RSV604 (RSV-604) is a cell-permeable, non-cytotoxic (CC50 >50 μM) benzodiazepine derivative that is reported to target respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) nucleoprotein (N) via affinity interaction (Kd = 134 μM) and display similar antiviral potency against 40 clinical human RSV isolates (Ave. EC50 = 800 nM), including both subtypes A and B. Although RSV604 displays host-dependent potency against RSV cellular replication (EC50 = 2 μM/HeLa, 1.8 μM/HEp-2, >50 μM/BHK-21 based on cellular viral F protein level 72 hrs post RSV A2 infection) and release (by >1,000,000-fold/HeLa vs. no effect/BHK-21 72 hrs post infection; [RSV604] = EC90), complete loss of infectivity of released RSV from RSV604-treated cells is observed in both HeLa and BHK-21 cultures. RSV604 is also active against bovine RSV, but inactive toward mouse pneumonia virus, human metapneumovirus or parainfluenza virus types 1 &3 (PIV1 &PIV3).

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major pathogen that causes severe lower respiratory tract infection in infants, the elderly and the immunocompromised worldwide. At present no approved specific drugs or vaccines are available to treat this pathogen. Recently, several promising
