Biological Activity

Description
Carmofur (HCFU) is a potent inhibitor of rat recombinant acid ceramidase, with an IC50 value of 29 nM. Beyond its role in inhibiting acid ceramidase, Carmofur functions as a protease inhibitor for the SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro), fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), and N-acylethanolamine acid amidase (NAAA). This multifunctional inhibitor displays anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and anti-viral properties, making it valuable for research related to COVID-19 and acute lung injury (ALI)[1].[2].[3].
