Repositioning salicylanilide anthelmintic drugs to treat adenovirus infections 2019-01-09 .txt text/plain 5099 267 47 Data suggests that the studied salicylanilide anthelmintic drugs could be suitable for further clinical evaluation for the development of new antiviral drugs to treat infections by adenovirus in immunosuppressed patients and in immunocompetent individuals with community-acquired pneumonia. The three salicylanilide anthelmintic drugs showed a dose-dependent anti-HAdV activity against both HAdV5 and HAdV16, with 100% inhibition of plaques formation at 1.25, 5 and 2.5 μM for NIC, OXY and RAF, respectively ( Fig. 2a,b) . The CC 50 values for these molecules were in all cases significantly higher than the IC 50 concentrations required for inhibition in our antiviral activity and mechanistic assays for both 293β5 cells (Table 1 ) and A549 cells (22.9 ± 9.8 µM, 76.1 ± 14.4 µM and 80.6 ± 34.7 µM for NIC, OXY and RAF, respectively). The aim of this study was to evaluate the anti-HAdV activity of NIC, a salicylanilide anthelmintic drug of human use to set the basis for its further experimental and clinical development as a potential new treatment for HAdV infections. ./cache/cord-342782-xty16m8w.txt ./txt/cord-342782-xty16m8w.txt
