Physical and Chemical Properties | Bioactive Pimodivir (VX-787) is an orally available inhibitor of influenza A Virus polymerase that acts by inhibiting the PB2 subunit. |
Use | Pimodivir, also known as VX-787, JNJ-872, is a novel inhibitor of influenza virus replication that blocks the PB2 cap-snatching activity of the influenza viral polymerase complex. VX-787 binds the cap-binding domain of the PB2 subunit with a KD (dissociation constant) of 24 nM as determined by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). The cell-based EC50 (the concentration of compound that ensures 50% cell viability of an uninfected control) for VX-787 is 1.6 nM in a cytopathic effect (CPE) assay, with a similar EC50 in a viral RNA replication assay. VX-787 is active against a diverse panel of influenza A virus strains, including H1N1pdm09 and H5N1 strains, as well as strains with reduced susceptibility to neuraminidase inhibitors (NAIs). |
Target | Influenza A polymerases |
In vitro study | Pimodivir rescues macrophages from virus-mediated death at non-cytotoxic concentrations 24 hpi. The EC 50 value for Pimodivir are 8 and 12 nM for A(H1N1) and A(H3N2) strains, respectively, whereas the CC 50 values are >1 μM, giving selectivity indexes (SI) > 125 and > 83 for A(H1N1) and A(H3N2) strains, respectively. Pimodivir significantly attenuates the transcription of viral M1 RNA in macrophages, which are infected with A(H1N1) or A(H3N2) strains for 8 h. Pimodivir inhibits the transcription of viral but not cellular genes. Pimodivir allows some activation of IAV-mediated expression of several cellular genes, which are involved in tryptophan and nucleotide metabolism. Pimodivir possesses excellent anti-IAV but not immuno/metabolo-modulating effect. Pimodivir (VX-787) is very potent against influenza A strains, including pandemic 2009 H1N1 and avian H5N1. Pimodivir (VX-787) shows potent activity against all influenza A virus strains tested, with an EC 50 range of 0.13 to 3.2 nM. Pimodivir-selected PB2 variant viruses maintain susceptibility to neuraminidase inhibitors in vitro. |
In vivo study | Pimodivir (2, 6, and 20 mg/kg/day, p.o.) and GS 4071 (20 mg/kg/day) completely prevent death in the H1N1pdm virus infection in mice. Pimodivir (20 mg/kg/day) is more effective than GS 4071 (20 mg/kg/day) in improving body weight and reducing the severity of lung infection. Moreover, Pimodivir (VX-787) shows 100% survival in a +48 h delay to treatment mouse influenza model at 10, 3 and 1 mpk (BID × 10 days) whereas the SOC, GS 4071, provide no survival benefit in this model at 10 mpk. Pimodivir (VX-787; 1, 3, or 10 mg/kg, bid) provided complete survival, with a dose-dependent reduction in BW loss of the mice. |
