Biochem/physiol Actions

GSK983 blocks RNA virus replication with EC50 values of 10–40 nM, and also blocks cell proliferation. GSK983 acts by inhibition of dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH), necesssary for pyrimidine biosynthesis. Exogenous deoxycytidine was able to reduce GSK983 cytotoxicity, allowing cells to synthesize DNA, but still preventing RNA virus replication. GSK983 was active against dengue fever and Venezuelan equine encephalitis viruses.
GSK983 is a tetrahydrocarbazole or a broad spectrum antiviral lead compound. GSK983 acts by stimulating a subset of interferon-stimulated genes.

Broad-spectrum antiviral drugs targeting host processes could potentially treat a wide range of viruses while reducing the likelihood of emergent resistance. Despite great promise as therapeutics, such drugs remain largely elusive. Here we used parallel genome-wide high-coverage short hairpin RNA

GSK983, a novel tetrahydrocarbazole, inhibits the replication of a variety of unrelated viruses in vitro with EC(50) values of 5-20 nM. Both replication of the adenovirus Ad-5 and the polyoma virus SV-40, and episomal maintenance of human papillomaviruses (HPV) and

Metabolic reprogramming is an integral part of the growth-promoting program driven by the MYC family of oncogenes. However, this reprogramming also imposes metabolic dependencies that could be exploited therapeutically. Here we report that the pyrimidine biosynthetic enzyme dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH)
