The Importance of Glycans of Viral and Host Proteins in Enveloped Virus Infection

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Animal viruses are parasites of animal cells that have characteristics such as heredity and replication. Viruses can be divided into non-enveloped and enveloped viruses if a lipid bilayer membrane surrounds them or not.

New pharmacological strategies to fight enveloped viruses. [PDF]

, 2014
Enveloped viruses pose an important health threat because most of the persistent and many emerging viruses are enveloped. In particular, newly emerging viruses create a need to develop broad-spectrum antivirals, which usually are obtained by targeting ...

Ethanol is indispensable for virucidal hand antisepsis: memorandum from the alcohol-based hand rub (ABHR) Task Force, WHO Collaborating Centre on Patient Safety, and the Commission for Hospital Hygiene and Infection Prevention (KRINKO), Robert Koch Institute, Berlin, Germany

Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control, 2022
Background The approval of ethanol by the Biocidal Products Regulation has been under evaluation since 2007. This follows concern over alcohol uptake from ethanol-based hand rubs (EBHR).

Diphyllin Shows a Broad-Spectrum Antiviral Activity against Multiple Medically Important Enveloped RNA and DNA Viruses [PDF]

, 2022
Diphyllin is a natural arylnaphtalide lignan extracted from tropical plants of particular importance in traditional Chinese medicine. This compound has been described as a potent inhibitor of vacuolar (H+)ATPases and hence of the endosomal acidification ...

Cetylpyridinium Chloride-Containing Mouthwashes Show Virucidal Activity against Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1

Viruses, 2023
The oral cavity is particularly susceptible to viral infections that are self-recovering in most cases. However, complications may appear in severe cases and/or immunocompromised subjects. Cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC)-containing mouthwashes are able to

Enveloped Viruses [PDF]

, 2003
A distinguishing physical feature of many viruses is the presence of a host-derived lipid bilayer. This feature of the virus particle has important consequences for the assembly and release as well as the entry pathway for a particular virus. Significant

Broad-Spectrum, Potent, and Durable Ceria Nanoparticles Inactivate RNA Virus Infectivity by Targeting Virion Surfaces and Disrupting Virus–Receptor Interactions

Molecules, 2023
There is intense interest in developing long-lasting, potent, and broad-spectrum antiviral disinfectants. Ceria nanoparticles (CNPs) can undergo surface redox reactions (Ce3+ ↔ Ce4+) to generate ROS without requiring an external driving force.
