Abstract
Described herein is an invention that relates to chemiluminescence-directed antiviral activities of natural and synthesized light-sensitive compounds. Methods are described herein for inactivating infectious virus particles outside and inside an organism. These methods incorporate coupling the antiviral activity of various light-sensitive compounds with chemiluminescence directed by native as well as foreign enzymes of the organism and enhanced by the addition of various anti-quenchers and wavelength-shifting compounds. The methods described herein feature light-sensitive compounds with known antiviral activity exhibited in the presence of light.
