Antiviral effect of brassinosteroids against herpes virus and arenaviruses

A natural brassinosteroid and a series of synthetic derivatives were found to be good inhibitors of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and arenavirus replication in cell culture. The synthetic compounds tested were analogues of the 24(S) ethylbrassinone. Compounds (22R,23R,24S)-2α, 3α,5α,22,23-pent...

The antiviral activity of brassinosteroid derivatives was not because of direct inactivation; time-of-addition experiments suggested that a late step in HSV-1 multiplication was affected, whereas arenaviruses remained susceptible to the compounds throughout the replicative cycle.
