Activity Information


Target Organism  HSV-1

Assay  Plaque-forming assay

Activity 

  • [Ref.37342565]herpes simplex virus 1(HSV-1): WL-1 significantly inhibited the replication of HSV-1 on Vero cells(10 μM concentration with a 50% antiviral activity).

Hemolytic Activity  No hemolysis information or data found in the reference(s) presented in this entry

Cytotoxicity 

  • [Ref.37342565]WL-1 did not exert toxic effects on neuronal cell (U251) and epithelial cell (Vero) up to 50 μM concentration.

Binding Target  virus replication

Mechanism  WL-1 may damage the viral membrane envelope or inhibit HSV-1 adsorption to cells, or perhaps participates in the regulation of the viral replication cycle and inflammatory response caused by viral infection.
