General description

1-Docosanol inhibits replication of certain viruses (herpes simplex virus and respiratory syncytial virus) within primary target cells in vitro. It has been isolated from Clematis brevicaudata.

Application

1-Docosanol was used in the synthesis of series of amphiphilic dendrimers with hydrophilic aliphatic polyether-type dendritic core and hydrophobic docosyl peripheries.
