UPGL00004 is an inhibitor of glutaminase C (GAC; IC50 = 29 nM).1 It reduces the proliferation of MDA-MB-231, Hs 578T, and TSE breast cancer cells (IC50s = 70, 129, and 262 nM, respectively). UPGL00004 (0.1 µM) also inhibits replication of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and human coronavirus OC43 (HCoV-OC43) in Vero and primary human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs), respectively.2
