Smp76, a Scorpine-Like Peptide Isolated from the Venom of the Scorpion Scorpio maurus palmatus, with a Potent Antiviral Activity Against Hepatitis C Virus and Dengue Virus	2019-07-06		.txt	text/plain	5247	296	53	title: Smp76, a Scorpine-Like Peptide Isolated from the Venom of the Scorpion Scorpio maurus palmatus, with a Potent Antiviral Activity Against Hepatitis C Virus and Dengue Virus Smp76 antiviral activity was evaluated using a cell culture technique utilizing Huh7it-1, Vero/SLAM, HCV (JFH1, genotype 2a) and DENV (Trinidad 1751, type 2). For dengue virus infectivity, serially diluted venom fractions and Smp76 were mixed with fixed amount of DENV and incubated for 2 h at 37 °C. The above results suggest that the Smp76 directly affects HCV particles and/or host cells in the culture medium to inhibit the viral infection and does not have an antiviral effect in the cells. To determine whether the antiviral activity of Smp76 peptide (previously described) was specific to HCV and DENV, a Schematic of infection assay. The exact mechanism by which Smp76 exerts its antiviral activity against HCV and DENV to inhibit infecting their target cells need further studies.	./cache/cord-011026-iapgkz0p.txt	./txt/cord-011026-iapgkz0p.txt
