Abstract
Viral infections are continually emerging with new characteristics and the potential to cause outbreaks or pandemics. Therefore, identification of new antiviral compounds is extremely necessary for therapeutic. This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro action of host defense peptides against Human alphaherpesvirus 1 (HHV-1) replication. Vero cell monolayers were infected with HHV-1 TCID50 and treated with different concentrations of IDR-1018 and DJK-6. The cell viability was evaluated by MTT method. Time of addition assays were performed to infer the effect of peptides upon the viral replicative cycle. IDR-1018 and DJK-6 were able to inhibit the HHV-1 replication in maximum nontoxic concentrations. However, IDR-1018 presented higher potency and a better safety profile. In addition, IDR-1018 probably inhibits adhesion, entry and post entry of virus infection. DJK-6 seems to be capable of interfering with virus entry and viral biosynthesis.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal for Peptide Research & Therapeutics is an international, peer-reviewed journal focusing on issues, research, and integration of knowledge on the latest developments in peptide therapeutics. The Journal brings together in a single source the most exciting work in peptide research, including isolation, structural characterization, synthesis and biological activity of peptides, and thereby aids in the development of unifying concepts from diverse perspectives. The Journal invites substantial contributions in the following thematic areas:
-New advances in peptide drug delivery systems.
-Application of peptide therapeutics to specific diseases.
-New advances in synthetic methods.
-The development of new procedures for construction of peptide libraries and methodology for screening of such mixtures.
-The use of peptides in the study of enzyme specificity and mechanism, receptor binding and antibody/antigen interactions
-Applications of such techniques as chromatography, electrophoresis, NMR and X-ray crystallography, mass spectrometry.
