Abstract
The mouse hepatitis virus (MHV-2) induces broad collapses, focal necrosis and cytolysis of hepatocytes, and leads to death after three to five days of intraperitoneal injection in mice. The present study investigated whether the combinatorial treatment of dimethyl dicarboxylate/amantadine (2:1) showed hepatoprotective and/or antiviral properties in MHV-2 infected ICR mice. In the study, we found that dimethyl dicarboxylate/amantadine group (VDDBA) increased the survival rate (30.8%) when compared to positive control, VL (7.7%) and that VDDBA lengthened the survival time (4.2d)after MHV-2 infection. In addition, ALT and AST were well regulated when treated with VDDBA (p
