Abstract | Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome is a hemorrhagic fever caused by a tick-borne infection. The causative agent, Dabie bandavirus, is also called the severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV). Ogawa et al. (2022) reported that levodopa, an antiparkinsonian drug with an o-dihydroxybenzene backbone, which is important for anti-SFTSV activity, inhibited SFTSV infection. Levodopa is metabolized by dopa decarboxylase (DDC) and catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) in vivo. We evaluated the anti-SFTSV efficacy of two DDC inhibitors, benserazide hydrochloride and carbidopa, and two COMT inhibitors, entacapone and nitecapone, which also have an o-dihydroxybenzene backbone. Only DDC inhibitors inhibited SFTSV infection with pretreatment of the virus (half-maximal inhibitory concentration [IC |
