[0003] The present disclosure relates to compounds, compositions, and methods that can be used to treat myotonic dystrophy type 1. The compounds include a cargo that targets the expanded CUG repeat in heDMPK transcript associated with myotonic dystrophy type 1.BACKGROUND
[0004] Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a serious, progressive, disabling genetic disease that leads to early death in many patients. DM1 is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner and is characterized by progressive muscle weakness, myotonia (delayed muscle relaxation after contraction), and other systemic manifestations. DM1 affects at least 1 in 10,000 people worldwide or approximately 110,000 people in the United States and Europe (see Ashizawa T, Gagnon C, Groh WJ, Gutmann L, Johnson NE, Meola G, et al. Consensus-based care recommendations for adults with myotonic dystrophy type 1. Neurol Clin Pract. 2018;8(6):507-20; Myotonic Dystrophy Foundation. Myotonic Dystrophy Clinical Research Network.Available at: myotonic.org / myotonic-dystrophy-clinical-research-network; and Johnson NE, Butterfield RJ, Mayne K, Newcomb T, Imburgia C, Dunn D, et al. Population-based prevalenceof myotonic dystrophy type 1 using genetic analysis of statewide blood screening program. Neurology. 2021;96(7):e1045-53)..
[0005] The clinical presentation of DM1 varies considerably among patients with the disease, but in nearly all cases, multiple systems throughout the body are affected. Muscular weakness and myotonia are the cardinal clinical symptoms of DM1. Fatigue is among the most impactful symptoms of DM1, due to the combination of muscle weakness, respiratory failure, sleep disordered breathing, and excessive daytime sleepiness (see Heatwole C, Bode R, Johnson N, Quinn C, Martens W, McDermott MP, et al. Patient-reported impact of symptoms in myotonic dystrophy type 1 (PRISM-1). Neurology. 2012;79(4):348-57; and Johnson NE Myotonic Muscular Dystrophies. Continuum (Minneap Minn). 2019;25(6): 1682-95). Symptom onset is typically in the third decade of life, with progressive weakness leading to approximately 50% of patients being wheelchair bound by time of death (see Turner C, Hilton-Jones D. Myotonic dystrophy: diagnosis, management and new therapies. Curr Opin Neurol. 2014;27(5):599-606; and de Die-Smulders CE, Howeler CJ, Thijs C, Mirandolle JF, Anten HB, Smeets HJ, et al. Age and causes of death in adult-onset myotonic dystrophy. Brain. 1998;121 (Pt 8):1557-63.) The average age of death in non-congenital forms of DM1 is 54 years of age, with 70% of early mortality caused by cardio-respiratory complications.
[0006] The underlying molecular cause of DM1 is an expanded CTG repeat sequence in the 3' untranslated region in one allele of the DM1 Protein Kinase (DMPK) gene. The CTG trinucleotide repeat is transcribed into an RNA containing a toxic CUG repeat, where it forms "hairpins" that sequester multiple proteins involved in splicing of various downstream transcripts into “nuclear foci”, including muscleblind-like protein 1 (MBNL1). The resulting systemic missplicing leads to downstream consequences in many cell types including muscle.
[0007] Currently, there is no cure for DM1 and no US Federal and Drug Administration approved treatments exist that target the cause of DM 1, the expanded CTG CUG. Treatments focus on managing the symptoms of DM1 manifested on a patient basis.
[0008] Biologic macromolecules, such as oligonucleotides, hold enormous potential as therapeutic agents, for example, to treat DM1. However, a challenge in bringing biologic macromolecule therapies to the clinic is their limited ability to access the intracellular compartment when administered systemically. As such there is a need for effective DM1 treatments, such as, for example, biological macromolecule treatments.SUMMARY

[0019] The present disclosure describes compounds, compositions containing the compounds, and methods of administration of the compositions. The compounds and compositions can be administered to a patient to treat DM1.
[0020] The compounds are cargo conjugates that include a cargo and a delivery construct.Generally, the cargo is the effector moitey that elicits a response. For example, the cargo can be a molecule that elicits a response effective for treating DM1. The delivery construct facilitates cell penetration and / or endosomal escape. The delivery construct can be referred to as an endosomal escape vehicle (EEV).
