Here, we report the synthesis of a compound that increases the transcription of FXN in cells derived from an FRDA patient. The compound was effective in lower (one tenth) concentration than the compound that previously reported. High concentration of the compound is toxic, but toxicity was reduced with a host-guest complex.
