N-(4-chlorobenzyl)triflupromazinium chloride, a known antitubercular agent, has been found to also be active against HSV-1. A preliminary structure-activity relation has been explored to determine which groups are crucial to viral inhibition. Antiviral assessments such as GFP reduction, plaque reduction, treatment timing and wash-out studies have also been probed to determine a mode of action for QPD-1. Based on this preliminary data, it appears that QPD-1 is a reversible inhibitor, suspected to inhibit early stages of viral replication of HSV-1 at 50 mu M, equipotent to acyclovir.
