GS-441524 is a nucleoside analogue antiviral drug developed by Gilead Sciences, primarily known as the main plasma metabolite of remdesivir. It has shown significant efficacy in treating feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), a lethal disease in cats caused by feline coronavirus.
GS-441524 has a half-life of approximately 24 hours in humans and has demonstrated antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2 in vitro, with some studies suggesting it may be more effective than remdesivir for COVID-19 treatment.
The molecule works by inhibiting viral RNA replication and is well-tolerated in cats, with minimal side effects. Recent studies have also explored shorter treatment durations, showing that a 42-day course can be as effective as the standard 84-day regimen.
