J. Guillon et al., SYNTHESIS AND ANTI-HSV-1 ACTIVITY OF NEW 3-AMINO-3-ARYLPROPIONIC ACID-ESTERS, Antiviral chemistry & chemotherapy, 7(1), 1996, pp. 1-6
A number of 3-methylbut-2-enyl esters of various 3-amino-3-arylpropion
ic acids have been synthesized and tested for antiviral activity again
st HSV-1. Many of these compounds, analogues of the 3-methylbut-2-enyl
caffeate, isolated from poplar buds, show marked anti-HSV-1 activity
and are less toxic than the natural ester.
