Background:

Lumicitabine (ALS-008176) is an inhibitor of the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) polymerase.

Lumicitabine is an orally bioavailable prodrug of the novel RSV replication inhibitor ALS-008112, a cytidine nucleoside analogue[1].

Lumicitabine demonstrates excellent anti-RSV efficacy and safety in a phase 2 clinical RSV challenge study. It exhibits good oral bioavailability and a high level of 2c-TP in vivo. Lumicitabine has excellent stability profiles in formulations (>24 h storage stability in 0.5% methylcellulose aqueous formulation at rt) and simulats gastric and intestinal fluids (half-life >2 h). Its solubility is adequate to support oral administration in solutions with relatively low percentage of organic solvent and in aqueous suspensions. High levels of NMP and NTP are obtained following oral administration of Lumicitabine to monkeys[2]. In an adult human challenge study, Lumicitabine has shown efficacy against RSV infection[1].
