| Comments | The most active molecules (19 and 20), which also inhibit the syncytium formation induced by infectious NiV and show a low cytotoxicity in Vero cells, represent a promising lead quinolone-type compound structure. Molecular modeling indicated that compound 19 fits well into a particular protein cavity present on the NiV F protein that is important for the fusion process. |
