BL-20803 induced interferon in mice when administered via oral or parenteral routes. During multiple dosing with the drug at 48-h intervals, animals exhibited a hyporesponsive state to the third treatment. Inhibition of vaccinia virus infection was correlated with interferon induction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
