Description:

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

Morphothiadin, also known GLS4, is a potent and selective inhibitor of hepatitis B virus. GLS4 demonstrated potent inhibitory activities in HBV HepG2.2.15 cell assay with an EC50 value of 1nM, and it also exhibited high potency against various drug-resistant HBV viral strains with EC50 values in the range of 10-20nM, more potent than the typical HBV polymerase inhibitors such as lamivudine, telbivudine, and entecavir. Pharmacokinetic profiles of GLS4 were favorable and safety evaluation including acute toxicity and repeated toxicity study indicated that GLS4 was safe enough to support clinical experiments in human.

Product Data
Biological target:
Morphothiadin is a potent inhibitor on the replication of both wild-type and adefovir-resistant HBV with an IC50 of 12 nM.
In vitro activity:
GLS4 demonstrated potent inhibitory activities in HBV HepG2.2.15 cell assay with an EC50 value of 1nM, and it also exhibited high potency against various drug-resistant HBV viral strains with EC50 values in the range of 10-20nM, more potent than the typical HBV polymerase inhibitors such as lamivudine, telbivudine, and entecavir. Reference: Bioorg Med Chem. 2017 Feb 1;25(3):1042-1056. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28082068/
In vivo activity:
In vivo characterization was performed in nude mice inoculated with HepAD38 cells, which grew out as tumors, resulting in viremia. Treatment of mice with GLS4 and BAY 41-4109 showed strong and sustained suppression of virus DNA to about the same extents both during and after treatment. Both drugs reduced the levels of intracellular core antigen in the tumors. Reference: Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2013 Nov;57(11):5344-54. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23959305/
