Berberine chloride (1) and the structurally related compounds were assessed for the anti-human cytomegalovirus ;(HCMV) activity using the plaque assay. The anti-HCMV activity (IC50 0.68 mu M) of 1 was equivalent to that (IC50 0.91 mu m) of ganciclovir (GCV). The mechanism of action by which I inhibits the replication of HCMV is presumed to be different from that of GCV; 1 would interfere with intracellular events after virus penetration into the host cells and before viral DNA synthesis.
