A lipid-peptide microbicide inactivates herpes simplex virus.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A microbicide combining the lipid-ether 1-0-octyl-sn-glycerol (OG; 3 mM) and peptide D2A21 (9 microM) reduced herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and HSV-2 titers by at least 1,000-fold, more than the sum of the inactivations produced by OG and D2A21 alone. OG plus D2A21 reduced HSV-1 and HSV-2 titers by > or =1,000-fold in < or =10 and < or =20 min, respectively, whereas OG and D2A21 used alone produced almost no virus inactivation during these times.

The acidic vaginal milieu is presumed to inactivate pathogens but is neutralized by semen. This notion fostered the development of acid-buffering products, such as ACIDFORM (developed by Program for Topical Prevention of Conception and Disease, Rush University, and licensed by Instead), as microbicides. However, the extent and mechanism of protective activity provided by buffering gels is not k...

PD 404,182 (PD) is a synthetic compound that was found to compromise HIV integrity via interaction with a nonenvelope protein viral structural component (A. M. Chamoun et al., Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 56:672-681, 2012). The present study evaluates the potential of PD as an anti-HIV microbicide and establishes PD's virucidal activity toward another pathogen, herpes simplex virus (HSV). We s...

Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) with a worldwide distribution has been reported in all human populations, resulting in a clinical spectrum of infections. Although HSV type 2 (HSV-2) is known as the most common cause of genital herpes, an increasing number of cases with genital herpes are caused by HSV-1. The present study aimed to discuss the changes in the epidemiology of HSV-1 infection i...
