Biological Activity

Description Letermovir (AIC246, MK-8228) is a novel anti-CMV compound which targets the viral terminase complex and remains active against virus resistant to DNA polymerase inhibitors.
In vitro

AIC246 blocks viral replication without inhibiting the synthesis of progeny HCMV DNA or viral proteins. It is one of the most potent anti-HCMV agents reported to date, with a cell culture EC50 in the one-digit nanomolar range (∼5 nM) and a selectivity index exceeding 15,000[1].

In vivo

AIC246 treatment leads to a dose-dependent reduction of the HCMV titer in transplanted cells compared to that of the placebo-treated control group using the mouse xenograft model[2].
