Background:

Taribavirin is an inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase inhibitor, has activity against a wide range of viruses, especially the hepatitis C virus and influenza virus[1].Taribavirin, is a ribavirin prodrug, is designed to concentrate within the liver to target HCV-infected hepatocytes while minimizing distribution within red blood cells (RBCs) and the development of hemolytic anemia[2].

Taribavirin (0-2 μM; 24 hours) significantly induces MCF-7 cell death, recording half inhibitory effect (IC50) of 0.756 μM in MCF-7 cells[1]. Cell Viability Assay[1] Cell Line: MCF-7 cells
