RO8191
Synonyms: CDM-3008; RO4948191
RO8191 is an imidazonaphthyridine compound that functions as a potent agonist of the interferon (IFN) receptor, specifically targeting the IFNα/β receptor 2 (IFNAR2). This compound stimulates the expression of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) and promotes JAK/STAT phosphorylation, demonstrating significant antiviral activity against hepatitis C virus (HCV) and encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV), with an IC50 of 200 nM for HCV replicon. Additionally, RO8191 acts as a cccDNA modulator, exhibiting interferon-like activity and providing anti-hepatitis B virus (HBV) effects, making it a valuable tool for research in virology and immune modulation.
