Inhibition of pyrimidine biosynthesis pathway suppresses viral growth through innate immunity.
Searching for stimulators of the innate antiviral response is an appealing approach to develop novel therapeutics against viral infections. Here, we established a cell-based reporter assay to identify compounds stimulating expression of interferon-inducible antiviral genes. DD264 was selected out of...

Searching for stimulators of the innate antiviral response is an appealing approach to develop novel therapeutics against viral infections.

While searching for its mode of action, we identified DD264 as an inhibitor of pyrimidine biosynthesis pathway. This metabolic pathway was recently identified as a prime target of broad-spectrum antiviral molecules, but our data unraveled a yet unsuspected link with innate immunity.
