Serotype I and II Feline Coronavirus Replication and Gene Expression Patterns of Feline Cells-Building a Better Understanding of Serotype I FIPV Biology

Sarah Cook et al.

Summary: Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is caused by genetic variants of feline coronavirus (FCoV) and feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV), currently classified into two serotypes, I and II. While serotype II FIPV has been more extensively studied, recent advances include the development of a culture-adapted feline cell line for improved understanding of serotype I FIPV biology and research on coronavirus receptors in feline cells.

The development and validation of a novel LC-MS/MS method for the simultaneous quantification of Molnupiravir and its metabolite β-d-N4-hydroxycytidine in human plasma and saliva

Alieu Amara et al.

Summary: In response to the recent global pandemic, Molnupiravir (MPV) or EIDD-2801, originally developed for treating uncomplicated influenza, is now being tested for treating infections caused by highly pathogenic coronaviruses, such as COVID-19. A sensitive LC-MS/MS method has been developed and validated for the simultaneous quantification of MPV and its metabolite beta-d-N4-hydroxycytidine (NHC) in human plasma and saliva. This method is now being utilized for clinical pharmacokinetic studies to determine the levels of MPV and its metabolite in COVID-19 patients.

Human Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Molnupiravir, a Novel Broad-Spectrum Oral Antiviral Agent with Activity against SARS-CoV-2

Wendy P. Painter et al.

Summary: Molnupiravir showed rapid appearance and dose-proportional increase in plasma, with good tolerability in healthy volunteers. The study evaluated single and multiple doses of molnupiravir and the impact of food on pharmacokinetics in subjects, showing no accumulation following multiple doses and a decrease in absorption rate when administered with food, but no decrease in overall exposure.

SARS-CoV-2 infection is effectively treated and prevented by EIDD-2801

Angela Wahl et al.

Summary: The study suggests that bats may be the source of coronaviruses that can be directly transmitted to humans. Using the LoM model, efficient replication of SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2, and two SARS-like bat coronaviruses in human lung tissue was demonstrated. Infection with SARS-CoV-2 predominantly targets human lung epithelial cells and induces a sustained inflammatory response. The broad-spectrum antiviral agent EIDD-2801 significantly inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication in vivo, showing potential for prevention and treatment of COVID-19.

A retrospective study of clinical and laboratory features and treatment on cats highly suspected of feline infectious peritonitis in Wuhan, China

Yiya Yin et al.

Summary: This study in Wuhan, China aimed to review clinical and laboratory features and treatment of cats highly suspected of FIP. Age and neutering status were significantly correlated with FIP-suspicion, while sex, breed, and onset month were not associated with FIP. Effusion, increased SAA, and lymphopenia were common in FIP cases. GS-441524 and GC376 were efficient for the treatment of FIP-suspected cats.

Curing Cats with Feline Infectious Peritonitis with an Oral Multi-Component Drug Containing GS-441524

Daniela Krentz et al.

Summary: The study showed that oral treatment with Xraphconn (R) was highly effective for FIP cats, leading to dramatic improvement in clinical and laboratory parameters, massive reduction in viral loads, and without causing serious adverse effects. This drug could be a potential effective treatment option for severe coronavirus-associated diseases in different species.

Jiashu Xie et al.

Summary: The study examined the potential of Remdesivir and its parent nucleoside GS-441524 as oral drugs for treating COVID-19. Results showed that Remdesivir had poor stability in vitro, while GS-441524 exhibited better metabolic stability and oral bioavailability, indicating its potential as a promising oral antiviral drug for COVID-19 treatment.

Unlicensed GS-441524-Like Antiviral Therapy Can Be Effective for at-Home Treatment of Feline Infectious Peritonitis

Sarah Jones et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the use of unlicensed GS-441524-like antiviral therapy in treating cats suspected of FIP. The majority of owners were from the United States, with only a small percentage receiving help from veterinarians. While the treatment cost was high, most owners reported significant improvement within one week, with majority of cats surviving and being cured, despite some relapses and deaths. Reported complications were mainly related to owner administration of injections.
