title: Antiviral activity of 2-amino-4,4alpha-dihydro-4alpha-7-dimethyl-3H-phenoxazine-3-one on poliovirus.
abstract: 2-Amino-4,4alpha-dihydro-4alpha-7-dimethyl-3H-phenoxazine-3-one (Phx), which was produced by the reaction of bovine hemoglobin with 2-amino-5-methylphenol, inhibited the proliferation of poliovirus in Vero cells between 0.25 microg/ml and 2 microg/ml with maximal antiviral acitivity at 1 microg/ml. These results suggest that Phx may be useful to prevent the proliferation of poliovirus infection.
