Newly developed assay systems reveal CDK8 inhibitors’ antiviral effects on multiple viruses, suggesting promising applications.

CDK8 inhibitors demonstrate potent antiherpesviral activity against several viruses and host cell types.
The efficacy of CDK8 inhibitors varied significantly, showing strong effects on specific viruses like cytomegaloviruses.
Customized assay systems were developed to evaluate the antiviral potential of CDK8 inhibitors against diverse viral strains.
Findings indicate that CDK8 has multiple roles in viral replication, highlighting its potential as an antiviral target.

Obergfäll et al. (2025) studied this question.
