Inhibition of herpes simplex virus type-1 multiplication by meliacine, a peptide of plant origin

Meliacine, a peptide isolated from leaves of Melia azedarach L., exhibited potent activity against herpes simplex type 1 (HSV-1). The in vitro selective indices for pre- and post-treatment were 937.5 and 2500, respectively. Analysis of early events following infection showed that meliacine did not a...
