Although EV infections commonly cause mild or non- symptomatic illness, some of them are associated with severe diseases such as CNS complications. The current absence of effective vaccines for most viral infection and no available antiviral drugs for the treatment of EVs highlight the urgency and significance of developing antiviral agents. Several key steps in the viral life cycle are potential targets for blocking viral replication. This article reviews recent studies of antiviral developments for EVs based on various molecular targets that interrupt viral attach- ment, viral translation, polyprotein processing and RNA replication. Keywords: capsid proteins, viral proteases, viral RNA replication, 50 untranslated region Introduction EVs such as echovirus 6, 9 and 30 and CVB5 were the most common causes of aseptic meningitis in children.4 EV70 and Enteroviruses (EVs) are a common cause of infections in CVA24 were associated with acute haemorrhagic conjunctivitis.4 humans, especially children. -
The Treatment of Herpes Simplex Virus Epithelial Keratitis
THE TREATMENT OF HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS EPITHELIAL KERATITIS BY Kirk R. Wilhelmus, MD, MPH ABSTRACT Purpose: Epithelial keratitis is the most common presentation of ocular infection by herpes simplex virus (HSV). Quantitative assessment of available therapy is needed to guide evidence-based ophthalmology. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of various treatments for dendritic or geographic HSV epithelial keratitis and to evaluate the role of various clinical characteristics on epithelial healing. Methods: Following a systematic review of the literature, information from clinical trials of HSV dendritic or geographic epithelial keratitis was extracted, and the methodological quality of each study was scored. Methods of epithelial cau- terization and curettage were grouped as relatively equivalent physicochemical therapy, and solution and ointment for- mulations of a given topical antiviral agent were combined. The proportion healed with 1 week of therapy, a scheduled follow-up day that approximated the average time of resolution with antiviral therapy, was selected as the primary out- come based on a masked evaluation of maximum treatment differences in published healing curves. The proportion healed at 14 days was recorded as supplemental information. Fixed-effects and random-effects meta-analysis models were used to obtain summary estimates by pooling results from comparative treatment trials. Hypotheses about which prognostic factors might affect epithelial healing during antiviral therapy were developed by multivariate analysis of the Herpetic Eye Disease Study dataset. Results: After excluding 48 duplicate reports, 14 nonrandomized studies, 15 studies with outdated or similar treatments, and 29 trials lacking sufficient data on healing or accessibility, 76 primary reports were identified. -

And Ritonavir-Boosted HIV Protease Inhibitors
16 February 2012 EMA/CHMP/117973/2012 EMEA/H/C/002332/II/0004 Questions and answers on drug interactions between Victrelis (boceprevir) and ritonavir-boosted HIV protease inhibitors The European Medicines Agency has recommended changes to the prescribing information for Victrelis (boceprevir), a medicine used to treat hepatitis C, after a drug interaction study identified interactions between Victrelis and medicines used to treat HIV called ritonavir-boosted HIV protease inhibitors. These interactions could potentially reduce the effectiveness of these medicines if used together in patients being treated for both hepatitis C and HIV. The Agency’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) has recommended the changes to ensure doctors are informed of these interactions while further data are awaited to assess the clinical impact of these drug interaction findings on these patients. What is Victrelis? Victrelis is a medicine used to treat long-term hepatitis C genotype 1 (a disease of the liver due to infection with the hepatitis C virus) in adults with compensated liver disease who have not been treated before or whose previous treatment has failed. Compensated liver disease is when the liver is damaged but is still able to work normally. Victrelis is given in combination with two other medicines, peginterferon alfa and ribavirin. The active substance in Victrelis, boceprevir, is a protease inhibitor which blocks an enzyme called HCV NS3 protease found on the hepatitis C genotype 1 virus. Victrelis was authorised in the EU in July 2011. What is the issue with Victrelis? In January 2012, the EMA was informed of the results of a study in healthy volunteers which identified drug interactions between Victrelis and the antiviral medicines atazanavir, darunavir and lopinavir, which are used to treat HIV. -

