Brequinar (DUP785) is a potent inhibitor of dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) with an IC 50 of 5.2 nM for human DHODH. Brequinar has potent activities against a broad spectrum of viruses. Brequinar also has an anti-SARS2 activity.

体外研究(In Vitro)
Brequinar reduces virus progeny production by >90%, with EC50 of 17 nM. Brequinar (5?μM) also inhibits other orthopoxviruses, and blocks virus DNA replication. Brequinar does not affect virus early gene expression, but has a severe effect on the late stage of the virus cycle. Brequinar reduces the level of envelope protein production and the viral titer in a dose-dependent manner, with EC50 of 78 nM in the CFI assay. Brequinar (5 μM) inhibits viral RNA synthesis. Brequinar has antiviral effect, but the effect is reversed by pyrimidine. Brequinar-resistant viruses can be selected in cell culture. Brequinar (5 μM) suppresses the luciferase activities from both the WT and NS5 mutant replicons. Brequinar sodium effectively prevents the increase in PyNTP levels with an IC50 of 0.26 μM. Brequinar sodium effectively inhibits cell proliferation with
体内研究(In Vivo)
Brequinar sodium-treated (10-20 mg/kg/day) mice has a 31% reduction in percentage of packed cell volume compared with untreated BALB/c mice. Brequinar sodium reduces UTP and CTP levels in bone marrow cells by 30 and 25%, respectively. Brequinar sodium (10-20 mg/kg/day) in combination with uridine (1000-2000 mg/kg/day) prevents anemia, and the hematocrits remain at levels (61-63%) comparable with those of untreated controls. has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
