Benzastatin C, a 3-chloro-tetrahydroquinolone alkaloid from Streptomyces nitrosporeus, showed antiviral activity in a dose-dependant manner with EC50, values of 1.92, 0.53, and 1.99 mu g/ml against herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV 2), and vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), respectively. In contrast, benzastatin D, the corresponding dechlorinated derivative, did not exhibit any antiviral activity. These results indicate that the antiviral activity of benzastatin C is mediated, in part, due to the chlorine moiety in its molecular structure.
