Inhibition of Junin virus multiplication by caffeine

The inhibitory activity of caffeine, a pharmacologically active compound, on Junin virus (JV) multiplication in Veto cells was evaluated by a virus yield inhibition assay. The compound achieved a dose-dependent inhibition of virus production at concentrations not affecting cell viability. The 50% in...
