Description
An oxysterol; suppresses endogenous cholesterol synthesis by preventing SREBP transport to the Golgi; inhibits IgA class switching induced by LPS and various cytokines in B cells (IC50 = ~50 nM); inhibits replication of SARS-CoV-2 in Vero cells (EC50 = 3.675 µM); reduces viral RNA loads in the lung and trachea in a mouse model of SARS-CoV-2 infection at 100 mg/kg per day; serum levels are increased in hACE2 mice in a model of SARS-CoV-2 infection and in a patient with COVID-19
