| Bioactivity | Camostat mesylate (Camostat mesilate) is an orally active, synthetic serine protease inhibitor for chronic pancreatitis. Camostat mesylate, an inhibitor of TMPRSS2, shows antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2. Camostat mesylate also inhibits the activity of prostasin, trypsin, and matriptase[1][2][3]. |
| Invitro | Camostat mesylate (Camostat mesilate) inhibits both monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and TNF-α production from monocytes, and proliferation and MCP-1 production from PSCs[1].Camostat mesylate, a trypsin-like protease inhibitor, provides a potent (IC50=50 nM) and prolongs attenuation of ENaC function in human airway epithelial cell models that is reversible upon the addition of excess trypsin[3]. |
| In Vivo | Camostat mesilate (30 mg/kg; p.o.; twice a day for 9 days) blocks the spread and pathogenesis of SARS-CoV in a pathogenic mouse model[4]. Animal Model: |
