In vitro activities of benzimidazole D- and L-ribonucleosides against herpesviruses.
Herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2), varicella-zoster virus (VZV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6), and human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) are responsible for a number of clinical manifestations in both normal and immunocompromised individuals. The parent benzimidazole ribonucleosides evaluated in this series, 2-bromo-5,6-dichloro-1-(beta-D...
متن کاملActivities of benzimidazole D- and L-ribonucleosides in animal models of cytomegalovirus infections.
Since human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) does not infect or replicate in nonhuman cells and tissues, there are few animal models currently available for evaluation of antiviral therapies for these infections. In the present studies, we utilized two different models in which severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice were implanted with human fetal tissue that was subsequently infected with HCMV. In ...
متن کاملComparative activities of lipid esters of cidofovir and cyclic cidofovir against replication of herpesviruses in vitro.
Cidofovir (CDV) is an effective therapy for certain human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infections in immunocompromised patients that are resistant to other antiviral drugs, but the compound is not active orally. To improve oral bioavailability, a series of lipid analogs of CDV and cyclic CDV (cCDV), including hexadecyloxypropyl-CDV and -cCDV and octadecyloxyethyl-CDV and -cCDV, were synthesized and f...
متن کاملSynthesis of Imidazo[4,5-b]quinoxaline Ribonucleosides as Linear Dimensional Analogs of Antiviral Polyhalogenated Benzimidazole Ribonucleosides
Wehave recently found that 2,5,6-trichloroH~-D-ribofuranosyl)benzimidazole(TCRB) and the corresponding 2-bromo analog have better in vitro activities against HCMV than the clinically used agents ganciclovir and foscarnet, These benzimidazole nucleosides act by a unique mechanism, however, their biological target has not been completely identified. As an approach to probing the target, we have d...
متن کاملIn vitro activities of garlic essential oil against Candida species
Pathogenic Candida species are widely distributed in human and animal hosts. Accordingly, they account for 88% of nosocomial fungal infections and are the fourth cause of hospital-acquired blood infections. Fresh Garlic (Allium sativum) contains a sulfur compound that is composed of an amino acid (cysteine) called Alliin. The compounds in garlic are divided into two groups of sulfur and nonsulf...
