4-Hydroxy-3-methylpiperidine

CAS: 33557-57-2

4-Hydroxy-3-methylpiperidine (4HMPD) is a heterocyclic compound that has shown to be a potent inhibitor of influenza virus. 4HMPD can be used as a drug to treat influenza in humans because it has the ability to inhibit the replication of human influenza viruses and is not toxic to humans. 4HMPD targets the influenza virus by binding to the viral nucleoprotein and inhibiting its function. The molecular structure of 4HMPD is similar to that of piperidine, which is an amino acid found in proteins. This similarity may help explain why 4HMPD inhibits influenza virus replication because amino acids are necessary for protein synthesis.
