Aucubin, an iridoid glycoside was found to suppress hepatitis B virus DNA replication in vitro in a 2.2.15 cell culture system. Aucubin itself did not exhibit antiviral activity, but it showed significant activity when preincubated with β€-glucosidase. Aucubin possesses no cytotoxicity at a broad ran

Various 2,3'-anhydro analogs of 5-substituted 1-(2-deoxy-Ξ²-d-lyxofuranosyl)uracils (10-15) and a related 1-(3-O-mesyl-2-deoxy-Ξ²-d-lyxofuranosyl) pyrimidine nucleoside analog (18) have been synthesized for evaluation as a new class of potential anti-HBV agents. The compounds 10, 12, and 15 demonstrat
More effective and better-tolerated therapies are needed for chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Among the direct-acting anti-HCV agents in development is the nonstructural 5B protein (NS5B polymerase) non-nucleoside inhibitor filibuvir. We investigated the antiviral activity, pharmacokinetic
Induction of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) inhibits hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication. Of the products of the reaction catalyzed by HO-1, iron has been shown to inhibit HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) polymerase, but little is known about the antiviral activity of biliverdin (BV). Herein, we report that BV i
