the DMD gene that is amenable to exon 51 skipping.
