Honokiol is a bioactive, biphenolic phytochemical that possesses potent antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, antiangiogenic, and anticancer activities by targeting a variety of signaling molecules. It inhibits the activation of Akt. Honokiol can readily cross the blood brain barrier.

Mipomersen sodium scrambled negative control is the sequence scrambled negative control of Mipomersen sodium.

BI-1388 is a macrocyclic acylsulfonamide-based HCV NS3-4A protease inhibitor. BI-1388 inhibits clinically relevant drug-resistant mutant strains (KRAS^D168V gt 1b and KRAS^R155K gt 1a) and exhibits high liver distribution. BI-1388 is applicable for the research of HCV infection.

Antiviral agent 82 (example 1) is an anti-HCV agent. Antiviral agent 82 can be used to prevent infection with flaviviruses, particularly hepatitis C virus.

Myriocin (Thermozymocidin), a fungal metabolite could be isolated from Myriococcum albomyces, Isaria sinclairi and Mycelia sterilia, is a potent inhibitor of serine-palmitoyl-transferase (SPT) and a key enzyme in de novo synthesis of sphingolipids. Myriocin suppresses replication of both the subgenomic HCV-1b replicon and the JFH-1 strain of genotype 2a infectious HCV, with an IC₅₀ of 3.5 μg/mL for inhibiting HCV infection.

Artemisinin (Qinghaosu), a sesquiterpene lactone, is an anti-malarial agent isolated from the aerial parts of Artemisia annua L. plants. Artemisinin inhibits AKT signaling pathway by decreasing pAKT in a dose-dependent manner. Artemisinin reduces cancer cell proliferation, migration, invasion, tumorigenesis and metastasis and has neuroprotective effects.

AG-1478 (Tyrphostin AG-1478) is a selective EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor with IC₅₀ of 3 nM. AG-1478 has antiviral effects against HCV and encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV).

Asunaprevir (BMS-650032) is a potent and orally bioavailable hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS3 protease inhibitor, with IC₅₀ of 0.2 nM-3.5 nM. Asunaprevir inhibits SARS-CoV-2 3CL^pro activity.

BLT-1, a thiosemicarbazone copper chelator, is a selective scavenger receptor B, type 1 (SR-BI) inhibitor. BLT-1 inhibits the transfer of lipids between high-density lipoproteins (HDL) and cells mediated by SR-BI. BLT-1 is a potent HCV entry inhibitor.

Sofosbuvir (GS-7977) is an HCV RNA replication inhibitor with an EC₅₀ of 92 nM.

Grazoprevir (MK-5172) is a selective inhibitor of Hepatitis C virus NS3/4a protease with broad activity across genotypes and resistant variants, with K_is of 0.01 nM (gt1b), 0.01 nM (gt1a), 0.08 nM (gt2a), 0.15 nM (gt2b), 0.90 nM (gt3a), respectively. Grazoprevir inhibits SARS-CoV-2 3CL^pro activity.

Simeprevir (TMC435; TMC435350) is an oral, potent and highly specific hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS3/4A protease inhibitor with a K_i of 0.36 nM. Simeprevir inhibits HCV replication with an EC₅₀ of 7.8 nM. Simeprevir also potently suppresses SARS-CoV-2 replication and synergizes with Remdesivir. Simeprevir inhibits the main protease (M^pro) and the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) of SARS-CoV-2, and also modulates host immune responses.

NIM811 ((Melle-4)cyclosporin; SDZ NIM811) is an orally bioavailable mitochondrial permeability transition and cyclophilin dual inhibitor, which exhibits potent in vitro activity against hepatitis C virus (HCV) .

EIDD-1931 (Beta-d-N4-hydroxycytidine; NHC) is a novel nucleoside analog and behaves as a potent anti-virus agent. EIDD-1931 effectively inhibits the replication activity of venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV), Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV).

RO8191 (CDM-3008), an imidazonaphthyridine compound, is an orally active and potent interferon (IFN) receptor agonist. RO8191 directly binds to IFNα/β receptor 2 (IFNAR2) and activates IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs) expression and JAK/STAT phosphorylation. RO8191 shows antiviral activity against both HCV and EMCV with an IC₅₀ of 200 nM for HCV replicon. RO8191 is a cccDNA modulator (CDM) through interferon-like activity and has anti-HBV activity.

GSK-A1 is a selective type III phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase PI4KA (PI4KIIIα) inhibitor with a pIC₅₀ of 8.5-9.8. GSK-A1 inhibits PtdIns(4,5)P2 resynthesis with an IC₅₀ of about 3 nM. GSK-A1 potently decreases the levels of PtdIns(4)P with a negligible effect on PtdIns(4,5)P2. GSK-A1 has the potential for anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) research.
