[The antiviral activity of diphenyl derivatives in different model systems].

In experiments on two model systems L929/VSV and RF/ HSV-1 in vitro we have studied the antiviral activity of new structural analogues of tilorone--4,4'-bis[2-(diethyl-amino)ethoxy]diphenyl dihydrochloride and 2-methoxy-carbonyl-4-4'-bis[2-(diethylamino)ethoxy]diphenyl dihydrochloride. In experiments the tested substances were administered in preventive and therapeutic schemes. The preventive scheme confirms the existence of a correlation between IFN production under the influence of tested substances and their antiviral activity.
