Repurposing the anti-bacterial agent Enoxacin into an antiviral agent: Enoxacin-based antiviral therapy for chikungunya (CHIKV) and Zika (ZIKV) viruses: Enoxacin (Trade names: Comprecin, Enoksetin, Enoxen, Enroxil, Enoxin, Enoxor, Flumark and others), a fluoroquinolone-based antibiotic commonly used in the treatment of urinary tract infections and gonorrhea, increases spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase (SAT) expression, depletes spermidine and Spermine levels, and restricts Chikungunya and Zika viruses replication, via upregulation of its target gene, 25/March/2019, 7.54 am
