Description:
AM-001, a small-molecule EPAC1 (exchange protein directly activated by cAMP) inhibitor, showed potent in vitro antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2 and influenza A in cultured cells. In Vero E6 cells, AM-001 reduced SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA and infectious titres with IC₅₀ ≈ 355–388 nM and in human lung Calu-3 cells with IC₅₀ ≈ 147–167 nM, achieving ~10⁴-fold suppression at 20 µM without cytotoxicity (CC₅₀ > 40 µM; selectivity index >100). AM-001 also inhibited influenza A replication in Calu-3 cells with IC₅₀ ~1 µM. These effects reflect host-targeted EPAC1 inhibition rather than direct virucidal action. No in vivo animal model data were included in the study’s antiviral evaluation.
Handling:
Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance,
we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one
month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at
least 1 hour.
