VV116, also known as JT001, is an oral drug candidate of nucleoside analog against SARS-CoV-2. VV116 is a deuterated, tri-isobutyrate ester prodrug of the RDV parent nucleoside, and is rapidly metabolized into the parent nucleoside (116-N1) in the body. 116-N1 is intracellularly converted to the nucleoside triphosphate active form, which would interfere with the function of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase of SARS-CoV-2, thus exerting antiviral effects (Fig. 1). VV116 showed potent activity against a panel of SARS-CoV-2 variants (alpha, beta, delta, and omicron) and excellent therapeutic efficacy in the mice model.

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
