Abstract

Tilorone hydrochloride, at a concentration of 10 μg/ml inhibits the growth of herpes simplex virus type I in BS C I cells. The growth of vaccinia virus in BS C I cells is partially inhibited; however, 6 viruses containing RNA, including 4 members of the togavirus group grown in chick fibroblasts, are not affected by the drug. The inhibiton of the growth of herpes virus by tilorone hydrochloride is greater when the multiplicity of infection is lower than I p.f.u./cell and when the drug is added early in the course of infection.
