With regard to the antiviral mode of action, time-of-addition studies suggested that 8e blocks the viral entry process, since optimal anti-influenza virus activity was obtained when the compound was added to MDCK cells 30 min prior to or simultaneously with virus infection. ./cache/cord-285856-0sw3wt1i.txt ./txt/cord-285856-0sw3wt1i.txt
