Some dihalo-amino-pyrimidines and -pyridines were alkylated and acylated at the amino group. The resulting twenty-four compounds were then tested for their action on Herpes simplex virus infection in human HEp-2 cell cultures. Five compounds were active and 2-benzamido-3,5-dichloropyridine [(III B); Table I] showed the highest antiviral activity.
