Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) is an antioxidant that is widely used in foods because it prevents spoilage by delaying degradation of lipid components. This hydrophobic compound inactivated human and murine cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Semliki Forest virus (SFV). Both human and murine CMV were inactivated more than 90% by 40 microgram of BHT/ml after incubation for 1 hr at 37 C. Under the same conditions, SVF was inactivated about 75%, whereas poliovirus, which does not contain lipid membrane as a part of its structure, was not inactivated at all. Vaccinia virus was less sensitive to BHT than was CMV or SFV.
