| abstract |
The present invention provides inhibitors of viral replication, and methods related thereto. In general, such compounds can be classified as peptidyl fluoromethylketones (PFMKs). The PFMK compounds may be used to partially or completely inhibit viral infection. In certain embodiments, Z-FA-FMK may be used to inhibit replication of a reovirus, such as a wild-type or attenuated reovirus, or a leporipoxvirus, such as myxoma virus. These compounds may be useful for controlling viral infectivity in vivo and/or in vitro. |