[0021] The underlying molecular cause of DM1 is an expanded CTG repeat sequence in the 3' untranslated region in one allele of the DM1 protein kinase (DMPK) gene. The CTG trinucleotide repeat is transcribed into an RNA containing a toxic CUG repeat. The CUG repeats bind various proteins involved in splicing, including muscleblind-like protein 1 (MBNL1).Protein-bound DMPK mRNA can aggregate in the nuclease to form nuclear foci. Due to the sequestration of splicing factors, the splicing of various genes is disrupted including MBLN1, CLCN1, AP2A1, RYR1, KIF13A, VSP39, NFIX, CLASP, BINI, and others. The resulting systemic mis-splicing leads to downstream consequences in many cell types including muscle.
[0022] The compounds of the present disclosure include a cargo desgined to target the underlying cause of DM1 The cargo comprises an oligonucleotide. The oligonculetodie can be an antisense oligonculeotide (ASO). The term ASO refers to an oligonucleotide sequence that is complementary, or at least partially complementary, to at least a portion of a target nucleotide sequence. A target nucleotide sequence is a part of a target transcript. In the present disclosure, the target nucleotide sequence comprises at least a portion of the CUG repeat of a DMPK transcript (a target transcript). The target nucleotide sequence can be a part of a DMPK pre-mRNA transcript, DMPK mRNA transcript, or both.
[0023] It is hypothesized that an ASO that hybridizes to at least a portion of the CUG repeat (i e., the target nucleotide sequence) of a DMPK transcript can sterically block proteins (e.g., MBNL1) from binding to the expanded CUG repeat regions. The free proteins are available to affect proper splicing of various downstream genes. Additionally, it is hypothesized that hybridization of an ASO to at least a portion of the CUG repeat of a DMPK transcript can prevent the formation of the DMPK transcript containing nuclear foci associated with the DM1 disease state. As such, in embodiments, hybridization of the ASO to a DMPK transcript, results in the rescue of mis-splicing of downstream genes / transcripts, thereby, reducing the level of downstream transcripts associated with the DM1 disease phenotype, increasing the level of downstream genes / transcripts associated with a healthy phenotype, or both.
[0024] The cargo comprises an ASO having a sequence that can hybrdize with at least a poriton of the CUG repeat region of a DMPK transcript. The number of nucleobases in an ASO can vary. In embodiments, the ASO is from 5 to 50 nucleobases in length, which can also be referred to as the length of the ASO. In embodiments, the ASO is 5 or more, 10 or more, 15 or more, 20 or more, 25 or more, 30 or more, 35 or more, 40 or more, or 45 or more nucleobases in length. In embodiments, the ASO is 50 or less, 45 or less, 40 or less, 35 or less, 30 or less, 25 or less, 20 or less, 15 or less, or 10 or less nucleobases in length. In embodiments, the ASO is 5 to 50, 5 to 45, 5 to 40, 5 to 35, 5 to 30, 5 to 25, 5 to 20, 5 to 15, or 5 to 10 nucleobases in length. In embodiments, the ASO is 10 to 50, 10 to 45, 10 to 40, 10 to 35, 10 to 30, 10 to 25, 10 to 20, or 10 to 15 nucleobases in length. In embodiments, the ASO is 15 to 50, 15 to 45, 15 to 40, 15 to 35, 15 to 30, 15 to 25, or 15 to 20 nucleobases in length. In embodiments, the ASO is 20 to 50, 20 to 45, 20 to 40, 20 to 35, 20 to 30, or 20 to 25 nucleobases in length. In embodiments, the ASO is 25 to 50, 25 to 45, 25 to 40, 25 to 35, or 25 to 30 nucleobases in length. In embodiments, the ASO is 30 to 50, 30 to 45, 30 to 40, or 30 to 35 nucleobases in length. In embodiments, the ASO is 35 to 50, 35 to 45, or 35 to 40 nucleobases in length. In embodiments, the ASO is 40 to 50 or 40 to 45 nucleobases in length. In embodiments, the ASO is 45 to 50 nucleobases in length. In embodiments, the ASO is 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13,14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, or 50 nucleobases in length.
