The area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to 24 h (AUC0-24) of Morphothiadin (GLS4) is 556 h ng/mL. After intravenous administration of 10 mg/kg Morphothiadin, the total plasma clearance and apparent volume distribution are 4.2 liters/h/kg and 7.38 liters/kg, respectively. The bioavailability of Morphothiadin is 25.5%. It is found that virus titers have increased 83.5-fold in mice treated with 3.75 mg/kg per day of Morphothiadin, 28.3-fold among mice treated with 7.5 mg/kg per day, but only 3- to 6-fold among mice treated with the higher doses of Morphothiadin. There is generally an inverse relationship between Morphothiadin dose and virus titer, with the greatest rebound seen in mice treated with 3.75 mg/kg per day of Morphothiadin (540-fold) and the smallest rebound in mice treated with 60 mg/kg per day (23-fold) (P<0.001). The Morphothiadin doses of >7.5 mg/kg per day significantly suppresses the virus replication cycle throughout the treatment period, while Morphothiadin doses of >15 mg/kg per day suppresses virus for up to 2 weeks after the end of treatment[2].
