Description:

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

Vidofludimus, also known as 4SC 101 or SC12267, is a novel orally active and potent DHODH inhibitor. In vitro, 4SC-101 is a potent inhibitor of human DHODH, inhibits lymphocyte proliferation, and uniquely blocks phytohemagglutinin-stimulated IL-17 production by lymphocytes. In vivo, oral administration of 4SC-101 effectively improved both chronic DSS and acute TNBS colitis in mice. 4SC-101 may have potential for the treatment of intestinal inflammation. Dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) is a key enzyme involved in pyrimidine biosynthesis. DHODH is a known target for the treatment of autoimmune diseases.

Biological target:
Vidofludimus(4SC-101; SC12267) is a novel immunosuppressive drug that inhibits DHODH and inhibits IL-17 in vitro.
In vitro activity:
The antiviral activity of IMU-838 was determined by RT-qPCR using infectious supernatants of SARS-CoV-2-infected Vero cells. Cells were used for infection with SARS-CoV-2 at an MOI of 0.0002 for 2–3 days, before supernatants were collected and subjected to the determination of extracellular viral load by RT-qPCR. In all cases of the slightly modified settings in replicates 1–3, the EC50 values of IMU-838 remained in the low micromolar range (6.0 ± 5.0 µM to 10.0 ± 9.0 µM), so that a mean of 7.6 ± 5.8 µM was calculated (Figure 3A). This result was further illustrated by the use of the remaining cell layers for assessing the drug-mediated inhibition of intracellular viral load by an immunostaining of cell layers in the in-cell ELISA (Figure 3B). This finding was supported by the in-cell IF data described above, indicating the IMU-838-mediated inhibition of viral spike protein and RNA production, with a concentration-dependent reduction of both signals, as compared to the DMSO infection-positive and mock-infected negative controls (Figure 1C). These data indicated a pronounced in vitro anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity of the developmental drug IMU-838.

In vivo activity:
Female MRl lpr/lpr mice were treated with 4SC-101, CYC, or vehicle from 12 to 22 weeks of age because at 12 weeks of age MRLlpr/lpr mice show first signs of proliferative immune complex glomerulonephritis and proteinuria. After 10 weeks of treatment, vehicle-treated MRLlpr/lpr mice showed diffuse proliferative immune complex glomerulonephritis characterized by glomerular IgG deposits, mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis, considerable tubular atrophy, and interstitial fibrosis (Figure 4A). 4SC-101 reduced the glomerular IgG deposits and improved the lupus-like immune complex glomerulonephritis in female MRLlpr/lpr mice in a dose dependent manner (Figure 4A). The chronicity score, a composite score of glomerular and interstitial scarring, was significant for the 300 mg/kg 4SC-101 group. 300 mg/kg 4SC-101 reduced renal macrophage and T cell infiltrates (Figure 4C). 4SC-101 treatment was also associated with an increase of GFR (Glomerular filtration rate) and a decrease of albuminuria in a dose-dependent manner (Figure 5, A and B). It is concluded that the dose-dependent impact of 4SC-101 on systemic autoimmunity translates into antiinflammatory effects on lupus nephritis and improvement of renal dysfunction in MRLlpr/lpr mice.
