Implication

No immediate clinical implications; leaves open whether HBB derivatives merit in vivo antiviral development.

Structured PICO

P
Population
In vitro models (chorioallantoic membrane and monkey kidney cells) infected with influenza B and polio type 2 viruses
I
Intervention
Benzimidazole, benzotriazole, and naphthimidazole derivatives (65 compounds, including 2-(alpha-hydroxybenzyl)-benzimidazole [HBB])
C
Comparator
Benzimidazole (reference compound) and untreated controls
O
Outcome
Virus inhibitory activity (inhibition of virus multiplication and cytopathic effects)surrogate

HBB and its derivatives demonstrate selective antiviral activity against poliovirus type 2 in vitro without significant cellular toxicity.
