Brilliant Black BN

Brilliant black BN (E151) is an azo dye and a food colorant[1]. Brilliant black BN is a promising antiviral agent against EV71 infection via inhibiting the interaction between EV71 and its cellular uncoating factor cyclophilin A. Brilliant black BN has the potential for the investigation of contagious disease[2].
