Debrisoquine is a derivative ofguanidine. It is anantihypertensive drug similar toguanethidine. Debrisoquine is frequently used forphenotyping theCYP2D6 enzyme, a drug-metabolizing enzyme.[2]
Debrisoquine has been identified as a inhibitor ofTMPRSS2 protease, which is involved in theviral entry process ofSARS-CoV-2. In a laboratory study, it showed antiviral activity by blocking the ability of the virus to enter human lung cells.[3]
Theguanidine part of the molecule also appears inguanoxan andguanadrel.[citation needed] The 7-bromo analog of debrisoquine is calledguanisoquin.[citation needed]
