Ebola research
In June 2015 a research paper was published finding bepridil to result in a 100% survival rate for mice exposed to ebola during an experiment searching for potential pharmaceutical ebola treatments; indicating its potential use in future ebola research and therapy.

SARS-CoV-2 research
A research paper showed that Bepridil inhibited cytopathogenic effects induced by SARS-CoV-2 in Vero E6 cells and in A549 cells in an in vitro assay.
