- TGF-β1 inhibitor [8].
- Topoisomerase I and II inhibitor [9].
- Interleukin-1 (IL-1) inhibitor [10].
- Interleukin-4 (IL-4) inhibitor [11].
- G protein inhibitor [12].
- P2X and P2Y purinergic receptor antagonist [13].
- Antiangiogenic. Potent VEGF inhibitor [14, 15].
- Telomerase inhibitor [17].
- Shows adjuvant properties [18].
- Regulates ryanodine receptor [19].
- Direct adenylyl cyclase inhibitor [20].
- Protein synthesis inhibitor [21].
- SIRT1 (sirtuin 1) and SIRT5 (sirtuin 5) inhibitor [22, 23].
- Immunosuppressive [24].
- Antifibrotic agent [25].
- Antiparasitic. Antiprotozoal. Athelmintic [26].
- Cullin-RING E3 ubiquitin ligase inhibitor [27].
- Inhibitor of the STING pathway via the inhibition of cGAMP synthase (cGAS) enzymatic activity.
- Inhibits SARS-CoV-2 infection in cell culture by blocking early steps (binding/fusion) of the replication cycle. Potentially binds and inhibits nsp12 of SARS-CoV-2, binding to motifs harbouring the RNA-dependent RNA polymerases (RdRps) activity.
