GS-441524 is an antiviral drug that has shown promise in the treatment of Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP), a viral disease caused by certain strains of feline coronavirus. FIP is a complex and often fatal disease that primarily affects cats.
GS-441524 is a nucleoside analog, meaning it mimics the structure of nucleosides, the building blocks of RNA, which is the genetic material of the virus. It works by inhibiting viral replication, thereby reducing the viral load and potentially slowing down the progression of FIP.
In the context of FIP treatment, GS-441524 is often administered as an injectable medication rather than in tablet form. It is typically given subcutaneously (under the skin) or intravenously (into a vein) by a veterinarian.
