Molecular docking study of anti-viral FDA-approved drugs as novel entry and replication Ebola viral inhibitors
Background & Objective: Because of the reported high ability of virulence and the lack of appropriate drug of Ebola virus during the last decades, many investigations have been accomplished regarding discovery and the introduction of anti-Ebola drugs. The aim of this research was the bioinformatical study of entry and replication of Ebola viral inhibition by drug repurposing. Materials & Method...
متن کاملIFITM Proteins Restrict Viral Membrane Hemifusion
The interferon-inducible transmembrane (IFITM) protein family represents a new class of cellular restriction factors that block early stages of viral replication; the underlying mechanism is currently not known. Here we provide evidence that IFITM proteins restrict membrane fusion induced by representatives of all three classes of viral membrane fusion proteins. IFITM1 profoundly suppressed syn...
متن کاملHepatitis C Viral Entry Inhibitors Prolong Viral Suppression by Replication Inhibitors in Persistently-Infected Huh7 Cultures
Efforts to treat HCV patients are focused on developing antiviral combinations that lead to the eradication of infection. Thus, it is important to identify optimal combinations from the various viral inhibitor classes. Based on viral dynamic models, HCV entry inhibitors are predicted to reduce viral load in a monophasic manner reflecting the slow death rate of infected hepatocytes (t1/2 = 2-70 ...
متن کاملIFITM-2 and IFITM-3 but not IFITM-1 restrict Rift Valley fever virus.
We show that interferon-induced transmembrane protein 1 (IFITM-1), IFITM-2, and IFITM-3 exhibit a broad spectrum of antiviral activity against several members of the Bunyaviridae family, including Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV), La Crosse virus, Andes virus, and Hantaan virus, all of which can cause severe disease in humans and animals. We found that RVFV was restricted by IFITM-2 and -3 but no...
متن کاملNovel Small-Molecule Inhibitors of Hepatitis C Virus Entry Block Viral Spread and Promote Viral Clearance in Cell Culture
Combinations of direct-acting anti-virals offer the potential to improve the efficacy, tolerability and duration of the current treatment regimen for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Viral entry represents a distinct therapeutic target that has been validated clinically for a number of pathogenic viruses. To discover novel inhibitors of HCV entry, we conducted a high throughput screen of a pr...
