Abstract

N-chloro compounds were synthesized and their virus inactivating activity and probable mechanism of the action were investigated. It is likely that the N-chloro compounds oxidize the sulfhydryl groups of the viral protein coat to form disulfide, disulfoxide, and sulfinic acid resulting in inactivation of the virus. This action is nonspecific and irreversible, and is lost in the presence of serum proteins.
