GS-441524 is an antiviral agent and the main active metabolite of Remdesivir. It has shown remarkable effectiveness in combating various viral infections, particularly feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), a disease caused by feline coronavirus. GS-441524 has become widely recognized in veterinary medicine, especially for its success in treating FIP.
The compound acts by inhibiting the replication of viruses. It specifically targets the viral RNA polymerase, preventing the virus from replicating its genetic material, which helps slow or stop the progression of the infection.
GS-441524 is most renowned for its role in treating feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), a condition once considered incurable. Its availability in tablet form has provided a major breakthrough, leading to remission in numerous cases.
Despite lacking formal approval as a veterinary medication, GS-441524 has been extensively used by veterinarians, particularly when other treatments have proven ineffective.

Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) is a fatal viral disease in cats caused by a mutation of the feline coronavirus (FCoV). While most cats infected with FCoV do not develop FIP, in some cases, the virus mutates and triggers an abnormal immune response, leading to FIP.
FCoV is common in multi-cat environments like shelters and catteries. The virus is primarily transmitted through fecal-oral contact, where cats ingest the virus from contaminated surfaces, litter boxes, or grooming each other.
