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].