[0025] In embodiments, the ASO is 20 to 25, 21 to 25, 22 to 25, 23 to 25, or 24 to 25 nucleobases in length. In embodiments, the Aso is 21 to 25 nucleobases in length. In embodiments, the ASO is 22 to 25 nucleobases in length In embodiments, the ASO is 23 to 25 nucleobases in length. Inembodiments, the ASO is 24 to 25 nucleobases in length.

In embodiments, the Aso is 23 nucleobases in length. In embodiments, the ASO is 24 nucleobases in length. In embodiments, the ASO is 25 nucleobases in length.
[0026] In embodiments, the ASO has 100% complementarity to a target nucleotide sequence. In embodiments, the ASO does not have 100% complementarity to a target nucleotide sequence. As used herein, the term "percent complementarity" refers to the number of nucleobases (e.g., natural nucleobase or modified nucleobase) of an ASO that have nucleobase complementarity with a corresponding nucleobase of a target nucleotide sequence divided by the total length (number of nucleobases) of the ASO. One skilled in the art recognizes that the inclusion of mismatches is possible without eliminating the activity of the antisense compound.
[0027] In embodiments, incorporation of nucleotide affinity modifications allows for a greater number of mismatches compared to an unmodified compound. Similarly, certain oligonucleotide sequences may be more tolerant to mismatches than other oligonucleotide sequences. One of ordinary skill in the art is capable of determining an appropriate number of mismatches between an ASO and a target nucleotide sequence, such as by determining the thermal melting temperature (Tm). Tm or ATm can be calculated by techniques that are familiar to one of ordinary skill in the art. For example, techniques described in Freier et al. (Nucleic Acids Research, 1997, 25, 22: 4429-4443) allow one of ordinary skill in the art to evaluate nucleotide modifications for their ability to increase the melting temperature of an RNA: DN A duplex.
[0028] In embodiments, the ASO comprises one or more CAG repeats. The reverse of 5'-CAG-3' (3'-GAC-5') sequence has 100% complementarity and can hybridize with a 5'-CUG-3' sequence. In embodiments, the ASO comprises 1 to 50 CAG repeats. In embodiments, the CAG repeats are contiguous In embodiments, the CAG repeats are not contiguous. In embodiments, the ASO comprises a nucleotide sequence that has an incomplete CAG repeat at the 5' end, the 3' end, or both. For example, in embodiments, the ASO comprises a sequence such as AG(CAG)n, G(CAG)n, (CAG)nAG, or (CAG)nA where n is an integer from 1 to 50. In embodiments, the ASO comprises 1 or more, 2 or more, 3 or more, 4 or more, 5 or more, 6 or more, 7 or more, 8 or more, 9 or more, 10 or more, 20 or more, 30 or more, or 50 or more CAG repeats. In embodiments, the ASO comprises 50 or less, 40 or less, 30 or less, 20 or less, 10 or less, 9 orless, 8 or less, 7 or less, 6 or less, 5 or less, 4 or less, 3 or less, or 2 or less CAG repeats. In embodiments, the ASO comprises 2 to 50, 2 to 20, 2 to 10, 4 to 10, 5 to 10, 6 to 10, 6 to 9, 6 to 8, or 6 to 7 CAG repeats. In embodiment, the ASO comprises 3 to 10 CAG repeats. In embodiment, the ASO comprises 4 to 10 CAG repeats. In embodiments, the ASO comprises 5 to 9 CAG repeats. In embodiments, the ASO comprises 4 to 8 CAG repeats.

[0044] In embodiments, an ASO that includes CAG repeats may include additional nucleotide sequences on the 5' end, 3' end, or both, of the CAG repeat. In embodiments, the additional nucleotide sequences may have 80% to 100% or 95% to 100% complementarity to portions of the target DMPK transcript to which they hybridize. The additional nucleotide sequences may be added to a CAG repeat nucleotide sequence to increase the selectivity of the ASO for hybridizing to target DMPK transcript.
[0045] The ASOs described herein may contain one or more asymmetric centers and thus give rise to enantiomers, diastereomers, and other stereoisomeric configurations that may be defined, interms of absolute stereochemistry, as (R) or (S); α or β; or as (D) or (L). Included in the ASOs provided herein are all such possible isomers, as well as their racemic and optically pure forms.
