Antiviral effect of trimeric 2',5'-oligoadenylic acid and some of its analogues

New Microbiol. 1998 Apr;21(2):141-6.

Abstract

The antiviral effect of 2',5'-trioligoadenylate (2',5'-A3) and some of its analogues was studied using several model cell culture systems and viruses: mice L929 fibroblast cells inoculated with vaccine virus, testicular piglet cells inoculated with Aueszki disease virus (strain BUK-628), and the same culture inoculated with a reference strain of transmissible gastroenteritis virus, strain Purdue-115. Our results suggest that both 2',5'-trioligoadenylate and its analogues are promising antiviral substances against DNA- and RNA-containing viruses.
