Phenolic diterpenoid derivatives as anti-influenza a virus agents.

ABSTRACT: A series of diterpenoid derivatives based on podocarpic acid were synthesized and evaluated as anti-influenza A virus agents. Several of the novel podocarpic acid derivatives exhibited nanomolar activities against an H1N1 influenza A virus (A/Puerto Rico/8/34) that was resistant to two anti-influenza drugs, oseltamivir and amantadine. This class of compounds inhibits the influenza virus by targeting the viral hemagglutinin-mediated membrane fusion. These results indicated that podocarpic acid derivatives may serve as potential drug candidates to fight drug-resistant influenza A virus infections.

Structure-activity relationship studies of lipophilic teicoplanin pseudoaglycon derivatives as new anti-influenza virus agents.

Project description:Six series of semisynthetic lipophilic glycopeptide antibiotic derivatives were evaluated for in vitro activity against influenza A and B viruses. The new teicoplanin pseudoaglycon-derived lipoglycopeptides were prepared by coupling one or two side chains to the N-terminus of the glycopeptide core, using various conjugation methods. Three series of derivatives bearing two lipophilic groups were synthesized by attaching bis-alkylthio maleimides directly or through linkers of different lengths to the glycopeptide. Access to the fourth and fifth series of compounds was achieved by click chemistry, introducing single alkyl/aryl chains directly or through a tetraethylene glycol linker to the same position. A sixth group of semisynthetic derivatives was obtained by sulfonylation of the N-terminus. Of the 42 lipophilic teicoplanin pseudoaglycon derivatives tested, about half showed broad activity against influenza A and B viruses, with some of them having reasonable or no cytotoxicity. Minor differences in the side chain length as well as lipophilicity appeared to have significant impact on antiviral activity and cytotoxicity. Several lipoglycopeptides were also found to be active against human coronavirus.

Evolution and Biological Evaluation of Matrinic Derivatives with Amantadine Fragments As New Anti-Influenza Virus Agents.

Project description:A series of novel tricyclic matrinic derivatives with 11-adamantyl substitution were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their activities against Influenza A H3N2 virus, based on the privileged structure strategy. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis indicated that the introduction of an 11-adamantyl might be helpful for the potency. Among them, compounds 9f and 9j exhibited the promising anti-H3N2 activities with IC50 values of 7.2 μM and 10.2 μM, respectively, better than that of lead 1. Their activities were further confirmed at the protein level. Moreover, compound 9f displayed a high pharmacokinetic (PK) stability profile in whole blood and a safety profile in vivo. In primary mechanism, compound 9f could inhibit the virus replication cycle at early stage by targeting M2 protein, consistent with that of the parent amantadine. This study provided powerful information for further strategic optimization to develop these compounds into a new class of anti-influenza agents.

Discovery of 3-Arylquinoxaline Derivatives as Potential Anti-Dengue Virus Agents.

Project description:We designed and synthesized a series of novel 3-arylquinoxaline derivatives and evaluated their biological activities as potential dengue virus (DENV) replication inhibitors. Among them, [3-(4-methoxyphenyl)quinoxalin-2-yl](phenyl)methanol (19a), [6,7-dichloro-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)quinoxalin-2-yl](phenyl)methanol (20a), and (4-methoxyphenyl)(3-phenylquinoxalin-2-yl)methanone (21b) were found to significantly inhibit the DENV RNA expression in Huh-7-DV-Fluc cells with a potency better than that of ribavirin. Compound 19a reduced DENV replication in both viral protein and messenger RNA (mRNA) levels in a dose-dependent manner and exhibited no significant cell cytotoxicity. Notably, compound 19a exhibited a half maximal effective concentration (EC50) value at 1.29 ± 0.74 μM. We further observed that the inhibitory effect of 19a on DENV replication was due to suppression of DENV-induced cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression. Docking studies also showed that 19a caused hydrophobic interactions at the active sites with Arg29, Glu31, Tyr116, Leu138, Pro139, Lys454, Arg455, and Gln529. The calculated lowest binding energy between the 19a and COX-2 was -9.10 kcal/mol. In conclusion, compound 19a might be a potential lead compound for developing an anti-DENV agent.

