Inhibition of Dengue Virus by Targeting Viral NS4B Protein
25 Aug 2011
Abstract excerpt
We report a novel inhibitor that selectively suppresses dengue virus (DENV) by targeting viral NS4B protein. The inhibitor was identified by screening a 1.8-million-compound library using a luciferase replicon of DENV serotype 2 (DENV-2). The compound specifically inhibits all four serotypes of DENV (50% effective concentration [EC(50)], 1 to 4 μM; and 50% cytotoxic concentration [CC(50)], >40 μM), but it does...
