cmx001 is a broad spectrum antiviral agent [1].cmx001 has been reported to be active in vitro against a broad range of viruses from all five families of dsdna viruses infecting human with ec50 values of 0.02μm, 0.0004μm, 17μm , 0.045μm and 0.07μm for adenovirus, herpesvirus, papillomavirus, polyomavirus and orthopoxvirus, respectively. in addition, cmx001 has been revealed to arrest disease progression by inhibiting viral dna replication and thereby reducing viral burden. apart from these, initial studies has been demonstrated the efficacy of cmx001 for pre-exposure and post-exposure prophylaxis in mouse, rabbit, cynomolgus monkeys and human [1].
