Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) caused by feline coronavirus (FCoV) is a common dis-ease in cats, fatal if untreated, and no effective treatment is currently legally available. The aim of this study was to evaluate efficacy and toxicity of the multi-component drug Xraphconn in vitro and as oral treatment in cats with spontaneous FIP by examining survival rate, development of clinical and laboratory parameters, viral loads, anti-FCoV antibodies, and adverse effects. Mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance identified GS-441524 as an active component of Xraphconn. Eighteen cats with FIP were prospectively followed up while being treated orally for 84 days. Values of key parameters on each examination day were compared to values before treatment initiation using linear mixed-effect models. Xraphconn displayed high virucidal activity in cell culture. All cats recovered with dramatic improvement of clinical and laboratory parameters and massive reduction in viral loads within the first few days of treatment without serious adverse effects. Oral treatment with Xraphconn containing GS-441524 was highly effective for FIP without causing serious adverse effects. This drug is an excellent option for the oral treatment of FIP and should be trialed as potential effective treatment option for other severe coronavirus-associated diseases across species.
猫传染性腹膜炎(FIP)是由猫冠状病毒(FCoV)引起的一种常见疾病,如果不治疗,猫会死亡,目前尚无有效的治疗方法。本研究旨在通过检查生存率、临床和实验室参数的发展、病毒载量、抗 FCoV 抗体和不良反应,评估多组分药物 Xraphconn 在体外和口服治疗自发性 FIP 猫的疗效和毒性。质谱和核磁共振鉴定 GS-441524 为 Xraphconn 的一种活性成分。18 只患有 FIP 的猫被前瞻性地随访,接受 84 天的口服治疗。使用线性混合效应模型比较每个检查日的关键参数值与治疗开始前的值。Xraphconn 在细胞培养中表现出高病毒杀灭活性。所有猫在治疗的最初几天内都恢复了健康,临床和实验室参数显著改善,病毒载量大幅降低,没有严重的不良反应。含有 GS-441524 的 Xraphconn 口服治疗对 FIP 非常有效,没有引起严重的不良反应。该药物是治疗 FIP 的理想选择,应该在其他严重的冠状病毒相关疾病中进行试验,作为潜在有效的治疗选择。
