In Vitro
GC376 sodium covalently binds to Cys 139, Cys 147, and Cys 144 of NV 3CLpro, PV 3Cpro, and TGEV 3CLpro, respectively. GC376 sodium is significantly effective against caliciviruses (NV and MNV-1), coronaviruses (TGEV, FIPV, MHV, 229E, and BCV), and picornaviruses (HRVs 18, 51, and 68, EV71, and PTV), with nanomolar or low micromolar IC50s, except for FCV and HAV. Interestingly, FCV is less sensitive to GC376, with IC50 of 35 μM. GC376 sodium shows no or weak effectiveness against the replication of HAV in cells[1]. Proteases from NV, MD145 or MNV-1 are inhibited by GC376 sodium with a similar potency. The IC50 values of GC376 sodium against 3CLpro from NV, MD145, and MNV-1 are comparable among tested viruses[2]. GC376 sodium effectively inhibits the replication of NPI52-resistant viruses in cell culture as wild-type viruses, indicating that the mutation does not confer cross-resistance to GC376 sodium[3].

Protocol
Kinase Assay[2]
The stock solution (10 mM) of GC376 is prepared in DMSO and further diluted in assay buffer. The final concentrations of DMSO in the assay did not exceed 1.5% (vol/vol). The 3CLpro from NV, MD145 or MNV-1 are incubated with various concentrations (0.01 to 50 µM) of GC376 in 25 µL of assay buffer for 30 min at 37 °C. Following incubation, 25 µL of assay buffer containing substrate is added, and the mixtures are incubated in a 96-well black plate at 37 °C for 60 min. The fluorescence signals are detected using an excitation and emission wavelength of 490 and 520 nm on a fluorescence microplate reader. The RFU are calculated for each well, and the dose-dependent FRET inhibition curves are fitted with variable slope (four parameters) using GraphPad Prism software in order to determine the IC50 values of GC376[2].

Animal Administration[4]
Twenty cats from 3.3-82 months of age (mean 10.4 months) with various forms of feline infectious peritonitis are accepted into a field trial. Fourteen cats presented with wet or dry-to-wet FIP and six cats presented with dry feline infectious peritonitis. GC376 is administered subcutaneously every 12 h at a dose of 15 mg/kg. Cats with neurologic signs are excluded from the study. Responses to treatment are monitored[4].