[0046] The efficacy of an A SO or a compound that comprises an ASO may be assessed by evaluating the antisense activity effected by their administration. Antisense activity refers to any detectable and / or measurable activity attributable to the hybridization of an ASO to its target nucleotide sequence. Such detection and / or measuring may be direct or indirect. In embodiments, antisense activity is assessed by detecting and or measuring the amount of misspliced and / or correctly spliced transcripts of various genes known to be mis-spliced in the DM1 disease state. For example, in DM1, several downstream gene transcripts are mis-spliced, and the mis-spliced genes are associated with the disease phenotype. As such, the antisense activity of an ASO or a compound that comprises an ASO can be assessed by measuring the splicing correction of the mis-spliced transcripts associated with the disease state. The splicing correction can be assessed, for example, by measuring the amount of one or more mis-spliced gene transcripts, the amount of one or more correctly spliced gene transcripts, or both.
[0047] ASOs are nucleosides linked through internucleoside linkages. Nucleosides include a pentose sugar (e.g., ribose or deoxyribose) a sugar substitute, or a modified sugar and a nitrogenous base (nucleobase also called a base) covalently attached to sugar, sugar substitute, or modified sugar. The naturally occurring nucleobases found in DNA and / or RNA are adenine (A), guanine (G), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and uracil (U). The naturally occurring sugars found in DNA and / or RNA are deoxyribose (DNA) and ribose (RNA). The naturally occurring internucleoside linkage is a phosphodiester. In embodiments, the ASO may have all natural sugars, natural bases, and natural internucleoside linkages.
[0048] Chemically modified nucleosides and / or modified internucleoside linkages can be incorporated into ASOs. Such modifications can enhance one or more properties, such as nuclease resistance, pharmacokinetics, or affinity for a target gene or target transcript. Nonlimiting examples of modified nucleosides and modified internucleoside linkages are shown in FIG. 1 (“BASE”, “Bl”, and “B2” are nucleobases).
[0049] In general, a nucleobase is any group that contains one or more atoms or groups of atoms capable of hydrogen bonding to a base of another nucleic acid. In addition to natural nucleobases, many modified nucleobases or nucleobase mimetics known to those skilled in the art are amenable with the compounds described herein. The terms modified nucleobase andnucleobase mimetic can overlap but generally a modified nucleobase refers to a nucleobase that is fairly similar in structure to the parent nucleobase, whereas a nucleobase mimetic generally includes more complicated structures Examples of modified nucleobases include 2 -thiodeoxythymine (see structure 4 in FIG. 1) 7-deaza purine 5-mehtyl cytosine, G-clamp. An example of a nucleobase mimetic is tricyclic phenoxazine nucleobase mimetic. Methods for preparation of the above noted modified nucleobases are well known to those skilled in the art.
[0050] In embodiments, an ASO comprises one or more modified nucleosides having a modified sugar moiety. The furanosyl sugar ring of a natural nucleoside can be modified. A furanosyl sugar ring may be modified in any suitable manner, including, but not limited to, addition of a substituent group, bridging of two non-geminal ring atoms to form a bicyclic nucleic acid (BNA), and substitution of an atom or group such as -S-, -N(R)- or -C(R1)(R2) for the ring oxygen at the 4'-position. Modified sugar moieties are well known and can be used to alter, typically increase, the affinity of the ASO for its target and / or increase nuclease resistance. A representative list of modified sugars include but is not limited to non-bicyclic substituted sugars, especially non-bicyclic 2 '-substituted sugars having a 2'-F, 2'-OCH3 or a 2'-O(CH2)2-OCH3 substituent group (see structures 5 to 8 of FIG. 1 for examples), and 4'-thio modified sugars. The ring of a sugar can be opened, for example between the 2' and 3' position, to result in an unlocked nucleotide (see structure 14 of FIG. 1). Sugars can also be replaced with a sugar substitute (also a modified sugar), for example, a morpholino ring, or a methylenemorpholine (FIG. 2, structure 1) ring, among others.
