Chimerix recently announced that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Tembexa (brincidofovir) tablets and oral suspensions for the treatment of smallpox
Tembexa is a lipid conjugate of nucleotide analogues, designed to simulate natural monoacyl phospholipids to achieve an effective intracellular concentration of antiviral active metabolite cidofovir diphosphate (cidofovir diphosphate)
The FDA approved Tembexa, based on the efficacy data of two lethal orthopox virus animal models of human smallpox disease, namely the rabbitpox model (New Zealand white rabbits infected with rabbitpox virus) and the mousepox model (BALB/c infected with mousepox virus) Mice)
The FDA's "Animal Rules" allow testing of experimental drugs in animal models to support the effectiveness of diseases that are not ethical or suitable for human research
Smallpox is a highly contagious disease caused by the smallpox virus
Smallpox virus is one of the most complicated viruses, with double-stranded DNA genome, brick-shaped virus particles, and a very small amount of virus can cause infection
