It is established that drugs targeting viral proteins are at risk of generating resistant strains. However, drugs targeting host factors can potentially avoid this problem. Herein we report structure-activity relationship studies leading to the discovery of a very potent lead compound 6-fluoro-2-(5-isopropyl-2-methyl-4-phenoxyphenyl)quinoline-4-carboxylic acid (<b>C44</b>) that inhibits human dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) with an IC<sub>50</sub> of 1 nM, and viral replication of VSV and W ...[more]