A cell-based screening system for anti-influenza A virus agents.

Project description:Emerging of drug resistant influenza A virus (IAV) has been a big challenge for anti-IAV therapy. In this study, we describe a relatively easy and safe cell-based screening system for anti-IAV replication inhibitors using a non-replicative strain of IAV. A nickel (II) complex of polyhydroxybenzaldehyde N4-thiosemicarbazone (NiPT5) was recently found to exhibit anti-inflammatory activity in vivo and in vitro. NiPT5 impedes the signaling cascades that lead to the activation of NF-κB in response to different stimuli, such as LPS and TNFα. Using our cell-based screening system, we report that pretreating cells with NiPT5 protects cells from influenza A virus (IAV) and vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) infection. Furthermore, NiPT5 inhibits replication of IAV by inhibiting transcription and translation of vRNAs of IAV. Additionally, NiPT5 reduces IAV-induced type I interferon response and cytokines production. Moreover, NiPT5 prevents activation of NF-κB, and IRF3 in response to IAV infection. These results demonstrate that NiPT5 is a potent antiviral agent that inhibits the early phase of IAV replication.

Natural phenolic derivatives based on piperine scaffold as potential antifungal agents.

Project description:Piperine is a natural alkaloid with a wide range of biological functions. Natural phenolic compounds existed in many essential oils (EOs) are plant-derived aroma compounds with broad range of biological activities, however, their actions are slow, and they are typically unstable to light or heat, difficult to extract and so on. In order to find high-potential fungicides derived from piperine, a series of piperine-directed essential oil derivatives were designed and synthesized. The structures of all molecules were confirmed by satisfied spectral data, including 1H NMR, 13C NMR and ESIMS. The target compounds were screened for their potential fungicidal activities against six species of plant pathogen fungi, including Rhizoctonia solani, Fusarium graminearum, Phomopsis adianticola, Alternaria tenuis Nees, Phytophthora capsici and Gloeosporium theae-sinensis. Some of target compounds exhibited moderate and broad-spectrum activity against tested fungi compared to the parental piperine. Further studies have shown that some different concentrations of compounds have significant inhibitory activity against Alternaria tenuis Nees and Phytophthora capsici compared to commercial carbendazim, and compound 2b exhibited particularly significant broad-spectrum fungicidal activity.

Synthesis and Evaluation of 11-Butyl Matrine Derivatives as Potential Anti-Virus Agents.

Project description:Matrine derivatives were reported to have various biological activities, especially the ester, amide or sulfonamide derivatives of matrine deriving from the hydroxyl or carboxyl group at the end of the branch chain after the D ring of matrine is opened. In this work, to investigate whether moving away all functional groups from the C-11 branch chain could have an impact on the bioactivities, such as anti-tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), insecticidal and fungicidal activities, a variety of N-substituted-11-butyl matrine derivatives were synthesized. The obtained bioassay result showed that most N-substituted-11-butyl matrine derivatives had obviously enhanced anti-TMV activity compared with matrine, especially many compounds had good inhibitory activity close to that of commercialized virucide Ningnanmycin (inhibition rate 55.4, 57.8 ± 1.4, 55.3 ± 0.5 and 60.3 ± 1.2% at 500 μg/mL; 26.1, 29.7 ± 0.2, 24.2 ± 1.0 and 27.0 ± 0.3% at 100 μg/mL, for the in vitro activity, in vivo inactivation, curative and protection activities, respectively). Notably, N-benzoyl (7), N-benzyl (16), and N-cyclohexylmethyl-11-butyl (19) matrine derivatives had higher anti-TMV activity than Ningnanmycin at both 500 and 100 μg/mL for the four test modes, showing high potential as anti-TMV agent. Furthermore, some compounds also showed good fungicidal activity or insecticidal activity.

Discovery of Novel Boron-Containing <i>N</i>-Substituted Oseltamivir Derivatives as Anti-Influenza A Virus Agents for Overcoming N1-H274Y Oseltamivir-Resistant.

