Tilorone (dihydrochloride)

Tilorone dihydrochloride is an orally active interferon (IFN) inducer with broad-spectrum antiviral activities. Tilorone dihydrochloride possesses robust anti-Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) activity in vitro and in vivo through stimulation of host innate immunity. Tilorone dihydrochloride can penetrate the blood-brain barrier to activate HIF in the CNS[1][2][3].Tilorone dihydrochloride exhibits an inhibitory activity with EC50 of 230 nM against Ebola virus (EBOV) [4].
