Amylmetacresol

Overview

Amylmetacresol is a phenolic compound with topical antibacterial and antiviral activity. Amylmetacresol works by destroying the protein structure of the virus surface or interfering with the function of the virus lipid membrane. Amylmetacresol inhibits the attachment and replication of respiratory viruses such as human Rhinovirus 1a and influenza virus A , without significant effect on viruses such as HRV8 . Amylmetacresol is mainly applied topically to the throat to relieve viral sore throats. Amylmetacresol is more active against enveloped viruses than non-enveloped viruses.
