AVN-944 is an orally bioavailable, highly selective, nonnucleoside and uncompetitive inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) inhibitor with antitumor and antiviral activities. AVN-944 depletes intracellular GMP levels and inhibits DNA and RNA viruses replication via reduction of GTP pools in infected cells. Arrests a wide range of hematologic and epithelial tumor cell types proliferation (IC50 of 0.02 µM to 0.279 µM).
