Antiviral activity of trimeric 2',5'-oligoadenylic acid and some of its analogues

The authors have studied the antiviral effect of 2',5'-trioligoadenylate and of its derivatives using several model cell culture systems and viruses: L929 murinc fibroblast cells infected by vaccine virus, established testicular piglet cells inoculated by Aueszki disease virus (ADV) (strain BUK-628), and the same culture infected with Purdue-115 strain (reference strains of transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV)). So, it is possible to suppose that both 2',5'-trioligoadenylate and its derivative are perspective antiviral preparations acting against DNA- and RNA-containing viruses.
