Disease relevance of Isatoribine

 

High impact information on Isatoribine

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Isatoribine

  • Interferon induction appears to be the reason for antiviral activity in this model, since up to 10,000 units of interferon/ml were induced in mice 1 h after treatment with 100 mg 7-thia-8-oxoguanosine per kg, and antibody to interferon alpha/beta administered shortly after treatment with the nucleoside negated the antiviral effect [8].
