Abstract

The 2,3-dihydroxy-6-bromo-pyrazino-[2,3-beta]-pyrazine is a substance selected during the antiviral screening of pyrazino-pyrazine derivatives. The compound shows antiviral activity in vitro against measles, NDV, some influenza viruses and against herpes simplex and zoster, infectious canine hepatitis and vaccinia viruses. It had no effect on ECHO 9 virus. Therapeutic trials showed activity also on herpetic keratoconjunctivitis experimentally induced in rabbits.
