N4-Hydroxyctidine, or EIDD-1931, is a ribonucleoside analog which induces mutations in RNA virions. N4-hydroxycytidine was first described in the literature in 1980 as a potent mutagen of bacteria and phage. It has shown antiviral activity against Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus, and the human coronavirus HCoV-NL63 in vitro. N4-hydroxycytodine has been shown to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 as well as other human and bat coronaviruses in mice and human airway epithelial cells. It is orally bioavailable in mice and distributes into tissue before becoming the active 5-triphosphate form, which is incorporated into the genome of new virions, resulting in the accumulation of inactivating mutations. In non-human primates, N4-hydroxycytidine was poorly orally bioavailable. A [remdesivir] resistant mutant mouse hepatitis virus has also been shown to have increased sensitivity to N4-hydroxycytidine. The prodrug of N4-hydroxycytidine, [EIDD-2801], is also being investigated for its broad spectrum activity against the coronavirus family of viruses.

4 Drug and Medication Information
4.1 Drug Indication

N4-hydroxycytidine and its prodrug [EIDD-2801] is being studied for its activity against a number of viral infections including influenza, MERS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2.


5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

N4-hydroxycytidine is orally bioavailable in mice but poorly bioavailable in non-human primates.


5.2 Metabolism/Metabolites

N4-hydroxycytidine distributes into tissues where it is is phosphorylated to the 5'-triphosphate form.


5.3 Mechanism of Action

N4-hydroxycytidine is phosphorylated in tissue to the active 5-triphosphate form, which is incorporated into the genome of new virions, resulting in the accumulation of inactivating mutations, known as viral error catastrophe. A [remdesivir] resistant mutant mouse hepatitis virus has also been shown to have increased sensitivity to N4-hydroxycytidine.
