Cationic amphiphilic drugs enhance entry of lentiviral particles pseudotyped with rabies virus glycoprotein into non-neuronal cells

摘要

Amiodarone and other cationic amphiphilic drugs (CADs) inhibit cell entry by diverse human pathogenic viruses including Filoviruses, Dengue virus and Japanese encephalitis virus. They are thus considered potential broad spectrum antiviral agents.
