    Abstract Intraperitoneal injection of chlorite-oxidized oxyamylose (COAM) protected mice against mengo, vaccinia, Semliki Forest, and influenza APR8 viruses. Topical administration in the eye of rabbits partially inhibited the development of experimental herpetic keratoconjunctivitis. COAM resembled polyacrylic acid in many aspects, but it was markedly less toxic. For systemic administration, the therapeutic index was on the order of magnitude of 1:300 to 1:500. Although the in vivo antiviral effect of COAM wore off faster than that of polyacrylic acid, protection lasted for several weeks. Against mengovirus, such prolonged protection was achieved only when polymer and virus were injected intraperitoneally. Protection against intravenous vaccinia virus was not dependent on the injection route of COAM. Experiments on the mode of action of COAM pointed to macrophages as possible mediators of the antiviral effect. The fact that small amounts of interferon appeared in the serum after administration of high doses of COAM suggests that interferon may play a role in the induction of antiviral resistance by COAM.

    Abstract Chlorite-oxidized oxypolysaccharides are polyacetal carboxylic acids. They inhibited the cytopathic effect of vesicular stomatitis virus in mouse embryo cell cultures challenged at low input multiplicity. After intraperitoneal injection of these compounds in mice, interferon appeared in the circulation. The compounds also protected mice against lethal mengovirus infection and against the development of experimental pox lesions on the tail. Chlorite-oxidized oxyamylose was antiviral only when at least 64% of the glucopyranose units were oxidized, an observation which suggested a correlation between charge density and antiviral effect. The antiviral activity was also influenced by the molecular weight, as demonstrated by the fact that chlorite-oxidized dextrans which had a high intrinsic viscosity were more active than those with low intrinsic viscosity.
