Zusammenfassung:Provided are compounds, methods, and pharmaceutical compositions for modulating SMN2 RNA and/or protein in a cell or subject. Such compounds, methods, and pharmaceutical compositions are useful to ameliorate at least one symptom of a neurodegenerative disorder. Such symptoms include reduced muscle strength; inability or reduced ability to sit upright, to stand, and/or walk; reduced neuromuscular activity; reduced electrical activity in one or more muscles; reduced respiration; inability or reduced ability to eat, drink, and/or breathe without assistance; loss of weight or reduced weight gain; and/or decreased survival. Se proporcionan compuestos, métodos y composiciones farmacéuticas para modular el ARN y/o proteína de SMN2 en una célula o sujeto. Dichos compuestos, métodos y composiciones farmacéuticas son útiles para mejorar al menos un síntoma de un trastorno neurodegenerativo. Dichos síntomas incluyen fuerza muscular reducida; incapacidad o capacidad reducida para sentarse erguido, pararse y/o caminar; actividad neuromuscular reducida; actividad eléctrica reducida en uno o más músculos; respiración reducida; incapacidad o capacidad reducida para comer, beber y/o respirar sin ayuda; pérdida de peso o aumento de peso reducido; y/o supervivencia disminuida.
