CTC 96 is an antiviral agent, showing inhibitory effects particularly on herpes viruses and adenoviruses. CTC 96 directly blocks the fusion process between the viral envelope and the cell membrane, preventing the entry of viral nucleic acids and proteins into the cells. CTC 96 can completely block the penetration and intercellular transmission of HSV-1, preventing the synthesis of viral proteins and mRNA. CTC 96 exhibits significant anti-adenovirus activity in rabbit eye models. CTC 96 is also effective against varicella-zoster virus (VZV) and vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). CTC 96 can be used for broad-spectrum antiviral research.
