ARN-75039
ARN-75039 is an orally active arenavirus inhibitor. ARN-75039 binds to sites on the GP2 subunit of the mammarenavirus glycoprotein complex, stabilizes prefusion conformation, and blocks viral entry and endosomal membrane fusion to inhibit viral replication and spread. ARN-75039 can be used for the research of lassa fever, arenaviral hemorrhagic fever, and lethal Junín virus infection.

Biological Activity
ARN-75039 (1 h pretreatment) potently inhibits WT LASV and GPA LASV replication in Vero E6 cells with EC90 values ranging from 1.26 to 46 nM, is noncytotoxic at concentrations up to 25 μM, and has high selectivity indices for both viruses[1].
ARN-75039 (24 h) potently inhibits entry of pGTOV (EC50 = 0.13 nM), pCHAPV (EC50 = 4.3 nM), and pTCRV (EC50 = 0.22 nM) into Vero cells[2].
ARN-75039 (5 days) potently inhibits native TCRV replication in Vero cells with an EC50 of 0.75 nM and a selectivity index of 11,150[2].
ARN-75039 (24 h) inhibits wild-type pTCRV entry into Vero cells with an EC50 of 0.2 nM, while TCRV GP2 mutations E411K/H438R, I418N, and S433G/H438R confer complete resistance, and the T434I mutation confers partial resistance to ARN-75039[2].
ARN-75039 (5 days) has a CC50 of 8362 nM in Vero cells, resulting in a high selectivity index of 11,150 relative to its anti-TCRV activity[2].

ARN-75039 (60 mg/kg loading dose; 7.5-30 mg/kg maintenance dose; p.o.; single loading dose at 7 dpe, twice daily maintenance doses for 13 days) provides 100% survival protection against lethal guinea pig-adapted Lassa virus infection in outbred Hartley guinea pigs, with minimal clinical signs and complete viral clearance by study end[1].
ARN-75039 (10-35 mg/kg; p.o.; daily; 12 days) administered prophylactically provides 100% survival protection against lethal TCRV infection in AG129 mice and completely clears viral infection from serum and tissues[2].
ARN-75039 (20-50 mg/kg; p.o.; daily; 12 days) administered therapeutically provides up to 100% survival protection against lethal TCRV infection in AG129 mice, even when treatment starts up to 7 days post-infection, and completely clears viral infection from serum and tissues[2].
ARN-75039 (60 mg/kg; p.o.; daily; starting 2 days post-challenge) administered starting 2 or 5 days post-JUNV challenge provides 100% survival in Hartley guinea pigs[3].
