GS-441524 treatment of cats with naturally occurring feline infectious peritonitis.

Amylin (IAPP), feline TFA, a 37-amino acid polypeptide derived from felines, is a principal secretion product of the pancreatic islets' β-cells. This regulatory peptide notably inhibits the secretion of insulin and glucagon [1].

Amylin (IAPP), feline is the peptide subunit of amyloid found in pancreatic islets of type 2 diabetic patients and in insulinomas.

GR-95168 ((+)-C-BVDU) is an antiviral compound for the study of herpes simplex virus infections type 1 and type 2.

Idoxuridine (Dendrid) is an analog of DEOXYURIDINE that inhibits viral DNA synthesis. The drug is used as an antiviral agent.

Ganciclovir sodium (Cytovene IV sodium) is the sodium salt of Ganciclovir with antiviral activity, especially against cytomegalovirus (CMV) and herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1).

Ganglioside GM2 is a glycosphingolipid component of cellular membranes, primarily the plasma membrane. Levels of ganglioside GM2 are elevated in the brain of patients with Sandhoff disease, as well as feline and mouse models of the disease. Ganglioside GM2 accumulates in the lysosomes of individuals with Tay-Sachs disease and GM2-activator deficiency, as well as in the CNS of patients with and animal models of mucopolysaccharide storage disorders and Niemann-Pick disease types A, C1, and C2. Ganglioside GM2 mixture contains ganglioside GM2 molecular species with C18:1 and C20:1 sphingoid backbones.

GS-441524 was shown to be a safe and effective treatment for feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). The optimum dosage was found to be 4.0 mg kg SC q24h for at least 12 weeks

Ganciclovir (BW 759) hydrate is a nucleoside analogue that is an orally active antiviral agent with anti-cytomegalovirus activity. Ganciclovir hydrate is also active against members of the herpes group and some other DNA viruses in vitro. Ganciclovir hydrate inhibits the replication of human herpes viruses (HSV 1 and 2, CMV) and adenovirus serotypes 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 19, 22 and 28 in vitro. Ganciclovir hydrate also has an IC 50 of 5.2 μM against feline herpesvirus type-1 ( FHV-1 ) and can diffuse into the brain [1] [2] [3].

Idoxuridine hydrate (5-Iodo-2′-deoxyuridine, 5-IUdR, IdUrd) is a competitive inhibitor of phosphorylases. As an iodinated thymidine analogue, it effectively inhibits DNA polymerase and hinders viral replication, making it useful in the treatment of viral eye infections such as herpes simplex keratitis. Against feline herpesvirus, Idoxuridine has been found to have an IC50 value of 4.3 μM [1].

GS-441524 is a potent inhibitor of feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) virus with an EC50 of 0.78 μM.. GS-441524 strongly inhibits feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) virus in tissue culture and experimental cat infection studies. GS-441524 is a molecular precursor to a pharmacologically active nucleoside triphosphate molecule. These analogs act as an alternative substrate and RNA-chain terminator of viral RNA dependent RNA polymerase. GS-441524 was non-toxic in feline cells at concentrations as high as 100 uM and effectively inhibited FIPV replication in cultured CRFK cells and in naturally infected feline peritoneal macrophages at concentrations as low as 1 uM. Note: GS-441524 is an active metabolite of Remdesivir.

Cisapride tartrate is chemically related to metoclopramide, but unlike metoclopramide, it does not cross the blood-brain barrier or have antidopaminergic effects. Cisapride is a serotonin-4 (5-HT4) receptor agonist. Cisapride was indicated for the symptomatic treatment of adult patients with nocturnal heartburn due to gastroesophageal reflux disease. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in America stopped the marketing of cisapride as of 14th July 2000. They had received at least 341 reports of heart rhythm abnormalities and these led to 80 deaths. Other reported adverse effects are: headache, diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, constipation. Cisapride for animals has been found helpful in some cases of megaesophagus and is a common treatment for feline megacolon. Clarithromycin, erythromycin, and troleandomycin markedly inhibit the metabolism of cisapride. Concurrent administration of certain anticholinergic compounds, such as belladonna alkaloids and dicyclomine, would be e......

Dovanvetmab (ZTS-00521505) is an IgG1-κ monoclonal antibody targeting feline interleukin 31 (Felcat IL31), primarily produced in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells [1].

RdRP-IN-2 is an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) inhibitor that significantly inhibits SARS-CoV-2 RdRp with an IC50 of 41.2 µM and also inhibits Feline coronavirus (FIPV) replication.