Table of Contents Telaprevir Incivek Summary Drug Summary Adverse Effects Class and Mechanism Manufacturer for United States FDA Status Indications Dosing Clinical Use Cost and Medication Access Resistance Key Drug Interactions Full Prescribing Information Figures Drug Summary Although telaprevir was a promising direct-acting antiviral agent that had impact in the hepatitis C treatment field during 2011 to 2013, it was subsequently replaced by newer direct-acting antiviral agents that were more effective, better tolerated, and more convenient. Based on the dwindling role of telaprevir after newer direct-acting antiviral agents were approved, Vertex pharmaceuticals discontinued the sales and distribution of telaprevir in the United States in October 2014. Telaprevir does have some current importance since persons who previously failed a telaprevir-based regimen may have developed resistant associated variants, which could potentially impact subsequent therapy. Adverse Effects The most significant adverse effects reported in the main registration trials and in post-marketing experience were rash, anorectal complaints, and anemia. When comparing triple therapy of telaprevir, peginterferon, and ribavirin with dual therapy of peginterferon and ribavirin alone significant differences were noted with rash (56% versus 34%), anemia (36% versus 17%), and anorectal complaints that include anorectal discomfort, anal pruritus, and hemorrhoids (29% versus 7%). In most cases, the rash that develops is eczematous or maculopapular in character and mild to moderate in severity; the rash is typically manageable with good skin care and topical emollients or corticosteroids. In some instances, however, telaprevir has caused serious skin Page 1/5 rashes, including Steven's Johnson Syndrome (SJS), Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS), and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN). -

At the time of writing, there are no approved drugs for effective antiviral treatment for Coxsackieviruses type B. We used the core-structure of pleconaril, a well-known antienteroviral drug candidate, for the synthesis of novel compounds with O-propyl linker modifications. Some original compounds with 4 different linker patterns, such as sulfur atom, ester, amide, and piperazine, were synthesized according to five synthetic schemes. The cytotoxicity and bioactivity of 14 target compounds towards Coxsackievirus B3 Nancy were examined. Based on the results, the values of 50% cytotoxic dose (CC50), 50% virus-inhibiting dose (IC50), and selectivity index (SI) were calculated for each compound. Several of the novel synthesized derivatives exhibited a strong anti-CVB3 activity (SI > 20 to > 200). -

The US Cutaneous Lymphoma Consortium, to improve clinical care of patients with SS and encourage controlled clinical trials of promising treatments, undertook a review of the published literature on therapeutic options for SS. An overview of the immunopathogenesis and standardized review of potential current treatment options for SS including metabolism, mechanism of action, overall efficacy in mycosis fungoides and SS, and common or concerning adverse effects is first discussed. The specific efficacy of each treatment for SS, both as monotherapy and combination therapy, is then reported using standardized criteria for both SS and response to therapy with the type of study defined by a modification of the US Preventive Services guidelines for evidence-based medicine. -

Global Dermatology Research Article ISSN: 2056-7863 Efficacy and safety of imiquimod for verruca planae: A systematic review Xin-rui Zhang#, Bi-huan Xiao#, Rui-qun Qi*, and Xing-hua Gao* Department of Dermatology, No 1 Hospital of China Medical University, Shenyang 110001, PR China #These authors contributed equally to this work Abstract Objective: To assess the efficacy and safety of imiquimod for treating verruca planae. Methods: We searched the Pubmed, Cochrane Register of Controlled Trials, EMbase, CBM, CNKI and Wanfang databases (Chinese) to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs). We screened the retrieved studies according to the predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, evaluated the quality of include studies, and performed meta-analyses using the Cochrane Collaboration’s RevMan 5.1. Software. Results: Twenty-six RCTs involving 2169 patients with verruca planae were included and assessed. At the end of the 6th and ≥8th week, the effective rate of topical imiquimod was obviously higher than that of control [ RR=1.42, 95%CI (1.27, 1.60), P <0.00001; RR=1.43, 95%CI (1.22,1.67), P<0.00001]. The effective rate of imiquimod cream was higher than tretinoin cream, tazarotene gel and other antiviral drugs. [RR=1.41, 95%CI (1.25, 1.59), P <0.00001; RR=1.76, 95%CI (1.48, 2.10), P<0.00001; RR=1.71, 95%CI (1.29, 2.26), P =0.0002]. However, the effectiverate of imiquimod cream was lower than 5-ALA-PDT (RR=0.6, 95%CI (0.5, 0.71), P<0.00001). Conclusions: The limited evidence demonstrates that topical imiquimod is safe and efficient.
