The activity of native Tyr (81.2 U/mg) was determined by the dopachrome assay following the oxidation of L-tyrosine at 475 nm (the enzyme unit is defined as the increase in absorbance of 10 À3 unit/min at 25°C in 0.1 M phosphate buffer, pH 7.0). In particular, compound 3b was added at different times on VERO cells infected with 0.1 MOI of HSV-1, to determine the inhibition of the virus yield during specific periods in the virus life-cycle. ./cache/cord-296326-8oes5g6k.txt ./txt/cord-296326-8oes5g6k.txt
