InvivoChem Cat #:V21482CAS #:222631-44-9Purity >=98%Description: Galidesivir, formerly known as BCX-4430 and Immucillin-A, is an adenosine analog and antiviral drug and an adenosine analogue. Galidesivir was originally intended as a treatment for Hepatitis C, but subsequently developed as a potential treatment for deadly filovirus infections such as Ebola virus disease and Marburg virus disease. Galidesivir also shows broad-spectrum antiviral effectiveness against a range of other RNA virus families, including bunyaviruses, arenaviruses, paramyxoviruses, coronaviruses and flaviviruses. BCX4430 has been demonstrated to protect against both Ebola and Marburg viruses in both rodents and monkeys, even when administered up to 48 hours after infection.
