“…Pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) is a synthetic compound, which is largely used as antioxidant or nuclear factor kappa B (NF-B) inhibitor (Morais et al, 2010;Wiesener et al, 2011;Yucel et al, 2013). Previous studies have shown that PDTC could inhibit the replication of coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3), rhinovirus, influenza virus, and herpes simplex virus (Krenn et al, 2005;Qiu et al, 2013;Si et al, 2005;Uchide and Ohyama, 2003;Uchide et al, 2002;Wiesener et al, 2011), while the precise mechanism involved in the antiviral activity of PDTC has not been elucidated.…”
