Abstract

Selective inhibition of regulatory immediate early (IE) genes of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) should inhibit virus growth. Treatment of HSV-1-infected cells with the oligo(nucleoside methylphosphonate) d(TpCCTCCTG) (deoxynucleoside methylphosphonate residues in italic), which is complementary to the acceptor splice junction of HSV-1 IE pre-mRNA 4 and 5, before (1-24 hr) or at the time of infection caused a dose-dependent inhibition in virus replication. Virus titers were decreased 50% and 90% in cells treated with 25 microM and 75 microM oligomer, respectively; at 300 microM, a 99% reduction in virus production was observed. Viral DNA synthesis was reduced 70-75% and there was a 90% reduction in synthesis of viral proteins, including other IE species and viral functional (130-kDa major DNA-binding) and structural (glycoprotein gB) proteins. In the same concentration range, d(TpCCTCCTG) caused a minimal reduction (0-30%) in protein synthesis and growth rates (less than 40%) of uninfected cells. The data suggest that oligo(nucleoside methylphosphonate)s may be effective in antiviral chemotherapy.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