Project description:To address drug resistance to influenza virus neuraminidase inhibitors (NAIs), a series of novel boron-containing N-substituted oseltamivir derivatives were designed and synthesized to target the 150-cavity of neuraminidase (NA). In NA inhibitory assays, it was found that most of the new compounds exhibited moderate inhibitory potency against the wild-type NAs. Among them, compound 2c bearing 4-(3-boronic acid benzyloxy)benzyl group displayed weaker or slightly improved activities against group-1 NAs (H1N1, H5N1, H5N8 and H5N1-H274Y) compared to that of oseltamivir carboxylate (OSC). Encouragingly, 2c showed 4.6 times greater activity than OSC toward H5N1-H274Y NA. Moreover, 2c exerted equivalent or more potent antiviral activities than OSC against H1N1, H5N1 and H5N8. Additionally, 2c demonstrated low cytotoxicity in vitro and no acute toxicity at the dose of 1000 mg/kg in mice. Molecular docking of 2c was employed to provide a possible explanation for the improved anti-H274Y NA activity, which may be due to the formation of key additional hydrogen bonds with surrounding amino acid residues, such as Arg152, Gln136 and Val149. Taken together, 2c appeared to be a promising lead compound for further optimization.

2,5-Diketopiperazine Derivatives as Potential Anti-Influenza (H5N2) Agents: Synthesis, Biological Evaluation, and Molecular Docking Study.

Project description:2,5-Diketopiperazine derivatives, consisting of benzylidene and alkylidene substituents at 3 and 6 positions, have been considered as a core structure for their antiviral activities. Herein, the novel N-substituted 2,5-Diketopiperazine derivatives were successfully prepared and their antiviral activities against influenza virus were evaluated by monitoring viral propagation in embryonated chicken eggs. It was found that (3Z,6Z)-3-benzylidene-6-(2-methyl propylidene)-4-substituted-2,5-Diketopiperazines (13b-d), (3Z,6E)-3-benzylidene-6-(2-methylpropyli dene)-1-(1-ethyl pyrrolidine)-2,5-Diketopiperazine (14c), and Lansai-C exhibited negative results in influenza virus propagation at a concentration of 25 µg/mL. Additionally, molecular docking study revealed that 13b-d and 14c bound in 430-cavity of neuraminidase from H5N2 avian influenza virus and the synthesized derivatives also strongly interacted with the key amino acid residues, including Arg371, Pro326, Ile427, and Thr439.

Discovery and structure activity relationship of glyoxamide derivatives as anti-hepatitis B virus agents.

Project description:Chronic hepatitis B viral infection is a significant health problem world-wide, and currently available antiviral agents suppress HBV infections, but rarely cure this disease. It is presumed that antiviral agents that target the viral nuclear reservoir of transcriptionally active cccDNA may eliminate HBV infection. Through a series of chemical optimization, we identified a new series of glyoxamide derivatives affecting HBV nucleocapsid formation and cccDNA maintenance at low nanomolar levels. Among all the compounds synthesized, GLP-26 displays a major effect on HBV DNA, HBeAg secretion and cccDNA amplification. In addition, GLP-26 shows a promising pre-clinical profile and long-term effect on viral loads in a humanized mouse model.

Antiviral Peptides as Anti-Influenza Agents.

Project description:Influenza viruses represent a leading cause of high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Approaches for fighting flu are seasonal vaccines and some antiviral drugs. The development of the seasonal flu vaccine requires a great deal of effort, as careful studies are needed to select the strains to be included in each year's vaccine. Antiviral drugs available against Influenza virus infections have certain limitations due to the increased resistance rate and negative side effects. The highly mutative nature of these viruses leads to the emergence of new antigenic variants, against which the urgent development of new approaches for antiviral therapy is needed. Among these approaches, one of the emerging new fields of "peptide-based therapies" against Influenza viruses is being explored and looks promising. This review describes the recent findings on the antiviral activity, mechanism of action and therapeutic capability of antiviral peptides that bind HA, NA, PB1, and M2 as a means of countering Influenza virus infection.
