Description: Vesatolimod, also known as GS-9620, is a potent and oral agonist of Toll-like receptor-7 developed for finite treatment of chronic hepatitis B viral (HBV) infection, with the goal of inducing a liver-targeted antiviral effect without inducing the adverse effects associated with current systemic interferon-α (IFN-α) therapies. GS-9620 demonstrate interferon-stimulated gene induction without detectable serum interferon at low oral doses. GS-9620 can induce a sustained antiviral response in the woodchuck model of CHB.

More Info:

Biological target: Vesatolimod (GS-9620) is an agonist of Toll-Like Receptor (TLR7) with an EC50 of 291 nM.
In vitro activity: As shown in Table 1, GS-9620 was inactive against HIV in isolated CD4+ T cells and macrophages up to the highest concentration tested (10 μM) but did show dose-dependent inhibition of HIV-1 replication in complete PBMCs following infection with either HIV-1BaL (EC50 = 536 nM) or HIV-1VSV-G-LUC (EC50 = 953 nM). Although GS-9620-mediated antiretroviral activity varied significantly between individual donors, its antiretroviral potency in PBMCs was enhanced by approximately 35-fold when GS-9620 was added 48 h prior to infection with HIV-1VSV-G-LUC (EC50 = 27 nM). Similar potency improvements were also observed in GS-9620-pretreated PBMCs infected with HIV-1BaL (data not shown). The antiretroviral activity was likely not due to cytotoxicity. A 50% cytotoxic concentration (CC50) value of 22 μM for uninfected activated PBMCs translates to a mean selectivity index (CC50/EC50 ratio) of 815-fold for GS-9620.

In vivo activity: GS-9620 treatment induced marked, sustained reductions in serum WHV DNA noted as early as the first week of treatment. GS-9620 induced reductions in viremia occurred in nearly all GS-9620-treated woodchucks by week 4 (Fig. 3 and Table 2). In contrast, the placebo group had no changes in serum WHV DNA. WHV-infected woodchucks treated QOD for 4 weeks (group 3) had a uniformly marked antiviral response with a mean maximal viral load reduction of 6.2 log10. At the end of the study (week 35), this group had a mean 4.8 log10 reduction in viral load. Mean viral load in this group during weeks 3–35 were significantly reduced compared to pretreatment (all p<0.05) and the placebo control group at weeks 2–35 (all p<0.05).
