A similar synergism was observed for virucidal activity against HIV-1 IIIB (Fig.
Elicitation of gp41 six-helix bundles and virucidal activity represent shared properties between micronized and soluble (at sufficient concentrations) forms of CAP [ 37 ] .
Smallpox, while not found in the world's population at present, remains a potential health hazard especially due to the possibility of its use as a bioweapon [ 1 2 3 4 5 ] . There is currently no accepted treatment for smallpox, although a number of agents have been evaluated [ 6 ] . Therefore, new therapeutic or virucidal agents could have great utility in slowing both the progression and spread of the disease in an epidemic situation.
To avoid this, CAP in micronized form (which does not aggregate at low pH), instead of CAP in soluble form is being considered as a topical microbicide [ 30 31 32 33 34 35 ] . Micronized CAP (Aquateric) was shown to be virucidal against HIV-1, herpesviruses and several nonviral sexually transmitted disease (STD) pathogens [ 30 31 32 33 34 ] . The virucidal activity of micronized CAP could at least partly be explained by its buffering capacity at low pH [ 40 ] since it is a free acid while other anionic polymeric microbicide candidates (except BufferGel, the active ingredient of which is Carbomer 974P [ 27 ] ) are sodium salts.
This was confirmed by the results of assays for virucidal activity.
