Table 1. List of antiviral compounds and concentrations used.

High concentration was defined as the highest non-toxic dose tested based on dose/viability studies in Figure 1. Low concentration represents the value two dilution steps below respective high concentration. A possible mechanism of action for each compound is included; additional mechanisms may also exist.
