Sofosbuvir is a nucleotide analog inhibitor of hepatitis C virus NS5B polymerase - the key enzyme mediating HCV RNA replication. Sofosbuvir is a prodrug and after ingestion it is rapidly converted to GS-331007, the predominant circulating drug that accounts for greater than 90% of the systemically active drug. The compound GS-331007 is efficiently taken up by hepatocytes, whereby cellular kinases convert GS-331007 to its pharmacologically active uridine analog 5’-triphosphate form (GS-461203). This triphosphate compound mimics the natural cellular uridine nucleotide and is incorporated by the HCV RNA polymerase into the elongating RNA primer strand, resulting in chain termination. The active form GS-461203 targets the NS5B catalytic site and acts as a non-obligate chain terminator. The active compound (GS-461203) does not inhibit host DNA polymerases, RNA polymerases, or mitochondrial RNA polymerase. Sofosbuvir (alone or in in combination with other medications) is used to treat Hepatitis C.

m-Chlorophenylpiperazine (meta-chlorophenylpiperazine or mCPP) is a psychoactive substance, which is illegal in many countries but can be found on the black market. It induces endocrine, neurological and psychiatric effects. mCPP is a partial agonist at the 5-HT2C receptor but antagonized the 5-HT2B and 5-HT3 receptors. mCPP is also an active metabolite of the drug trazodone, which is used as an effective antidepressant drug with a broad therapeutic spectrum, including anxiolytic efficacy. It is known, that mCPP induces migraine attacks and that the decrease of food intake induced by the mCPP depends on its ability to act as a serotonin agonist is a brain.
