Niclosamide
Kinase (STAT3) signaling inhibitor; Autophagy modulator. Regulates mTORC1 pathway, whose members interact with SARS-CoV-2 N and Orf8 proteins; reduces replication of related coronavirus MERS-CoV via SKP2 inhibition. Gassen et al. Nat.

Niclosamide reversibly inhibits mTORC1 signaling and stimulates autophagy (1). This compound inhibits activation and nuclear translocation of STAT3 selectively over STAT1 and STAT5. It also inhibits transcription of STAT3 target genes and induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in cells with constitutively active STAT3 (2).
