                                        Comment: Emvododstat (PTC299) is an orally bioavailable inhibitor of  dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) that was developed by PTC Therapeutics [1] for anti-cancer potential. It inhibits de novo pyrimidine nucleotide (UMP) biosynthesis and exhibits broad activity against leukemia in vitro and in vivo. SARS-CoV-2: Emvododstat inhibits replication of SARS-CoV-2 in vitro (EC50 2.0-31.6 nM) and other RNA viruses [2]. It blocks production of inflammatory cytokines in infected cell cultures. |
