Enhancement of activity against influenza viruses by combinations of antiviral agents.
In an investigation of alternative therapeutic approaches for the treatment of influenza virus infections, the antiviral activities of rimantadine hydrochloride, amantadine hydrochloride, ribavirin, and combinations of these drugs were assessed in vitro. Madin-Darby canine kidney cell monolayers were inoculated with recent isolates of influenza viruses at low multiplicities of infection, and vi...
متن کاملPrediction of antiviral peptides derived from viral fusion proteins potentially active against herpes simplex and influenza A viruses
There are very few antiviral drugs available to fight viral infections and the appearance of viral strains resistant to these antivirals is not a rare event. Hence, the design of new antiviral drugs is important. We describe the prediction of peptides with antiviral activity (AVP) derived from the viral glycoproteins involved in the entrance of herpes simplex (HSV) and influenza A viruses into ...
متن کاملAntiviral Response in Pandemic Influenza Viruses
The outcome of viral infections depends on a complex set of interactions between the viruses and their hosts. Particularly, viral infection triggers specific signaling programs within the infected cells that results in substantial changes in host gene expression. While some of these changes might be beneficial for viral replication, others represent the induction of a host antiviral response. I...
متن کاملStrain-specific antiviral activity of iminosugars against human influenza A viruses
OBJECTIVES Drugs that target host cell processes can be employed to complement drugs that specifically target viruses, and iminosugar compounds that inhibit host α-glucosidases have been reported to show antiviral activity against multiple viruses. Here the effect and mechanism of two iminosugar α-glucosidase inhibitors, N-butyl-deoxynojirimycin (NB-DNJ) and N-nonyl-deoxynojirimycin (NN-DNJ), o...
متن کاملIFN-stimulated gene 15 functions as a critical antiviral molecule against influenza, herpes, and Sindbis viruses.
Type I interferons (IFNs) play an essential role in the host response to viral infection through the induction of numerous IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs), including important antiviral molecules such as PKR, RNase L, Mx, and iNOS. Yet, additional antiviral ISGs likely exist. IFN-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15) is a ubiquitin homolog that is rapidly up-regulated after viral infection, and it conjugates ...
