Quinine sulfate hydrate (150 μM, 30 min) inhibits the proliferation and cytostatic effects of DENV (Dengue virus) in human hepatocarcinoma HepG2 cell line[1]. Quinine sulfate hydrate (37.5-150 μM, 24 hours) significantly reduces viral DENV RNA and protein levels in a dose-dependent manner in human hepatocarcinoma HepG2 cell line[1].
