On the inhibitory effect of 2-amino-4,6-dichloropyrimidine on growth of vaccinia virus.

2-Amino-4,6-dichloropyrimidine prevents maturation of Vaccinia virus. Proteins synthesized in the presence of the drug are not assembled into virions.     

Mitostatic action of 4,6-dimethyl-2-amino-3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl-pyrimidine on mammalian cells

Summary 4, 6 dimethyl-2-amino-3, 4, 5-trimethoxyphenylpyrimidine arrests the mitotic cycle of mammalian cells in metaphase, both in vitro and in vivo. The mitostatic effect is promptly reverted by interruption of drug treatment.     

Enhancement of virus growth produced by thiols and disulphides.

Several thiols and disulphides have been found able both to shorten the latency phase and to increase the growth of several virus strains in cell cultures.     

On the inhibitory effect of 2-amino-4,6-dichloropyrimidine on growth of Vaccinia virus

Summary 2-Amino-4,6-dichloropyrimidine prevents mutation of Vaccinia virus. Proteins synthesized in the presence of the drug are not assembled into virions.This work has been supported by a special grant of Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (virus Project) Rome, Italy.
