How VX-148 works

VX-148 is a potent inhibitor of inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH), a cellular enzyme that is essential for production of guanine nucleotides, one of the building blocks of RNA and DNA. Blocking IMPDH may be an effective strategy for blocking the proliferation (growth) of certain cell types, such as lymphocytes, and the replication of viruses, since both lymphocytes and viruses depend on nucleotide synthesis for replication.
