Emetine hydrochloride (316-42-7) is one of the active ingredients of ipecac root extract, used as an emetic.1 Induces apoptosis in breast cancer cells via inhibition of Wnt/β-catenin signaling.2 Inhibits Zika and Ebola virus in vitro and in vivo, targeting viral entry and replication by inhibiting viral RNA polymerase and host lysosomal function.3 Also inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication in cells (EC50 for viral load reduction is 0.46 μM).4 A useful agent for inhibiting protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells by virtue of its inhibition of the ribosome 40S subunit.5
