N4-Hydroxycytidine and Inhibitors of Dihydroorotate Dehydrogenase Synergistically Suppress SARS-CoV-2 Replication
2022-01-25
Abstract excerpt
SARS-CoV-2 incorporates the nucleoside analogue N4-hydroxycytidine (NHC) into its RNA through the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp). NHC is the active metabolite of the prodrug Molnupiravir (MK-4482), which has recently been approved in the United Kingdom (UK) for the treatment of COVID-19. Likewise, inhibitors of dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH), by reducing the cellular synthesis of pyrimidines, also reduc...
