Pleconaril is an antipicornaviral agent.{52019, 52020} It inhibits Picornaviridae viral replication by binding to a hydrophobic pocket in the major VP1 capsid protein, which prevents uncoating of the viral RNA genome. Pleconaril inhibits replication of the rhinoviruses HRV-A2 and HRV-B14 in HeLa Rh cells (EC50s = 0.1 and 0.3 ?M, respectively) and is not cytotoxic to HeLa Rh cells with a 50% cytotoxic concentration (CC50) of greater than 131 ?M.{52020} It also inhibits replication of enterovirus 71 (EV71) in human rhabdomyosarcoma (RD) cells (EC50 = 15 ?M) and is not cytotoxic to RD cells (CC50 = >131 ?M). Pleconaril (80 mg/kg per day) increases survival of EV71-infected mouse pups from 20 to 80%.{52021}
