Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Celgosivir is an α-glucosidase I inhibitor. Celgosivir was derived from Castanospermum australe seeds, has demonstrated antiviral activity against various viruses, including all four serotypes of dengue virus (DENV). In vitro studies have reported that celgosivir inhibits DENV2 replication with an EC50 value of 1.6 μM. Celgosivir is well absorbed in vitro and in vivo, and is rapidly converted to castanospermine. Celgosivir has a novel mechanism of action (preventing the glycosylation of viral proteins by the host), and demonstrates broad antiviral activity in vitro.

Product Data
Biological target:
Celgosivir (MBI 3253; MDL 28574; MX3253) is an α-glucosidase I inhibitor; inhibits bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) with an IC50 of 1.27 μM in in vitro assay.
In vitro activity:
Celgosivir, a prodrug of castanospermine, is an alpha-glucosidase I inhibitor that impedes the processing of N-linked oligosaccharides on viral envelope glycoproteins, thereby hindering viral maturation. EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG In Vitro Antiviral Activity: Dengue Virus (DENV): In primary human macrophages infected with DENV serotype 2, celgosivir exhibited an EC₅₀ of 5 μM, indicating its potency in reducing viral secretion. PUBMED CENTRAL Hepatitis C Virus (HCV): Celgosivir has demonstrated broad antiviral activity in vitro against HCV. RESEARCHGATE.NET Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus (BVDV): Studies have explored celgosivir's efficacy in combination with other agents to inhibit BVDV replication. SAGE JOURNALS These findings underscore celgosivir's potential as a broad-spectrum antiviral agent targeting host glycoprotein processing pathways.
In vivo activity:
Celgosivir, an alpha-glucosidase I inhibitor, has undergone various in vivo studies to assess its antiviral efficacy: Dengue Virus (DENV): Mouse Models: In AG129 mice infected with DENV serotype 2 (strain TSV01), celgosivir treatment significantly reduced viremia levels. MEDKOO.COM Clinical Trials: The CELADEN phase 1b trial, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study involving 50 patients with confirmed dengue fever, evaluated celgosivir's efficacy and safety. Participants received a 400 mg loading dose followed by 200 mg twice daily for five days. The study found that, while celgosivir was generally safe and well-tolerated, it did not significantly reduce viral load or fever burden compared to placebo. PUBMED.NCBI.NLM.NIH.GOV Hepatitis C Virus (HCV): Clinical Trials: Celgosivir has been investigated as a monotherapy and in combination with standard treatments for HCV. As a monotherapy, it did not demonstrate significant efficacy. However, when combined with pegylated interferon alfa-2b and ribavirin, celgosivir showed a synergistic effect, enhancing antiviral activity in vitro and in phase II clinical trials lasting up to one year in patients with chronic HCV infection. EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus (BVDV): In Vivo Studies: Celgosivir has demonstrated antiviral activity against BVDV, a model for HCV, in vivo. Specifically, in AG129 mice infected with a clinical strain of DENV2 (TSV01), celgosivir treatment significantly reduced viremia levels. MEDKOO.COM These studies highlight celgosivir's potential as a broad-spectrum antiviral agent. However, its clinical efficacy varies across different viruses, emphasizing the need for further research to optimize its therapeutic applications.
