Molnupiravir is the 5′-isobutyrate prodrug of the antiviral ribonucleoside analogue β-D-N4-hydroxycytidine (NHC) [1]. Molnupiravir rapidly appears in plasma and is converted to the triphosphate form in cells, which is incorporated into viral RNA in place of cytosine or uracil by RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), causing a break of viral replication[2]. Molnupiravir has been used as an oral antiviral drug to inhibit various RNA virus infections in different cell models and animal models[3].
In vitro, Molnupiravir treatment for 48 hours significantly inhibited the replication of WT SARS-CoV-2 and Omicron SARS-CoV-2 in Calu-3 cells, with IC50 values of 1.965μM and 0.7556μM, respectively[4]. 62.5 μM of Molnupiravir treatment for 72 hours inhibited viral release and replication in fcwf-4 cells infected with Alphacoronavirus suis[5]. Treatment of Vero cells with 96μM of Molnupiravir for 1 hour significantly reduced the viral genome copy number and viral titer of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus, and maintained the normal morphology of the cells[6].
In vivo, Molnupiravir treatment via intragastrical administration (500mg/kg) once 2 hours before MERS-CoV infection, as well as at 12 hours, 24 hours, and 48 hours after infection, can improve lung function, reduce virus titer, and alleviate weight loss in hDPP4 288/330 gene-modified mice [7]. Oral administration of Molnupiravir (100mg/kg) twice daily to female ferrets within 3.5 days after infection with H1N1 influenza virus significantly reduced viral load, alleviated fever, airway epithelial tissue pathological changes, and inflammation[8].

Molnupiravir是抗病毒核糖核苷类似物β-D-N4-hydroxycytidine (NHC)的5′-isobutyrate前体药物[1]。Molnupiravir在血浆中迅速转化,并在细胞内磷酸化为三磷酸形式,通过RNA依赖性RNA聚合酶(RdRp)替代胞嘧啶或尿嘧啶掺入病毒RNA,从而阻断病毒复制[2]。Molnupiravir已作为口服抗病毒药物,广泛应用于多种细胞模型和动物模型中抑制RNA病毒感染[3]。
在体外,Molnupiravir处理48小时可显著抑制WT SARS-CoV-2和Omicron SARS-CoV-2变异株在Calu-3细胞中的复制,IC50值分别为1.965μM和0.7556μM[4]。62.5μM的Molnupiravir处理72小时抑制感染Alphacoronavirus suis的fcwf-4细胞中的病毒释放和复制[5]。用96µM的Molnupiravir处理Vero细胞1小时,显著降低猪流行性腹泻病毒的基因组拷贝数和病毒滴度,并维持细胞正常形态[6]。
在体内,在MERS-CoV感染前2小时及感染后12、24、48小时分别灌胃给予500mg/kg剂量的Molnupiravir,可改善hDPP4 288/330基因改造小鼠的肺功能,降低病毒滴度并缓解体重下降[7]。在感染H1N1型流感病毒后的3.5天内,对雌性雪貂每日两次口服给予Molnupiravir(100mg/kg),显著降低了病毒载量,缓解了发热症状、减轻了气道上皮组织的病理变化以及炎症反应[8]。

Cell lines | Vero cells |
Preparation Method | Vero cells were cultured in Dulbecco Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM), containing 10% fetal bovine serum, in a 37°C CO₂ incubator. Vero cells were seeded in 12-well cell culture plates (2×105 cells per well), and Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) [infection multiplicity (MOI)=0.1] and different concentrations of Molnupiravir (0, 1.5, 3.0, 6.0, 12.0, 24.0, 48.0, 96.0, and 192.0µM) were added. The plates were incubated at 4°C for 1 hour. The blank control group used DMSO. Then, the culture medium was discarded, and the plates were washed three times with pre-cooled phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). The viral infection level was quantified by RT-qPCR. |
Reaction Conditions | 0, 1.5, 3.0, 6.0, 12.0, 24.0, 48.0, 96.0, and 192.0µM; 1h |
Applications | Molnupiravir reduced the viral genome copy number and viral titer of PEDV in Vero cells in a dose-dependent manner. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | Female ferrets |
Preparation Method | Female ferrets (6 to 8 months old) were housed in an ABSL-2 (animal biosafety level 2) facility. After a one-week rest, the ferrets were weighed and randomly grouped. Ferrets were anesthetized and intranasally infected with 1×105 pfu [A/California/07/2009 (H1N1)] (infection volume=200μl). Within 3.5 days after infection (pI), Molnupiravir (100mg/kg) was administered orally twice daily, and the control group received the same volume of solvent (1% methylcellulose aqueous solution). Implantable telemetry sensors were used to continuously monitor body temperature (readings taken every 2 to 15 minutes). Nasal rinse fluid (collected every 12 hours) and nasal concha (upper respiratory tract) samples were collected to detect viral load. |
Dosage form | 100mg/kg; twice day for 3.5 days; p.o. |
Applications | Molnupiravir administration alleviated fever and reduced virus load in influenza virus-infected ferrets. |
