Description
RO5487624 is an inhibitor of Influenza A HA-Mediated Fusion. RO5487624 is also a close analogue of RO5464466 with pharmacokinetic properties suitable for in vivo efficacy studies displayed a protective effect on mice that were lethally challenged with influenza H1N1 virus.
Uses
RO5487624, an analogue of RO5464466 (HY-120690), is an orally active hemagglutinin (HA) inhibitor of influenza H1N1 viruses that abolishes influenza virus fusion by blocking HA conformational changes in low pH environments. RO5487624 displays a protective effect on mice that are lethally challenged with influenza H1N1 virus[1].
