NVC-422 is a N-chlorotaurine analog, virucidal agent, antibacterial agent. NVC-422 exhibits virucidal activity against Ad5 by the oxidative inactivation of key viral proteins (fiber and hexon), leading to the loss of viral integrity and infectivity. NVC-422 is shown to be highly effective in killing all microbial strains tested, including antibiotic-resistant S. aureus and E. faecium. NVC-422 can be used in the research of adenoviral conjunctivitis [1] [2].
