Antiviral chemotherapeutic agents against respiratory viruses: where are we now and what's in the pipeline?
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome in late 2002 and the recent outbreaks of avian influenza in Asia are timely reminders of the ever present risks from respiratory viral diseases. Apart from influenza, there are no vaccines and very few antiviral chemotherapeutic agents available for the prevention and treatment of respiratory viral infections-the most common c...
متن کاملBioinformatics prediction of siRNAs as potential antiviral agents against dengue viruses
Dengue virus (DENV 1-4) represents the major emerging arthropod-borne viral infection in the world. Currently, there is neither an available vaccine nor a specific treatment. Hence, there is a need of antiviral drugs for these viral infections; we describe the prediction of short interfering RNA (siRNA) as potential therapeutic agents against the four DENV serotypes. Our strategy was to carry o...
متن کاملEnhancement 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 کاملA novel peptide with potent and broad-spectrum antiviral activities against multiple respiratory viruses
A safe, potent and broad-spectrum antiviral is urgently needed to combat emerging respiratory viruses. In light of the broad antiviral activity of β-defensins, we tested the antiviral activity of 11 peptides derived from mouse β-defensin-4 and found that a short peptide, P9, exhibited potent and broad-spectrum antiviral effects against multiple respiratory viruses in vitro and in vivo, includin...
متن کاملAntiviral activity of aspirin against RNA viruses of the respiratory tract—an in vitro study
AIM Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) has been used for more than 115 years in medicine. Research exists to show that aspirin has antiviral effects in vitro, for example, by blocking influenza virus propagation via NF-κB inhibition when used at high concentrations and short-term incubation steps. The aim of this study was to confirm the antiviral activity of aspirin against influenza virus and fur...
