The picornavirus replication inhibitors HBB and guanidine in the echovirus-9 system: the significance of viral protein 2C
1 Apr 2000
Abstract excerpt
HBB [2-(alpha-hydroxybenzyl)-benzimidazole] and guanidine are potent inhibitors of picornavirus replication. Among other evidence, limited cross-resistance and a synergistic effect of both inhibitors suggest similar but not identical mechanisms of antiviral action. Echovirus-9 variants resistant to each of these drugs were characterized and sequenced. Complete resistance to HBB or guanidine was shown to be due to...
