Abstract
IT is a well-known fact that certain structurally different chemicals inhibit the synthesis of viral RNA1–3. In this communication a few substances which inhibit virus multiplication are described. These are the following: 2-(β-aminoethyl) pyridine (AEP), its substituted derivatives; the 2-pyridyl-ethyl-guanidine sulphate (Pyg)4, the 2 - (5 - allyl - 3 - methoxy - 2 - hydroxy - benzyl) - β - (α - pyridyl) ethyl amine (H-99)5 and ‘Ismelin’ 2-octahydro-1-azocynil ethyl guanidine sulphate4. Guanidine hydrochloride was used as control.
