VX-148 is a potent inhibitor of inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH), a cellular enzyme that is essential for production of guanine nucleotides, one of the building blocks of RNA and DNA. Blocking IMPDH may be an effective strategy for blocking the proliferation (growth) of certain cell types, such as lymphocytes, and the replication of viruses, since both lymphocytes and viruses depend on nucleotide synthesis for replication.
Investigated for use/treatment in autoimmune diseases, psoriasis and psoriatic disorders, and viral infection.
One entry per invention. Patent families filed in the US, EP, WO and CN offices.
