Tilorone dihydrochloride
Based on 2 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Tilorone dihydrochloride is an orally active interferon (IFN) inducer with broad-spectrum antiviral activities. Tilorone dihydrochloride possesses robust anti-Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) activity in vitro and in vivo through stimulation of host innate immunity. Tilorone dihydrochloride can penetrate the blood-brain barrier to activate HIF in the CNS.Tilorone dihydrochloride exhibits an inhibitory activity with EC50 of 230 nM against Ebola virus (EBOV).

Tilorone (0.1, 0.3, 1 μM) dihydrochloride inhibits SFTSV-induced cytopathological effect (CPE) in a dose-dependent manner with no cell toxicity in Huh7 cells[1].
Tilorone dihydrochloride reveals drug-like properties, with solubility of 465 μM at pH 7.4, stable mouse microsomal metabolity (half-time: 47.8 min; CL: 14.5 μL/min/mg) and Caco-2 permeability (10 μM) of 20.4×10-6 cm/s and 8.87×10-6 cm/s[4].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Tilorone (5, 10 mg/kg; intraperitoneally; 12 h prior to challenge, at the time point of challenge, and 12 h after challenge) dihydrochloride with 10 mg/kg dose-dependently inhibits viremia, causes a general increase in IFN-α and IFN-β, reduces the TNF-α and IL-10 in a viremia model based on wild-type 6-week-old female BALB/c mice with SFTSV[1].
Tilorone dihydrochloride (10-50 mg/kg, i.p., once daily for 8 days) exhibits a dose-efficient range against EBOV of 25-50 mg/kg, with full clearance of virus in mice[4].
Tilorone dihydrochloride (30-60 mg/kg, i.p., once, 2 h , 24 h and 48 h postinfection) reveals 100% survival rate at dosage of 30 mg/kg in BALB/c mice, when dosed at 2 h and 24 h postinfection[4]. Tilorone dihydrochloride (2-10 mg/kg, once, i.p.) reveals a pharmacokinetic parameter in BLAB/c mice [4]:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (2.59 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (12.5 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.

For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly:
It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