[0051] In embodiments, an ASO may include one or more bicyclic modified sugars (BNA's), such as, for example, LNA (4'-(CH2)-O-2' bridge, see structure 9 of FIG. 1); 2'-thio-LNA (4'- (CH2)-S-2' bridge); tricyclo DNA (see structure 11 of FIG. 1) 2'-amino-LNA (4'-(CH2)-NR-2' bridge); ENA (4'-(CH2)2-O-2' bridge), 4'-(CH2)3-2' bridged BNA; 4'-(CH2CH(CH3))-2' bridged BNA; cEt (4'-(CH(CH3)-O-2' bridge, see structure 10 of FIG. 1); and cMOE BNAs (4'-(CH(CH2OCH3)-O-2' bridge).
[0052] In embodiments, an ASO may include one or more locked nucleic acids (LNAs) in which the 2'-hydroxyl group of the ribosyl sugar ring is linked to the 4' carbon atom of the sugar ring thereby forming a 2'-C,4'-C-oxymethylene linkage resulting in a bicyclic sugar moiety. The synthesis and preparation of the LNA monomers adenine, cytosine, guanine, 5-methyl-cytosine, thymine and uracil, along with their oligomerization, and nucleic acid recognition propertieshave been described (Koshkin et al., Tetrahedron, 1998, 54, 3607-3630). LNAs and preparation thereof are also described in WO 98 / 39352 and WO 99 / 14226.
[0053] In embodiments, an ASO has one or more modified internucleoside linkages.Internucleoside linking groups link the nucleosides (natural or modified) monomer units of an oligonucleotide together. The two main classes of internucleoside linking groups are defined by the presence or absence of a phosphorus atom. Representative phosphorus containing internucleoside linkages include, but are not limited to, phosphodiesters, phosphotriesters, vinyl phosphonates (see structure 15 of FIG. 1), alkylphosphonates (see structure 16 of FIG. 1), phosphoramidate, phosphorodiamidate (see structure 3 of FIG. 1), and phosphorothioates (see structures 1, 17, and 18 of FIG. 1). Representative non-phosphorus containing internucleoside linking groups include, but are not limited to, methylenemethylimino (-CH2-N(CH3)-O-CH2-), thiodiester (-O-C(O)-S-), thionocarbamate (-O-C(O)(NH)-S-); siloxane (-O-Si(H)2-O-); and N,N'-dimethylhydrazine (-CH2-N(CH3)-N(CH3)-). ASOs having non-phosphorus internucleoside linking groups are referred to as oligonucleosides. Modified internucleoside linkages, compared to natural phosphodiester linkages, can be used to alter, typically increase, nuclease resistance of the oligonucleotides Intemucleoside linkages having a chiral atom can be prepared racemic, chiral, or as a mixture. Representative chiral internucleoside linkages include, but are not limited to, alkylphosphonates and phosphorothioates. Methods of preparation of phosphorous-containing and non-phosphorous-containing linkages are well known to those skilled in the art.
[0054] In embodiments, a phosphate group can be linked to the 2', 3', or 5' (or 6', for a 6 membered ring, such as a methylenemorpholine ring) hydroxyl moiety of the sugar (or modified sugar). In forming oligonucleotides, the phosphate groups covalently links adjacent nucleosides to one another to form a linear polymeric compound. Within oligonucleotides, the phosphate groups are commonly referred to as forming the internucleoside backbone of the oligonucleotide. The natural linkage of an RNA or DNA backbone is a 3' to 5' phosphodiester linkage. In this linkage, a 5' phosphate group of a nucleotide is linked to the 3' hydroxy of the adjacent 5' nucleotide in a phosphodiester bond.
[0055] In embodiments, the ASO is a phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomer (PMO). A PMO has nucleosides that include a methylene morpholine ring conjugated to nucleobase (see structure 1 of FIG. 2). The PMO nucleoside monomers units are coupled through phosphorodiamidate intemucleoside linkages (see structure 2 of FIG. 2). The 6' terminal nucleotide (equivalent to the5' terminal end) of a PMO may lack a 5' phosphorus containing group. For example, the 6' terminal nucleotide of a PMO may have 6' hydroxyl group. FIG. 2, structure 2, shows a three nucleotide PMO. The 6' nucleotide has a terminal 6' hydroxyl group. The 3' nucleotide has 3' terminal NH group. The 3' terminal NH group can be used to conjugate a PMO to a delivery construct using, for example, amide chemistry. PMOs are uncharged nucleic acid analogs that bind to a target nucleic acid through base pairing. As uncharged, or net neutral charged, oligonucleotides, PMOs are particularly effective for intracellular delivery when conjugated to a delivery construct of the present disclosure.

