Summary:The virucidal activity of many organic acids against the type species of some viral groups ( Herpesvirus, Orthomyxovirus, and Rhabdovirus) has been evaluated. The results thus obtained suggest that the activity of the different chemical compounds essentially depends on the functional groups present in the molecule. Some hypotheses on the way in which organic acids can inhibit cellular infection caused by enveloped viruses are also suggested.
