Title: Teicoplanin inhibits Ebola pseudovirus infection in cell culture Cord-id: t6ogxz7n Document date: 2015_11_14
ID: t6ogxz7n
Snippet: There is currently no approved antiviral therapy for treatment of Ebola virus disease. To discover readily available approved drugs that can be rapidly repurposed for treatment of Ebola virus infections, we screened 1280 FDA-approved drugs and identified glycopeptide antibiotic teicoplanin inhibiting Ebola pseudovirus infection by blocking virus entry in the low micromolar range. Teicoplanin could be evaluated further and incorporated into ongoing clinical studies.