[0142] The delivery constructs and therefore compounds that include a delivery construct include a cyclic cell penetrating peptide (cCPP). The cCPP is formed from a cCPP bridging amino acid residue and the amino acid residues characterized by the R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, and R7side chains. As such, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, and R7are each independently the side chain of an amino acid. The cCPP bridging amino acid residue is the amino acid residue connecting the amino acid residue characterized by the R1side chain and the amino acid residue characterized by the R7side chain. The cCPP is designed to facilitate cell membrane penetration of the compound to which it is attached.

The exocyclic bridging amino acid residue is the amino acid residue that has a side chain covalently attached to the cCPP. For example, the coupling between the side chain of the cCPP bridging amino acid residue and the exocyclicbridging amino acid residue can be visualized as compound) where the cCPP bridging amino acid residue is shown as connected to the cCPP (the partial circle), the exocyclic bridging amino acid residue is the amino acid residue having a backbone that is not within the cCPP (the carbonyl is not a part of the cCPP), n is integer from 0 to 3, and y is an integer from 1 to 5. The cCPP bridging amino acid residue can be characterized by n. The exocyclic bridging amino acid residue can be characterized by y. n can be 0 n can be 2. n can be 3. When n is 0, the bridging cCPP amino acid residue is asparagine. When n is 1, the bridging cCPP amino acid residue is glutamine, y can be 1 y can be 2. y can be 3. y can be 4. y can be 5. When y is 4, the exocyclic bridging amino acid residue is lysine. In embodiments the bridging cCPP amino acid residue is glutamine (n is 1) and the bridging exocyclic amino acid residue is lysine (y is 4).

PMO in DMSO was added 1.6 eq. of HATU (500 mM solution in DMSO), 1.6 eq of EEV (200 mg / mL solution of DMSO) and 5 eq. of N, N-diisopropylethylamine. The reaction was allowed to stir at 25°C for 3h. Upon completion of the reaction, 40 eq. of NaOH (320 mM solution in water) was added and the mixture was allowed to stir for 1 hr. Reaction was neutralized using 500 mM NaH2PO4to bring the pH to 7.
[0348] Delivery construct-PMO conjugates disclosed herein were synthesized based on well- known procedures in the art as well as analogous to the general procedure outlined above.
[0349] The PMO-peptide conjugates were purified on an ion exchange column (Source 30S, 390 ml) using a linear gradient of sodium phosphate buffer (25 mM, pH 7.0) containing 15% CH3CN. A sodium chloride solution (0.75 M ) containing 15% CH3CN was used to elute the conjugate from the column at a flow rate of 30 mL / min. The fractions containing the desired compound were combined and diluted with MQ water and purified using reverse phase HPLC (A: H2O, B: ACN) using a gradient comprised of an isocratic hold at 10% mobile phase B to push off peptide, followed by a steep gradient and then another isocratic hold at 50% B to elute the desired product. Desired product fractions were combined, frozen with liquid nitrogen, and lyophilized to afford peptide-PMO conjugate as a white powder The concentration of peptide-PMO was determined by the molar absorption of the conjugates at 265 nm in 0.1 N HCI solution.
