vx-787

Clorgyline is an antidepressive agent and monoamine oxidase inhibitor related to PARGYLINE.

Pimodivir (VX-787), an influenza A virus polymerases inhibitor via oral, interacts with the viral PB2 subunit.

Pimodivir, also known as VX-787, JNJ-872, is a novel inhibitor of influenza virus replication that blocks the PB2 cap-snatching activity of the influenza viral polymerase complex. VX-787 binds the cap-binding domain of the PB2 subunit with a KD (dissociation constant) of 24 nM as determined by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). The cell-based EC50 (the concentration of compound that ensures 50% cell viability of an uninfected control) for VX-787 is 1.6 nM in a cytopathic effect (CPE) assay, with a similar EC50 in a viral RNA replication assay. VX-787 is active against a diverse panel of influenza A virus strains, including H1N1pdm09 and H5N1 strains, as well as strains with reduced susceptibility to neuraminidase inhibitors (NAIs).
