CID 23631927

Adaprolol is a beta-adrenergic antagonist. Enantiomers of Adaprolol may be used in the treatment of Glaucoma or other ailments of the eye.

Oxocarbazate, also known as CID23631927, is an inhibitor of human cathepsin L. In the cathepsin L inhibition assay, The oxocarbazate caused a time-dependent 17-fold drop in IC50 from 6.9 nM (no preincubation) to 0.4 nM (4-h preincubation). Slowly reversible inhibition was demonstrated in a dilution assay. CID23631927 demonstrate activity in blocking both SARS-CoV (IC50 = 273 nM) and Ebola virus (IC50 = 193 nM) entry into human embryonic. CID 23631927 was a subnanomolar, slow-binding, reversible inhibitor of human cathepsin L that blocked SARS-CoV and Ebola pseudotype virus entry in human cells. Inhibition of cathepsin L thus holds promise for therapeutic intervention for both SARS-CoV and Ebola virus infection.