[0350] The EEV-PMO conjugates shown in Tables 10A-10B were made using analogous procedures to those disclosed herein and well-known procedures in the art. In Tables 10A-10B, Ac is -C(O)CH3, the cCPP is written as JA(cyclo[XAXBXCXDXEXFXGYA]) where XA, XB, XC, XD, XE, XF, and XGare amino acid residue with the side chain R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, and R7respectively, Y ' is the cCPP bridging amino acid residue, and JAis the bridging exocyclic amino acid residue; “miniPEGj” indicates ~(CH2-CH2-O) -CH -CO-; “PEG#’’ indicates --(CH2-CH2-O)#-CH2-CH2-CO- where # indicates a number of -CH2CH2O- units that is greater than 2, M' isabsent (i.e., ml is 0) or Ml where Ml iswhere #2 is the point of attachment to the cargo, y″ is 4, x3 is 4, and j3 is 2; and cargo is a PMO having the sequence 5'-CAG-CAG-CAG-CAG-CAG-CAG-CAG-3' ([CAG]7) (SEQ ID NO: 76) conjugated to the delivery construct at the 3' terminus.Table 10A.Molecular Observed SEQ ID No. EEV-PMO conjugateweight mass NOS: Ac-PKKKRKV-miniPEG2- 18, 40, 1 K(cyclo[FGFGRGRQ])-PEGi2-[2-Nal]- 9846.27 9845.876 [CAG]7Ac-PKKKRK V-miniPEG2- 18, 40, 2 9872.32 9871.8 K(cyclo[FGFGRGRQ])-PEGi2-Bip-[CAG]7 76 Ac-K(cyclo[FGFGRGRQ])-KKKRK-PEGi2- 40, 13, 3 9504.88 9504.5(2-Nal)-[CAG]7 76 Ac-PKKKRKV-miniPEG2- 18, 81, 4 K(cyclo[FGFRRRRQ])-PEG12-(2-Nal)- 10044.55 10044.176 [CAG]7Ac-PKKKRK V-mini PEG2- 18, 40, 5 K(cyclo[FGFGRGRQ])-PEGi2-[2-Nal]- 10188.67 10188.276 miniPEG2-(2-Nal)-[CAG]7Ac-KKK-miniPEG2-K(cyclo[FGFGRGRQ])- 6 9650.04 9649.3 40, 76 PEG12-RK-[2-Nal]-[CAG]7Ac-KKK-miniPEG2-K(cyclo[FGFGRGRQ])- 7 9550.04 9649.6 40, 76 RK-PEG12-(2-Nal)-[CAG]7Ac-KK-miniPEG2-K(cyclo[FGFGRGRQ])- 40, 30, 8 9650.04 9649.3 PEGi2-KRK-(2-Nal)-[CAG]7 76 Ac-K-miniPEG2-K(cyclo[FGFGRGRQ])- 40, 34, 9 9650.04 9649.6 PEG12-KKRK-(2-Nal)-[CAG]776 Ac-K(cyclo[FGFGRGRQ])-PEGi2-KKKRK- 40, 37, 10 9504.88 9504.4(2-Nal)-[CAG]7 76 Ac-KKK-K(cyclo[FGFGRGRQ])-RK-PEGi2- 89, 40, 11 9504.88 9504.2(2-Nal)-[CAG]776 Ac-KKK-K(cyclo[FGFGRGRQ])-PEGt2-RK- 89, 40, 12 9504.88 9504.3(2-Nal)-[CAG]7 76 Ac-KKK-K(cyclo[FGFGRGRQ])-PEGi2-rk- 89, 40, 13 9504.88 9504.3(2-nal)-[CAG]776 Ac-K(cyclo[FGFGRGRQ])-PEGi2-kkkr-(2- 40, 31, 14 9376.71 9376.2nal)-[CAG]7 76 Ac-pkkkrkv-miniPEG2-k(cyclo[fGfrrrrQ])- 10, 45, 15 10044.55 10044.6 PEGi2-dNal-[CAG]776 Ac-pkkkrkv-miniPEG2-k(cyclo[fGfrrrQ])- 10, 45, 16 10044.55 10044.5 PEGj2-Nal-[CAG]7 76 Ac-pkkkrkv-miniPEG2-k(cyclo[fffrrrrQ])- 10, 82, 17 10134.67 10134PEGi2-dNal-[CAG]7 76Molecular Observed SEQ ID No. EEV-PMO conjugateweight mass NOS: Ac-pkkkrkv-miniPEG2- 10, 81, 18 10044.55 10044.6 k(cyclo[FGFRRRRQ])-PEGi2-dNal-[CAG]7 76 Ac-pkkkrkv-miniPEG2-k( cyclo[fGfGrGrQ] )- 10, 83, 19 9846.28 9846.3 PEG12-dNal-[CAG]776 Ac-PKKKRKV-miniPEG2- 18, 40, 20 K(cyclo[FGFGRGRQ])-PEGi2-Bip-BRBRB- 10397.93 10397.435, 76 [CAG]7Ac-KKKRK-miniPEG2- 13, 39, 21 K(cyclo[FiFGRGRQ])-PEGi2-(2-Nal)- 10082.55 1008276 miniPEG2-(2-Nal)-[CAG]7Ac-KKKRK-miniPEG2- 13, 39, 22 K(cyclo[FfFGRGRQ])-PEGi2-BiP-miniPEG2- 10134.62 10134.676 Bip-[CAG]7Ac-KKKRK-mini PEG2- 13, 40, 23 K(cyclo[FGFGRGRQ])-miniPEG2-RF-PEG4- 