Abstract

Cupric complex of isonicotinic acid hydrazide (cupric-INH complex) has been shown to inactivate avian myeloblastosis virus (AMV). The complex did not have any demonstrable chemotherapeutic activity against AMV infection in chicks. However, when encapsulated in positive charged liposomes the complex partially protected the chicks from AMV infection. The levels and stability of the complex in various tissues particularly in bone marrow, the target tissue for AMV multiplication, were higher in liposome-encapsulated cupric-INH complex injected than in chicks injected with unencapsulated complex.
