Antiviral and Virucidal Activities of Camptothecin on Fowl Adenovirus Serotype 4 by Blocking Virus Replication.

ABSTRACT: Fowl adenovirus serotype 4 (FAdV-4) caused hepatitis-hydropericardium syndrome in poultry and caused huge economic losses to the poultry industry. At present, antiviral drugs have not been reported to be effective against this virus, and new treatment methods are urgently needed to treat FAdV-4. Camptothecin has been shown to have antiviral activity against various viruses; however, whether it can inhibit FAdV-4 infection remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the anti-FAdV-4 effects and mechanisms of camptothecin in vitro and in vivo. Several camptothecin treatments were used to study the antiviral activity of camptothecin on FAdV-4-infected Leghorn male hepatocellular (LMH) cells. The FAdV-4 titers of mock and camptothecin-treated infected cell cultures were determine
