Olomoucine II, the most recent derivative of roscovitine, is an exceptionally potent pharmacological inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinase activities. Here, we report that olomoucine II is also an effective antiviral agent. Olomoucine II inhibited replication of a broad range of wild-type human viruses, including herpes simplex virus, human adenovirus type-4 and human cytomegalovirus. Olomoucine II also inhibited replication of vaccinia virus and herpes simplex virus mutants resistant to conventional acyclovir treatment. This report is the first demonstration of a poxvirus being sensitive to a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor. The antiviral effects of olomoucine II could be observed at lower concentrations than with roscovitine, although both were short-term. A remarkable observation was that olomoucine II, when used in combination with the DNA polymerase inhibitor cidofovir, was able to almost completely eliminate the spread of infectious adenovirus type-4 progeny from infected cells.
