Antiviral 1,3,4-thiadiazoles. II. Effects on cellular and viral RNA synthesis in Mengo-virus-infected FL cells. 1976

M Tonew

Three antiviral 1,3,4-thiadiazoles caused, when incubated together with 3H-uridine, a reduction of the incorporation rate into acid-insoluble material of FL cells. Using the method of prelabelling cellular RNA synthesis was not remarkably influenced. However, the substances tested act as specific inhibitors of the virus-induced RNA synthesis.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008574	Mengovirus	A strain of ENCEPHALOMYOCARDITIS VIRUS, a species of CARDIOVIRUS, isolated from rodents and lagomorphs and occasionally causing febrile illness in man.	Mengo Virus,Virus, Mengo
D003609	Dactinomycin	A compound composed of a two CYCLIC PEPTIDES attached to a phenoxazine that is derived from STREPTOMYCES parvullus. It binds to DNA and inhibits RNA synthesis (transcription), with chain elongation more sensitive than initiation, termination, or release. As a result of impaired mRNA production, protein synthesis also declines after dactinomycin therapy.

D000998	Antiviral Agents	Agents used in the prophylaxis or therapy of VIRUS DISEASES. Some of the ways they may act include preventing viral replication by inhibiting viral DNA polymerase; binding to specific cell-surface receptors and inhibiting viral penetration or uncoating; inhibiting viral protein synthesis; or blocking late stages of virus assembly.

D012313	RNA	A polynucleotide consisting essentially of chains with a repeating backbone of phosphate and ribose units to which nitrogenous bases are attached. RNA is unique among biological macromolecules in that it can encode genetic information, serve as an abundant structural component of cells, and also possesses catalytic activity.

D013830	Thiadiazoles	Heterocyclic compounds composed of a five-membered heterocyclic ring which contains one sulfur and two nitrogen atoms.	Thiadiazole
D014529	Uridine	A ribonucleoside in which RIBOSE is linked to URACIL.	Allo-Uridine,Allouridine,Allo Uridine
