Supplied as an off-white solid.

A nonpeptidic thiophenylmethanamine compound that binds interferon-a (Kd= 4uM for human IFN-a) and prevents IFN-a and IFNAR interaction-dependent IFN-a production in murine BM-pDCs (bone marrow-derived plasmacytoid dendritic cells) cultures upon MVA infection (IC50<4.5uM), while exhibiting no inhibitory effect against IL-12 production in the same cultures when applied at non-toxic concentrations (<4.5uM).
