Biological Activity
Emetine is a RNA polymerase inhibitor. It inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication (EC50 = 460 nM) and in combination with Remdesivir (Cat. No.7226) synergistically inhibits the viral yield of SARS-CoV-2 by 64.9%. Emetine attenuates hCoV-OC43, hCoV-NL43, SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, and MHV-A59 in vitro with EC50 values in the low micromolar range. It also inhibits replication of a broad range of RNA and DNA viruses, including influenza, ebolavirus and HIV-1. Emetine potently inhibits ZIKV replication in vitro (IC50 = 52.9 nm) and suppresses ZIKV viral load in vivo. Anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antimalarial, antibacterial and anti-amebic.Technical Data
