Pocapavir is a capsid-binding molecule. It is a capsid inhibitor that blocks virus uncoating and viral RNA release into cells, which in turn prevents virus replication. Pocapavir is a potent, selective, anti-enterovirus molecule with in vitro and in vivo activities. Antiviral testing against viruses of the 15 most commonly isolated enterovirus serotypes indicates that pocapavir inhibits 80% of the immunotypes (154 viruses) at a concentration that is within the levels of the molecule achievable in plasma after oral dosing in higher animals. Persistent low viral load after therapy completion may indicate lack of antiviral effect from pocapavir for neonatal enteroviral sepsis treatment. Pocapavir had been in phase II clinical trial for the treatment of poliomyelitis but no recent reports on development were identified.
