  • Cullin-RING E3 ubiquitin ligase inhibitor [29].
  • Inhibitor of the STING pathway via the inhibition of cGAMP synthase (cGAS) enzymatic activity [32].
  • 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 [34, 36].
  • Inhibits several dsDNA-binding proteins, including cGAS (inhibiting cGAS-STING and TLR9 mediated inflammatory responses), Mcm1040 and DNA topoisomerase II, and most recently also the AIM2 inflammasome. Effective inhibitor of dsDNA-induced inflammation [38].