10143.6 10143.476 M1-[CAG]724 Ac-PKKKRKV-miniPEG2- 18, 39, (FIGS. 4A K(cyclo[FfFGRGRQ])-miniPEG2-RF-PEG4- 9835.27 9833.8676 and 5) [CAG]7Ac-PKKKRKV-miniPEG2- 25 (FIGS. 18, 39,K(cyclo[FfFGRGRQ])-miniPEG2-RF-PEG4- 10058.54 10058.2 4B and 5) 76Bip-[CAG]7Ac-PKKKRKV-miniPEG2- 18, 39, 26 K(cyclo[FfFGRGRQ])-nuniPEG2-RF- 9956.41 9955.776 miniPEG2-Bip-[CAG]727 Ac-KKKRK-miniPEG2- 13, 40, (FIGS. 4C K(cyclo[FGFGRGRQ])-miniPEG2-RF-PEG4- 9772.17 9771.876 and 5) Bip-[CAG]728 (FIGS.

[0352] HSAlRmice (N = 10 per group, 5 males and 5 females, between 6 - 8 weeks of age at start of study) were administered a single intravenous (IV) bolus dose of test compounds (compounds 1-20, 23-25, 27-29, 31-33, 35, 36, 39, 41-48, 50-58, 60, 65, 67, 71-75, 77, 79, 82, 84-86, 88, 89, 95, 99, 101, 103, 104, 107, 120, and 122-124) at either 10 or 20mg / kg via the tailvein on Day 1 Additional groups of HSARmice and WT mice (N = 10) were administered a single dose of saline as negative and positive controls, respectively. Animals were sacrificed at either day 8 post dose administration (1 week readout) via CO2 asphyxiation followed by thoracotomy and exsanguination.
[0353] After the mice were euthanized, tibialis anterior (TA) muscle tissues were collected and homogenized by Omni Bead Mill Homogenizer, and RNA was extracted by Qiacube.
[0354] 500 ng - I pg RNA was reverse transcribed into cDNA using the High-Capacity cDNA Reverse Transcription Kit (ThermoFisher, Cat. No. 4368813) or Cells-to-CT Bulk Fast Advance RT Reagents (ThermoFisher, Cat. No. A39110) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. 10 L qPCR reactions were prepared with 2 pL input cDNA using the TaqMan Fast Advanced Master Mix for qPCR kit (ThermoFisher, Cat. No. 4444965) and TaqMan probes for Atp2al, Bini, Clasp, Clcnl, Kifl3a, Mbnl 1, Vps39, Nfix, or Ryrl. TaqMan FAM probes were designed based on mis-spliced events previously reported by Tanner et al. (NAR 2021, doi.org / 10.1093 / nar / gkab022) and VIC probes were designed to measure expression of constitutive exons within the same transcript. qPCR was performed on an Applied Biosystems QuantStudio 12k Flex using the fast ramp setting.

[0355] The ACt method was used to calculate the relative quantification (RQ) between FAM and VIC probes for each target per sample. For each sample / , normalized splicing values were calculated for each splice event as l-[(RQ / ,f- - RQM?) / ( QHSALRJ - RQwiWow)], where QwildtypeJ and RQJ7S4ZT?,;are the mean relative quantification for transcript j within wild type and vehicle treated mice, respectively. The overall mouse DM1 Splicing Index (mDSI) was then calculated as the mean of all the normalized splicing values per sample. In this normalization, the saline-treated HSA[ Rmice average is set to 1.0, and saline-treated WT mice average set to 0.0.
[0356] Compounds 14, 16, 19, 20, 23-25, 27-29, 31-33, 39, 41, 47, 48, 50-52, 54-58, 65, 67, 71- 75, 77, 79, 82, 84-86, 88, 89, 95, 101, 103, 104, 107, 120, 122, and 123 were shown to have mDSI data of 0-0.7 at either 10 or 20 mg / kg.
