Zotatifin is a highly selective inhibitor of eIF4A, targeting the assembly of the eIF4F initiation complex. With an IC50 of 2 nM, it promotes eIF4A binding to specific mRNA recognition motifs in the 5’-UTRs. Zotatifin exhibits significant antiviral properties, effectively reducing the infectivity of SARS-CoV-2 by inhibiting the biogenesis of its NP protein (IC90 = 37 nM) and also induces apoptosis in cancer cells. This compound is valuable for studies related to viral infections and translational control mechanisms.
