Apilimod (hydrochloride)
Apilimod (STA 5326) hydrochloride is a PIKFYVE kinase inhibitor that promotes NLRP3 inflammatory vesicle activation and IL-1β secretion. Apilimod hydrochloride has been shown to inhibit host cell proteases, which may prevent viral invasion but also block antiviral immune responses, potentially exacerbating immunosuppression in COVID-19.
