INHIBITORS OF LONG AND VERY LONG CHAIN FATTY ACID METABOLISM AS BROAD SPECTRUM ANTI-VIRALS

摘要

The present invention provides methods and compounds for treating viral infections using modulators of host cell enzymes relating to long chain fatty acid and lipid droplet metabolism. It includes a method of treating viral infections using triacsin C and its relatives, analogues and derivatives as well as other inhibitors of long chain fatty acid metabolism and lipid droplet metabolism.
