Abstract
New adamantane derivatives with short peptides were synthesized and their in vitro antiviral activity against hepatitis C virus (HCV) was studied. Experiments in pig embryo kidney cells (PEKC) showed that 1-(1-adamantyl)ethylamine derivatives with tri- and tetrapeptide residues were able to suppress HCV replication. Furthermore, this class of compounds was shown to have direct actions on the infective properties of hepatitis C virions (virucidal activity).
