Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2003 Sep 1;13(17):2929-32. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(03)00586-9.

Abstract

Bis-(aryl)thioureas were found to be potent and selective inhibitors of cytomegalovirus (CMV) in cultured HFF cells. Of these, the thiazole analogue 38 was investigated as a potential development candidate.
