  1. NA Inhibition of lysis plaques < 50% was considered not active, Tx Cytotoxic against Vero cells at 100 μg mL−1
  2. aInhibitory percentage of lysis plaque induced by HSV-1 at a sample concentration of 100 μg mL−1 (top row), and effective concentration (μg mL−1) inhibiting 50% (EC50) of lysis plaque (bottom row; in parentheses). Acyclovir was used as positive control with 100% inhibition of lysis plaques at a concentration of 0.75 μg mL−1
  3. bVero cells were pretreated with compounds prior infection
  4. cVero cells and viruses were incubated together with compounds during the absorption period
  5. dCompounds were added after absorption and during the replication period
  6. eViruses were incubated directly with compounds prior infection of Vero cells
