MERS-CoV-IN-4
MERS-CoV-IN-4 is an orally active antiviral inhibitor targeting the MERS-CoV spike (S) protein, with an IC50 of 0.009 μM in Huh-7 cells, and Kd values of 7.72 μM for the full-length S protein and 5.09 μM for S-RBD. MERS-CoV-IN-4 inhibits viral entry, and suppresses MERS-CoV pseudoviruses and live viruses in vitro. MERS-CoV-IN-4 reduces pulmonary viral loads in hDPP4 transgenic mice. MERS-CoV-IN-4 can be used for research on Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus infection.

Biological Activity
MERS-CoV-IN-4 (Compound 22) potently inhibits MERS-CoV pseudovirus in Huh-7 cells, with an IC50 of 0.009 μM and a selectivity index of approximately 1494[1].
MERS-CoV-IN-4 inhibits live MERS-CoV (EMC/2012) in Vero-81 cells, with an EC50 of 2.282 μM and a selectivity index of approximately 5.67[1].
MERS-CoV-IN-4 (5-10 μM; 3 h pre-treatment) acts on the early stage of the MERS-CoV life cycle in Vero-81 cells, with an inhibition rate of 30% at 5 μM and over 50% at 10 μM[1].
MERS-CoV-IN-4 (0.24-15.63 μM; 60 s contact, 60 s dissociation) directly binds to purified full-length MERS-CoV S protein (KD = 7.72 μM) and MERS-CoV S-RBD (KD = 5.09 μM) in cell-free SPR assays[1].
