Description:GC376 is a synthetic compound that has garnered attention primarily for its antiviral properties, particularly against coronaviruses. It is classified as a peptidomimetic compound, which means it mimics the structure of peptides but is not composed of amino acids. GC376 functions as a protease inhibitor, specifically targeting the main protease of coronaviruses, thereby disrupting their replication cycle. This mechanism of action makes it a candidate for therapeutic use in treating viral infections, including those caused by coronaviruses like SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV. The compound has shown promise in preclinical studies, demonstrating efficacy in inhibiting viral replication. Additionally, GC376 has been investigated for its potential use in veterinary medicine, particularly in treating feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), a serious viral disease in cats. Its chemical structure and properties contribute to its stability and bioavailability, making it a subject of ongoing research in the field of antiviral drug development.
