IRBM-Z-2
IRBM-Z-2 is a non-competitive, orally active Zika virus (ZIKV) NS2B-NS3 protease inhibitor, with IC50 values of 0.04 μM and 3.1 μM against the wild-type and I156T mutant strains, respectively. IRBM-Z-2 exhibits broad-spectrum anti-flavivirus potential, with IC50 values of 2.1 μM and 0.09 μM against the NS2B-NS3 proteases of dengue virus 2 (DENV2) and West Nile virus (WNV), respectively. IRBM-Z-1 inhibits ZIKV replication and alleviates virus-induced cytopathic effects. IRBM-Z-1 can be used in studies related to ZIKV infection.

Biological Activity
In biochemical assays, IRBM-Z-2 inhibits the activity of the DENV2 NS2B-NS3T156I mutant protease with an IC50 of 0.4 μM, exhibiting stronger potency compared to the wild-type protease[1].
IRBM-Z-2 (72 h) potently inhibits the replication of wild-type Zika virus (ZIKV) replicons in Vero cells, with an EC50 of 0.03 μM, and no cytotoxicity is detected at concentrations up to 32 μM[1].
IRBM-Z-2 (72 h) inhibits the replication of ZIKV I156T mutant replicon in Vero cells, with an EC50 of 0.79 μM. No cytotoxicity is detected at concentrations up to 32 μM, and it exhibits a characteristic of reduced potency compared with the wild-type replicon[1].
IRBM-Z-2 (72 h) inhibits the replication of WNV replicons in Vero cells with an EC50 of 0.31 μM, and no cytotoxicity is detected at concentrations up to 32 μM[1].
IRBM-Z-2 (6 days) potently inhibits the cytopathic effect (CPE) induced by the ZIKV PRVABC59 strain in BHK-21 cells, with an EC50 of 0.016 μM, and no cytotoxicity is detected even at a concentration as high as 37.9 μM[1].
IRBM-Z-2 (48 h) inhibits the ZIKV Padova strain and H/PF/2013 strain in HuH-7 cells, with apparent IC50 values ranging from 6 to 20 nM, and no cytotoxicity is detected at the tested concentrations[1].
IRBM-Z-2 (6 days) inhibits the cytopathic effect (CPE) induced by West Nile virus strain Kern 515 in Vero76 cells, with an EC50 of 1.0 μM, and no cytotoxicity is detected at concentrations up to 50 μM[1].
