The Uses of Policresulen

Policresulen is a potent novel NS2B/NS3 inhibitor and effectively inhibits the replication of DEV2 virus (dengue virus) in BHK-21 cells.

Biological Activity

Policresulen promotes selective chemical debridement: being an anion, it has the ability to interact only with the phospholipid molecules of the plasma membranes of to devitalized cells, which have lost its original electric charge. This contact provides the denaturation of cellular proteins, facilitating their removal. Its acidity, together with coagulating properties, give policresulen antimicrobial activity against staphylococcus spp., streptococcus spp. and Candida albicans. Policresulen is often used for gynecological infections. It is also used to treat canker sore in some countries.

Clinical Use
