Thesis
Targeting host cell processing glucosidase activity as a potential strategy for reducing viral replication
- Abstract:
-
The anti-viral efficacy of N-butyl-deoxynojirimycin (NB-DNJ, Miglustat, Zavesca) against a broad spectrum of viruses including bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is attributed to the disruption of viral envelope glycoprotein formation through the inhibition of the host ER alpha(α)-glucosidase activity. The DNJ-derived compound, N-(6'-4"-azido-2"-nitrophenylamino) hexyl-1-deoxynojirimycin (NAP-DNJ) is a more potent ER α-glucos...
