Branaplam, also known as LMI070 and NVS-SM1, is a highly potent, selective and orally active small molecule experimental drug being developed by Novartis to treat spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). It is a pyridazine derivative that works by increasing the amount of functional survival of motor neuron protein produced by the SMN2 gene through modifying its splicing pattern.[1][2]

As of March 2017, branaplam is in a phase-II clinical trial in children with SMA type 1.[3][4]
