Taurultam
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Taurultam is the major active hydrolytic metabolite of Taurolidine (HY-W011522), which selectively activates hTRPA1 to trigger effects in sensory neurons. Taurultam exhibits activity against SARS-CoV-2 variants, influenza A viruses (H1N1, H3N2) and influenza B viruses. Taurultam induces mild tracheal sensory nerve stimulation and CGRP release in mice. Taurultam can be used in studies related to SARS-CoV-2 infection, influenza virus infection, and co-infection with SARS-CoV-2 and influenza A virus.

Biological Activity
Taurultam (100 μM-10 mM; 20 seconds) selectively activates HEK293 cells transfected with hTRPA1 in a concentration-dependent manner, and significant calcium influx is observed at concentrations ≥ 100 μM[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Taurultam (140 mg/kg/day; i.p.; daily; 5 days) promotes body weight recovery, reduces lung injury, and lowers viral loads in 4-week-old female golden hamsters infected with SARS-CoV-2 BA.2 strain[1].
Taurultam (200 mg/kg/day; i.p.; daily; 5 days) reduces lung index and viral loads in female BALB/c mice infected with SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.2 strain[1].
Taurultam (200 mg/kg/day; i.p.; daily; 5 days) reduces lung index and viral loads in female BALB/c mice infected with SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BF.7 strain[1].

Taurultam (200 mg/kg/day; i.p.; daily; 5 days) mitigates body weight loss, improves survival, and reduces lung injury in 8-week-old female BALB/c mice infected with a lethal dose of influenza A H1N1-UI182 virus[1].
Taurultam (200 mg/kg/day; i.p.; daily; 5 days) mitigates body weight loss and reduces lung injury in 8-week-old female BALB/c mice infected with a nonlethal dose of influenza B IBV/S9-MD virus[1].
Taurultam (200 mg/kg/day; i.p.; daily; 5 days) delays death, reduces lung injury, and lowers viral loads of both SARS-CoV-2 and influenza A H1N1-UI182 in female BALB/c mice with viral coinfection[1].
Taurultam (140 mg/kg/day; i.p.; daily; 5 days) mitigates body weight loss and reduces lung injury in 4-week-old female golden hamsters with SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BF.7 and influenza A H1N1-UI182 coinfection[1].
