In this work, several ribavirin analogues were synthesized and incorporated into a multivalent arrangement. Both were subsequently modified by the addition of polyhydroxylated residues. Their antiviral activity was tested against Junín virus, etiological agent responsible of Argentine hemorrhagic fever. Some compounds inhibited Junín virus in the range of 13.2-389.1 µM. Two modified ribavirin analogues presented an effective concentration comparable to ribavirin but with a higher selectivity index.

D000072283 A549 Cells An immortalized cell line derived from human ADENOCARCINOMA, ALVEOLAR basal epithelial cells isolated from the lungs of a male patient in 1972. The cell line is positive for KERATIN, can synthesize LECITHIN, and contains high levels of POLYUNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS in its PLASMA MEMBRANE. It is used as a model for PULMONARY ALVEOLI function and virus infections, as a TRANSFECTION host, and for PRECLINICAL DRUG EVALUATION.

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.
