ABSTRACT:
Described herein are oligopeptides useful to inhibit replication of herpesviruses, especially herpes simplex viruses. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the oligopeptide is a D-arginine nonamer having N- and C-terminal protecting groups, which, at a 5 uM concentration, exhibits greater than 95% inhibition of HSV-1 replication, in a standard assay.
