The effect of guanidine on the replication of the group A arboviruses, Sindbis virus, and Semliki Forest virus (SFV) was studied. Guanidine rapidly, but reversibly, inhibited SFV ribonucleic acid (RNA) synthesis. The synthesis of all species of viral RNA was inhibited, but that of ribonuclease-resistant forms was least affected. This inhibition occurred when the drug was added at any point during the log phase of virus growth. The growth of SFV was also markedly inhibited, but Sindbis virus growth was unimpaired. Infection of guanidine-treated cells with the viruses together resulted in a significant inhibition of the yields of both. It appears that, in the case of Sindbis virus, viral RNA is ordinarily produced in such excess that inhibition of its synthesis does not reduce virus yields. In the case of SFV, guanidine also markedly distorts the pattern of RNA synthesis by greatly decreasing the production of the 26S interjacent RNA form. This may account for the observed inhibition of SFV growth in the presence of guanidine.
