چکیده

The Effect of hydroxy isothiocyanates on a bacterial virus and M13 DNA was examined. Hydroxy-substituted phenyl and phenyl alkyl isothiocyanates, especially 2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)ethyl isothiocyanate(IT-Dop) synthesized from dopamine, showed antiviral activity on psiK. In transfection experiments with M13 mp DNA species, IT-Dop inhibited the single-stranded (SS) molecule more effectively than the double stranded replicative form (RF) DNA. These effects were dependent on reaction time, and on IT-Dop concentration. An additional experiment indicated that treatment with IT-Dop suppressed annealing (reassociation) of denatured DNA. These results indicate that IT-Dop reacts mildly with virus and SS DNA.

Paradoxical effect of synthetic hydroxy isothiocyanates on antimicrobial action of aminoglycosides.

Hydroxy isothiocyanates, especially 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl isothiocyanate (hITC), were examined for antimicrobial synergism with streptomycin (SM) against Escherichia coli. On the course of those experiments, a peculiar suppression of SM by a low concentration of hITC was observed, besides the antibacterial synergism of hITC with SM. Further, bactericidal activity of SM in physiological salin...

Expression of HA1 antigen of H5N1 influenza virus as a potent candidate for vaccine in bacterial system

The impending influenza virus pandemic requires global vaccination to prevent large-scale mortality and morbidity, but traditional influenza virus vaccine production is too slow for rapid responses. In this study, bacterial system has been developed for expression and purification of properly folded HA1 antigen as a rapid response to emerging pandemic strains. Here, a recombinant H5N1 (A/Indone...
