Biological Activity for Probenecid

Probenecid is an inhibitor of multidrug resistance-associated proteins (MRP). Probenicid inhibits OAT3, organic acid transport in the kidney and other organs and exhibits inhibitory activity against pannexin 1 channels (IC₅₀ ~ 150 μM). Probenecid potently inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication in NHBE and Vero E6 cells (IC₅₀= 1.3 nM and 750 nM, respectively) and reduces lung virus titers in vivo. Probenicid also inhibits influenza A virus replication in vitro and in vivo.
