Popis: Alphaviruses are positive-strand RNA viruses causing febrile disease. Macrodomain-containing proteins, involved in ADP-ribose-mediated signaling, are encoded by both host cells and several virus groups, including alphaviruses. In this study, compound MRS 2578 that targets the human ADP-ribose glycohydrolase MacroD1 inhibited Semliki Forest virus production as well as viral RNA replication and replicase protein expression. The inhibitor was similarly active in alphavirus trans-replication systems, indicating that it targets the viral RNA replication stage.
