- Background
Brincidofovir is an oral antiviral drug used in the treatment of human smallpox infections. It is a lipid conjugate pro-drug of the acyclic nucleotide analogue cidofovir7,3 - this lipid conjugate improves drug delivery to the target cells and significantly reduces the nephrotoxicity typically associated with cidofovir therapy.3,4 Due to its formulation as a pro-drug brincidofovir also carries a greater bioavailability than cidofovir,5,3 allowing for oral administration rather than intravenous. Cidofovir itself has broad antiviral activity against several DNA viruses,3 resulting in brincidofovir being investigated for the prevention and treatment of cytomegalovirus (CMV), BK Virus (BKV), adenoviruses (AdV), and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), amongst others.
Brincidofovir, developed by Chimerix under the brand name Tembexa, was approved by the FDA for the treatment of smallpox infection in June 2021.8 As smallpox has been eradicated, the efficacy of Tembexa was assessed in animals infected with viruses closely related to variola. The approval was granted under the agency’s Animal Rule,9 which allows for a drug to be approved based on the results of well-controlled animal studies when human trials would be unethical or infeasible.

The pharmacologically active agent resulting from brincidofovir metabolism, cidofovir diphosphate, has an exceedingly long duration of action that allows for it to be dosed once weekly. The entirety of a brincidofovir smallpox treatment consists of only two doses, on days 1 and 8, which seemingly reduces the risk of adverse reactions. Regimens involving a longer duration of administration (i.e. more than a single dose on days 1 and 8) have been shown to increase mortality compared to placebo and should therefore be avoided.7 Brincidofovir is considered a potential human carcinogen and has demonstrated the potential to cause infertility7 - as such, its use should be restricted to situations in which it is absolutely necessary.
- Mechanism of action
Brincidofovir is a pro-drug comprising cidofovir conjugated to a lipid molecule - the lipid component mimics an endogenous lipid, lysophosphatidylcholine, which allows the molecule to hijack endogenous lipid uptake pathways to enter infected cells.7,4 Following uptake, the lipid molecule is cleaved to generate cidofovir, which is then phosphorylated to generate the active antiviral compound, cidofovir disphosphate.7
The antiviral effects of cidofovir diphosphate appear to be the result of two distinct mechanisms. Mechanistic studies using recombinant vaccinia DNA polymerase suggest that it inhibits orthopoxvirus DNA polymerase-mediated DNA synthesis. In addition, cidofovir is an acyclic nucleotide analogue of deoxycytidine monophosphate - cidofovir diphosphate can therefore be incorporated into the growing viral DNA chain and consequently slow the rate of viral DNA synthesis.7,3

The oral bioavailability of brincidofovir is 13.4% in its tablet formulation and 16.8% in its suspension formulation.7 Following oral administration, the Cmax and AUCtau of brincidofovir were 480 ng/mL and 3400 ng·hr/mL, respectively. The Cmax and AUCtau of the active metabolite, cidofovir diphosphate, were 9.7 pg/106 cells and 1200 pg·hr/106 cells, respectively.7
Maximum plasma concentrations (Tmax) of brincidofovir are reached at approximately 3 hours post-administration, while maximal plasma concentrations for cidofovir diphosphate are reached at approximately 47 hours post-administration.7
- Volume of distribution
The apparent volume of distribution of brincidofovir is 1230 L.7
- Protein binding
Brincidofovir is >99% protein-bound in plasma,7,4 although the specific protein(s) to which it binds have not been elucidated.
- Metabolism
Brincidofovir is a pro-drug of cidofovir and as such must undergo some basic metabolic reactions to become pharmacologically active. Upon entering the target cell, the phosphodiester bond of brincidofovir is hydrolyzed to generate cidofovir, which is then phosphorylated to generate the active agent: cidofovir diphosphate.7 The specific enzyme(s) responsible for this reaction have not been elucidated, but in vitro findings suggest sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase plays a major role in the initial hydrolysis of brincidofovir.7
There are two major inactive metabolites of brincidofovir, CMX103 and CMX064, which are generated via carboxylation of the terminal carbon followed by several cycles of CYP-mediated oxidative reactions and fatty acid oxidation.7,4 These reactions are mediated, at least in part, by CYP4F2.7

Brincidofovir is eliminated as metabolites in both the urine (~51%) and feces (~40%).7
- Half-life
