Clomiphene and Its Isomers Block Ebola Virus Particle Entry and Infection with Similar Potency: Potential Therapeutic Implications 2016-08-02 .txt text/plain 5047 249 52 In this system, 4-hydroxy-zuclomiphene appeared more potent than the Our previous findings indicated that clomiphene blocks EBOV infection by blocking entry of viral particles into the cell cytoplasm [20, 29] ; this effect appears to be at the level of fusion between the membrane of the viral particle and the limiting membrane of an Niemann-Pick disease, type C1 positive (NPC1 + ) endolysosome, the site of EBOV fusion [30] [31] [32] . Similar results were seen when comparing eight doses of clomiphene and zuclomiphene in trVLP infection ( Figure 5A ) and VLP entry ( Figure 5B ) assays. Where tested, they were equally effective to each other in two cell types and for entry mediated by three filoviral GPs. 4-hydroxy-enclomiphene, and 4-hydroxy-zuclomiphene also blocked EBOV trVLP infection and VLP entry under the ./cache/cord-002185-oz7hras7.txt ./txt/cord-002185-oz7hras7.txt
