S5020 Tilorone dihydrochloride Tilorone dihydrochloride is a broad-spectrum, orally active antiviral agent that activates interferon production. It has antitumor, anti-inflammatory properties.
S1537 Vadimezan (DMXAA) Vadimezan (DMXAA) is a vascular disrupting agents (VDA) and competitive inhibitor of DT-diaphorase with Ki of 20 μM and IC50 of 62.5 μM in cell-free assays, respectively. It is also a STING agonist with potential antineoplastic activity, potently inducing IFN-β but relatively low TNF-α expression in vitro. This compound has antiviral activity. Phase 3.
