Anti-herpes simplex virus activity of n-docosanol correlates with intracellular metabolic conversion of the drug
The 22-carbon fatty alcohol, n-docosanol, exhibits in vitro antiviral activity against several lipid-enveloped viruses including herpes simplex viruses 1 and 2 by a mechanism that interferes with normal viral entry into target cells. We previously reported that mammalian cells incorporate significan...
