disoxaril

Disoxaril is a synthetic small molecule antiviral agent belonging to the phenol ether class. It was developed as an inhibitor of human picornaviruses, including rhinoviruses and enteroviruses. Disoxaril acts by binding to a hydrophobic pocket within the viral VP1 capsid protein, thereby preventing the structural transitions required for viral uncoating and inhibiting viral replication. The compound has been studied primarily in experimental settings and is not approved for clinical use[1][2]. Its primary molecular target is the genome polyprotein of picornaviruses.
