“…In the present paper, we provide experimental evidence that complexes of the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1) OBP with the viral replication origins, two OriS sites and one OriL site, serve as perspective targets for suppression of the diseases caused by HSV1. Previous studies showed that bis-linked netropsin derivatives effectively suppress development of virus-induced cytopathic effect in the cultured cells ( Andronova et al, 2008 ; Andronova, Grokhovsky, Surovaya, Gursky, & Galegov, 2001 , 2004 ; Lown et al, 1989 ). They also exert therapeutic effects on laboratory animals infected by HSV1 ( Andronova et al, 2012 ; Andronova, Grokhovsky, Surovaya, Gursky, & Galegov, 2007 ).…”
