title: Antiviral activity of aryl-furfurane derivatives.
abstract: Of 27 aryl-furfurane derivatives (AFD) studied, 13 compounds were found to have antiviral activity against ECHO 6, herpes simplex, vaccinia, and influenza A/Hong Kong/1/68 (H3N2) viruses, the highest inhibition being observed with ECHO 6 virus. The maximum tolerated concentrations (MaTC) of AFD inhibited the macromolecular syntheses in ECHO 6 virus-infected cell cultures.
