Tilorone
Tilorone is an orally active antiviral agent and interferon inducer that also has potential antineoplastic, immunomodulatory, and metabolic modulating effects. Tilorone induces an abnormally delayed interferon response and primarily stimulates interferon production in lymphoid tissue. Thus, Tilorone exerts antiviral effects and can be used as a chemotherapeutic agent. Tilorone has the potential to inhibit type 2 diabetes by increasing glucose uptake in vivo and in skeletal muscle cells by enhancing Akt2/AS160 signaling and glucose transporter levels[1][2][3][4][5].
