| Zhang et al. (2020) | Japanese Encephalitis Virus (JEV) |
a) The researchers built a Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) encoding an eGFP reporter gene containing a fluorescent protein-coding sequence b) The stability of the eGFP-JEV produced was tested against C6/36 Aedes albopictus cells c) Assays evaluating antiviral activity were performed in eGFP-JEV gene-infected Huh7 cells with the test compound NITD008 and other substances (including nitroxoline). |
(a) Nitroxoline exhibited high antiviral activity against Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), denoted by EC50 = 2.482 μM |
