Activity  [Ref.36739680]Peptides 8 at 200 μM exhibited good inhibitions of DENV-1 (70.19%) plaque formation, but much lower inhibitions were observed against DENV-2 to 4 ranging from 28.31 to 37.73%; Peptides 8 showed highly significant inhibitions of DENV-4 plaque formation (80.31–83.92%), but lower inhibitions were observed against DENV-1 to 3 (5.34–55.46%); Peptide 8 was observed to inhibit DENV-4 replications significantly with reductions of RNA copy numbers by 73.42%.
