PFM067
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
PFM067 (DMHCA) is an orally active cholestenoic acid amide derivative. PFM067 exhibits antiviral activity against HSV‑2, HSV‑1, and HRV‑A1. PFM067 directly binds the ORD domain of human OSBP with a Kd of 3.96 μM. PFM067 blocks late HSV-2 replication, cell-to-cell fusion, syncytium formation, and infectious progeny production, retains glycoproteins in the cis-Golgi, and may block capsid nuclear egress. PFM067 agonizes LXRβ and inhibits DHCR24, restoring membrane fluidity in diabetic CD34+ cells and CAC cells. PFM067 protects retinal vascular/visual function in diabetic mice. PFM067 can be used in research related to herpesvirus infection and type 2 diabetes.

In Vitro
PFM067 maintains Vero cell viability below 200 μM, with CC50 >200 μM[1].
PFM067 (16.7 μM) strongly reduces the production of infectious HSV-2 progeny virus in Vero cells[1].
PFM067 (0.6-50 μM; exposed simultaneously with infection for 12 h, or pre-exposed for 24 h followed by infection for 12 h) inhibits HSV-2-induced syncytium formation in Vero cells and reduces complete and incomplete infection events after pre-exposure[1].
PFM067 (0.2-16.7 μM) reduces HSV-2-induced syncytium size in Vero cells when added after infection, consistent with inhibition of cell-to-cell fusion[1].
PFM067 does not prevent the accumulation of intranuclear capsids in HSV-2-infected Vero cells but is associated with the absence of extranuclear virus particles[1].
PFM067 (EC90; 11 h) causes HSV-2 glycoproteins to be retained in the cis-Golgi apparatus and restricts ICP5 to the nucleus in infected Vero cells[1].
PFM067 (EC90; 24 h) does not inhibit early ICP8 expression but reduces cytoplasmic ICP5 in HSV-2-infected Vero cells while maintaining gB and gD expression, consistent with a late-stage block[1].
PFM067 inhibits HSV-1 plaque formation in Vero cells, with an EC50 of 3.3 μM when administered before infection and an EC50 of 1.2 μM when administered during infection; it inhibits HSV-2 replication in MRC-5 fibroblasts, with an EC50 of 1.0 μM when administered before infection and an EC50 of 1.1 μM when administered during infection[1].
PFM067 inhibits HSV-2 replication in HeLa cells with an EC50 of 0.13 μM, and no cytotoxicity is detected at concentrations up to >200 μM; only at 50 μM does it cause mild LDH release in HeLa and Hep-2 cells[2].
PFM067 reduces HSV-2 progeny virus production in HeLa cells and shows enhanced antiviral activity when OSBP is silenced[2].
PFM067 inhibits HRV-A1 replication in HeLa cells with an EC50 of 1.018 μM, but shows no antiviral activity against AdV-5[2].
PFM067 (DMHCA) (10 μM; 16-18 h) restores the membrane fluidity of diabetic human peripheral blood CD34+ cells, as measured by FRAP, to non-diabetic baseline levels; it restores the membrane fluidity of diabetic mouse CD45+CD11b-CD133+FLK1+ CACs, as measured by FRAP, to above non-diabetic baseline levels[3].
