Poly(amidoamine)s (PAAs) are multifunctional tert-amine polymers endowed with high structural versatility. Here we report on the screening of a minilibrary of PAAs against a panel of viruses. The PAA AGMA1 showed antiviral activity against herpes simplex virus, human cytomegalovirus, human papillomavirus 16, and respiratory syncytial virus but not against human rotavirus and vesicular stomatitis virus. The results suggest the contribution of both a polycationic nature and side guanidine groups in imparting antiviral activity.

Abstract

Poly(amidoamine)s (PAAs) are multifunctional tert-amine polymers endowed with high structural versatility. Here we report on the screening of a minilibrary of PAAs against a panel of viruses. The PAA AGMA1 showed antiviral activity against herpes simplex virus, human cytomegalovirus, human papillomavirus 16, and respiratory syncytial virus but not against human rotavirus and vesicular stomatitis virus. The results suggest the contribution of both a polycationic nature and side guanidine groups in imparting antiviral activity.
