Antiviral effect of a synthetic brassinosteroid on the replication of vesicular stomatitis virus in Vero cells.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The antiviral mode of action of the synthetic brassinosteroid (22S,23S)-3beta-bromo-5alpha,22,23-trihydroxystigmastan-6-one (6b) against replication of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) in Vero cells was investigated. Time-related experiments showed that 6b mainly affects a late event of the virus growth cycle. Virus adsorption, internalisation and early RNA synthesis are not the target of the inhibitory action. Results obtained indicate that the antiviral compound adversely affects virus protein synthesis and viral mature particle formation.

In vitro antiviral activity of dehydroepiandrosterone and its synthetic derivatives against vesicular stomatitis virus.
In this work the antiviral activity of 20 dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) analogs with different substituents at positions C-3, C-15, C-16 and C-17 were evaluated against vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) in Vero cell cultures. The selectivity indexes (SI) obtained with DHEA and epiandrosterone (EA) were 50 and 72.6, respectively. The work showed that the compounds 21-norpregna-5,17(20)-dien-3beta...
