Antipicornavirus activity of substituted phenoxybenzenes and phenoxypyridines

Abstract
Phenoxybenzenes and phenoxypyridines were prepared and tested for the effect of substituents on antipicornavirus activity. The most active compound, 2-(3,4-dichlorophenoxy)-5-nitrobenzonitrile (8), demonstrated broad-spectrum antipicornavirus activity. Compound 8 and several analogues each given orally prior to and during infection protected mice against an othewise lethal challenge with coxsackievirus A21.
