Microporous and Mesoporous Materials 79 (2005) 165–169 ‘‘Rudjer Boskovic’’ Institute, Division of Molecular Medicine, Bijenicka 54, HR-10002 Zagreb, Croatia Received 14 August 2004;received in revised form 11 October 2004;accepted 26 October 2004 The aim of this study was to evaluate the antiviral properties of clinoptilolite, a natural non-toxic zeolite. Herein, a fine powder of micronized zeolite (MZ) was obtained by tribomechanical micronization of natural clinoptilolite. Different viral suspensions weretreated with MZ in concentrations ranging from 0.5 to 50 mg/ml. The viral proliferation was evaluated by optical microscope aspercentage of cytopathic effect (CPE). Human adenovirus 5, herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV 1) and human enteroviruses (coxsac-kievirus B5 and echovirus 7) were used in the antiviral assay. Concentrations of 0.5 and 5 mg/ml of MZ induced a very low antiviraleffect or the antiviral was not observed at all, while concentrations of 12, 25 and 50 mg/ml of MZ induced a significant inhibitoryeffect upon viral proliferation. MZ inhibited the viral proliferation of HSV 1, coxsackievirus B5 and echovirus 7 more efficiently thanadenovirus 5. The antiviral effect of MZ seems to be non-specific and is more likely based on the incorporation of viral particles intopores of MZ aggregates than ion exchange properties of clinoptilolite. Our preliminary results indicate a possibility of therapeuticalapplication of MZ, either locally (skin) against herpesvirus infections or orally in cases of adenovirus or enterovirus infections.
Futhermore, MZ could also be used in purification of drinking water from different viruses.

Grce, K. Pavelic´ / Microporous and Mesoporous Materials 79 (2005) 165–169 Another possible mechanism of action of MZ onto Percentage of inhibition echovirus 7 proliferation upon treatment with viral particles is its ion exchange capability that could destabilise morphology of viral particles;namely as lipo- protein structure (viral envelope) is less resistant to envi- ronment than protein (viral capside), this could explain why herpesviruses (enveloped) were more destabilised than adenoviruses (non-enveloped) by MZ. However, this theory is not completely accurate because the prolif- eration of enteroviruses (coxsackievirus B5 and echovirus 7), also non-enveloped virions were almost equally inhib- ited by MZ as those of herpesviruses (HSV 1). Thus, insuch impoverished culture media the viral viability and Concentrations of 25 and 50 mg/ml of MZ induced a infectivity is reduced.
