Evaluation of Sofosbuvir (β-D-2′-deoxy-2′-α-fluoro-2′-β-C-methyluridine) as an inhibitor of Dengue virus replication #

Abstract We evaluated Sofosbuvir (SOF), the anti-hepatitis C virus prodrug of β-d-2′-deoxy-2′-α-fluoro-2′-β-C-methyluridine-5′-monophosphate, for potential inhibitory activity against DENV replication. Both cell-based and biochemical assays, based on use of purified DENV full-length NS5 enzyme, were...
