Functions

Umifenovir (131707-23-8) is a broad-spectrum antiviral medication. It has shown activity against influenza A,B,and C, respiratory syncytial, SARS-CoV, adeno, parainfluenza type 5, polio, rhino, coxsackie, hanta, chikungungya, hepatitis B and C viruses. It blocks hemagglutinin-mediated membrane fusion of influenza virus particles. Umifenovir has recently been shown to inhibit SARS-CoV2 infection by blocking virus entry as well as release from endolysosomes during intracellular trafficking. It has been suggested that Umifenovir may block trimerization of the spike glycoprotein, a key step in host cell adhesion.

 

Application Procedures

First dissolved in DMSO (up to at least 15 mg/ml) or in Ethanol (up to at least 10 mg/ml), then diluted to aqueous buffer. Solutions in DMSO may be stored at -20°C for up to 3 months.
