Activity of Pleconaril against Enteroviruses

TL;DR: Pleconaril represents a promising new drug candidate for potential use in the treatment of human enteroviral infections and dramatically reduced virus levels in target tissues of coxsackievirus serotype B3 strain M-infected animals.
Journal ArticleDOI

The structure of coxsackievirus B3 at 3.5 å resolution

TL;DR: The canyon and twofold depression, major surface depressions, are predicted to be the primary and secondary receptor-binding sites on CVB3, respectively and the ions located on the icosahedral threefold and fivefold axes together with the pocket factor may contribute to the pH stability of the coxsackieviruses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Efficacy and Safety of Oral Pleconaril for Treatment of Colds Due to Picornaviruses in Adults: Results of 2 Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trials

TL;DR: Early pleconaril treatment was well tolerated and significantly reduced the duration and severity of colds due to picornaviruses in adults, and was associated with a higher incidence of nausea and diarrhea, and with small increases in mean serum cholesterol levels and platelet counts, compared with baseline measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI

The structure of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase from bovine viral diarrhea virus establishes the role of GTP in de novo initiation.

TL;DR: The structure of BVDV polymerase complexed with GTP, which is required for de novo (primer-independent) initiation, shows that GTP binds adjacent to the initiation NTP, suggesting that the GTP mimics aigial RNA product.
