Cardiac glycosides, known ligands of the sodium pump, are widely used in the treatment of heart failure, such as digoxin and digitoxin. Besides this important activity, other biological activities, such as the antiviral activity, have been described for this group. HSV are responsible for many infections of oral, ocular and genital regions. Treatment with nucleoside analogs such as acyclovir is effective in most cases; however drug-resistance may arise due to prolonged treatment mainly in immunocompromised individuals. In this study, an antiherpes screening was performed with 65 cardenolide derivatives obtained from different sources, and one natural cardenolide, glucoevatromonoside, inhibited HSV-1 and HSV-2 replication at very low concentrations. This cardenolide showed viral inhibitory effects if added up to 12h p.i. and these effects appear to take place by the inhibition of viral proteins synthesis (ICP27, U
