Biological Activity
VV261 (up to 200 µM) potently inhibits CCHFV infection in HUVEC, with an EC50 of 2.72 µM. It exhibits extremely low cytotoxicity, with a selectivity index greater than 73.53[1].
VV261 (2-50 µM) inhibits the activity of CCHFV RdRp in BSR-T7/5 cells in a dose-dependent manner[1].
VV261 (48 h) potently inhibits SFTSV replication in Vero-ATCC cells, with an EC50 of 0.89 μM[2].
VV261 (48 h) potently inhibits LCMV replication in A549 cells, with an EC50 of 0.15 μM[2].

Result:Inhibited LCMV replication with an EC50 of 0.15 μM.
Showed no measurable cytotoxicity at concentrations up to 100 μM, resulting in a selectivity index of >667.
VV261 (2.5-10 mg/kg; p.o.; once daily; for 7 consecutive days) exhibits dose-dependent anti-SFTSV efficacy in IFNAR1tm1Agt mice[2].
VV261 (1-5 mg/kg; p.o.; once daily; for 7 consecutive days) exhibits dose-dependent anti-LCMV efficacy in C57BL/6-Prf1tm1Sdz/J mice[2].

Animal Model:A129 mice (IFNα/β receptor-deficient) (10-week-old male, intraperitoneally challenged with 10 TCID50 CCHFV)[1]
-
Dosage:1 mg/kg; 5 mg/kg; 10 mg/kg
-
Administration:p.o.; once daily; 6 days
-
Result:Showed no significant weight loss, 100% survival through the observation period, and nearly undetectable viral loads in liver and spleen tissue (5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg doses).
Exhibited delayed weight loss and extended survival compared to vehicle controls, but did not achieve full protection, and had ineffective viral load suppression in liver and spleen tissue (1 mg/kg dose).
Remarkably alleviated liver tissue damage (reduced hepatocellular necrosis and lymphocyte filtration) and preserved splenic structure (5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg doses).
-
Animal Model:IFNAR1tm1Agt mice (6-8 weeks old; intraperitoneal infection with 1000 PFU SFTSV)[2]
-
Dosage:2.5 mg/kg; 5 mg/kg; 10 mg/kg
-
Administration:p.o.; once daily; 7 days
-
Result:Achieved 16.7% survival rate at 2.5 mg/kg, and 100% survival rate at 5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg.
Caused initial weight loss with recovery by Day 6 at 2.5 mg/kg; prevented weight loss at 5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg.
Restored near-normal platelet counts and lymphocyte percentages in a dose-dependent manner.
Reduced viral RNA copies in a dose-dependent manner.
Led to significant reduction in infectious virus titers compared to vehicle at 2.5 mg/kg; reduced titers below the limit of detection in multiple organs at 5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg on Day 2 post-infection.
Improved splenic tissue lesions at all doses, with normal splenic tissue structure, clear red/white pulp boundaries, dense and organized lymphocytes in white pulp, and no observable necrosis or significant inflammatory cell infiltration.

Animal Model:C57BL/6-Prf1tm1Sdz/J mice (intraperitoneal infection with 20,000 PFU LCMV)[2]
-
Dosage:1 mg/kg; 2.5 mg/kg; 5 mg/kg
-
Administration:p.o.; once daily; 7 days
-
Result:Achieved 100% survival rate at all tested doses.
Prevented weight loss at all tested doses.
Restored near-normal platelet counts and lymphocyte percentages in all treated groups.
Reduced viral RNA copies in spleen, liver, lung, and kidney in a dose-dependent manner, with efficacy outperforming the reference drug group at all doses on Day 5 post-infection.
Reduced infectious virus titers in spleen, liver, lung, and kidney in a dose-dependent manner; reduced titers below the limit of detection at 2.5 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg in multiple organs, outperforming the reference drug group on Day 5 post-infection.
Significantly improved splenic tissue lesions at all doses, with largely normal splenic structure, clear red/white pulp boundaries, no evident necrosis, and no significant inflammatory cell infiltration.
