15-Acetoxyscirpenol, a member of the acetoxyscirpenol moiety mycotoxins (ASMs), potently induces apoptosis and inhibits the growth of Jurkat T cells in a dose-dependent manner. This effect is mediated through the activation of caspases independent of caspase-3[1].
Diacetoxyscirpenol, a trichothecene mycotoxin, is a secondary metabolite product of fungi. Diacetoxyscirpenol consumption induces hematological disorders in humans and animals.
Grazoprevir is a drug approved for the treatment of hepatitis C. Grazoprevir is a second-generation hepatitis C virus protease inhibitor acting at the NS3 4a protease targets.
Eprociclovir potassium is a new acyclovir analogue and a potent inhibitor of EHV1 replication and may have potential for the treatment and or prophylaxis of infections with this virus. Eprociclovir possess potent anti-herpetic activity against most human herpesviruses. A-5021 proved to be about 15-fold more potent than acyclovir in inhibiting viral replication. Eprociclovir inhibits murine herpetic keratitis. A-5021 eyedrops, which are easily applied onto the affected cornea, ameliorated clinical scores and suppressed virus growth. Eprociclovir is a promising alternative treatment of herpetic keratitis.
