Sirtuin Inhibitors Are Broadly Antiviral against Arboviruses
ABSTRACT Arthropod-borne viruses are diverse pathogens and are often associated with human disease. These viruses span multiple genera, including flaviviruses, alphaviruses, and bunyaviruses. In a high-throughput drug screen, we found that tenovin-1 was antiviral against the flaviviruses Zika virus...
