  • Publication number: 20260183277
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an antiviral pharmaceutical composition including an estrogen-related receptor ? (ERR?) inhibitor as an active ingredient. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, an antiviral pharmaceutical composition containing an ERR? inhibitor as an active ingredient has antiviral effects. In particular, the antiviral pharmaceutical composition is effective in preventing or treating RNA virus infections. Specifically, the ERR? inhibitor, especially an ERR? inverse agonist, may exhibit broad-spectrum antiviral effects by inhibiting ERR? activity in RNA virus-infected cells, thereby blocking fatty acid biosynthesis mediated by sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1c (SREBP1c).
