Immunopharmacology Ligand
Compound class: Synthetic organic
Comment: This compound is an optimised derivative of STING agonist 2 that has improved solubility and improved potency in primary cells [4]. Like agonist 2 it is one of the chemical structures claimed in GlaxoSmithKline's patent WO2017175147A1 [1]. it behaves as a cyclic dinucleotide mimic to activate the STING pathway.

SARS-CoV-2: Preclinical experimental evidence (in mice) suggests that this STING agonist may be effective in controlling infection by a range of SARS-CoV-2 variants, including B.1.351 (the beta variant [3]) [2]. The mechanistic hypothesis is that directly activating STING transiently stimulates interferon (IFN) signalling and circumvents the virus' ability to block IFN activation in infected respiratory epithelial cells, and re-establishes the innate immune response to infection.
