CMX001 (1- O -Hexadecyloxypropyl-Cidofovir) Inhibits Polyomavirus JC Replication in Human Brain Progenitor-Derived Astrocytes
15 Mar 2011
Abstract excerpt
Polyomavirus JC (JCV) replication causes progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), a frequently fatal brain disease in immunodeficient patients, yet antiviral drugs are lacking. We characterized the lipid conjugate 1-O-hexadecyloxypropyl-cidofovir (CMX001) regarding JCV (Mad-4) replication in human brain progenitor-derived astrocytes (PDA) and the simian virus 40 (SV40) large-T-antigen-expressing COS-7...
