 Use of Emetine hydrochloride


Emetine hydrochloride, derived from the ipecac root, is a potent anti-protozoal and emetic agent. Emetine hydrochloride inhibits viral polymerases and inhibits Zika and Ebola virus infections. Emetine hydrochloride potently inhibits autophagy and has anti-malarial, anti-bacterial and anti-amoebic effect[1][2][3][4].

In Vitro Emetine hydrochloride accumulates SQSTM1 and MAP1LC3B in SNB-19 cells, indicating autophagy is blocked[1]. Emetine hydrochloride dose-dependently decreases NS1 protein level in HEK293 cells infected with the African prototype, ZIKV MR766 (IC50=52.9 nM). Emetine hydrochloride directly inhibits ZIKV NS5 RNA polymerase activity with an IC50 of 121 nM[1]. Cell Autophagy Assay[1] Cell Line: SNB-19 cells Concentration: 25, 50, 100, 200 nM Incubation Time: For 24 hours Result: Showed the accumulation of SQSTM1 and MAP1LC3B, indicating autophagy was blocked.
In Vivo Emetine hydrochloride (1, 2 mg/kg/day; IP; for 3 days) significantly reduces the serum viral load of ZIKV infected Ifnar1−/− mice[1]. Emetine hydrochloride (1 mg/kg/day; retro-orbital injection; for six days) reduces the levels of circulating ZIKV approximately 10-fold in three-month-old female SJL mice with ZIKVBR[1]. Emetine (0.002, 0.02, 0.2, 2 mg/kg/day; i.p.) not only attenuates blood glucose levels in dose-dependent way but also induces a persistent attenuation of blood glucose levels in C57Bl/6 male mice (20-25 g) [2]. Animal Model: Ifnar1−/− mice[1] Dosage: 1, 2 mg/kg Administration: IP; once daily for 3 days Result: Significantly reduced the serum viral load of ZIKV infected Ifnar1−/− mice.
