High-Throughput Screening of FDA-Approved Drug Library Reveals Ixazomib Is a Broad-Spectrum Antiviral Agent against Arboviruses.

ABSTRACT: The emergence of significant arboviruses and their spillover transmission to humans represent a major threat to global public health. No approved drugs are available for the treatment of significant arboviruses in circulation today. The repurposing of clinically approved drugs is one of the most rapid and promising strategies in the identification of effective treatments for diseases caused by arboviruses. Here, we screened small-molecule compounds with anti-tick-borne encephalitis virus, West Nile virus, yellow fever virus and chikungunya virus activity from 2580 FDA-approved drugs. In total, 60 compounds showed antiviral efficacy against all four of the arboviruses in Huh7 cells. Among these compounds, ixazomib and ixazomib citrate (inhibitors of 20S proteasome β5) exerted antiviral effects at a low-micromolar concentration. The time-of-drug-addition assay suggested that ixazomib and ixazomib citrate disturbed multiple processes in viruses' life cycles. Furthermore, ixazomib and ixazomib citrate potently inhibited chikungunya virus replication and relieved virus-induced footpad swelling in a mouse model. These results offer critical information which supports the role of ixazomib as a broad-spectrum agent against arboviruses.

Project description:Originally developed and commercialized as an antiprotozoal agent, nitazoxanide was later identified as a first-in-class broad-spectrum antiviral drug and has been repurposed for the treatment of influenza. A Phase 2b/3 clinical trial recently published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases found that oral administration of nitazoxanide 600mg twice daily for five days reduced the duration of clinical symptoms and reduced viral shedding compared to placebo in persons with laboratory-confirmed influenza. The same study also suggested a potential benefit for subjects with influenza-like illness who did not have influenza or other documented respiratory viral infection. From a chemical perspective, nitazoxanide is the scaffold for a new class of drugs called thiazolides. These small-molecule drugs target host-regulated processes involved in viral replication. Nitazoxanide is orally bioavailable and safe with extensive post-marketing experience involving more than 75 million adults and children. A new dosage formulation of nitazoxanide is presently undergoing global Phase 3 clinical development for the treatment of influenza. Nitazoxanide inhibits a broad range of influenza A and B viruses including influenza A(pH1N1) and the avian A(H7N9) as well as viruses that are resistant to neuraminidase inhibitors. It is synergistic with neuraminidase inhibitors, and combination therapy with oseltamivir is being studied in humans as part of ongoing Phase 3 clinical development. Nitazoxanide also inhibits the replication of a broad range of other RNA and DNA viruses including respiratory syncytial virus, parainfluenza, coronavirus, rotavirus, norovirus, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, dengue, yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis virus and human immunodeficiency virus in cell culture assays. Clinical trials have indicated a potential role for thiazolides in treating rotavirus and norovirus gastroenteritis and chronic hepatitis B and chronic hepatitis C. Ongoing and future clinical development is focused on viral respiratory infections, viral gastroenteritis and emerging infections such as dengue fever.

Project description:Although the effective drugs or vaccines have been developed to prevent the spread of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), their efficacy may be limited for the viral evolution and immune escape. Thus, it is urgently needed to develop the novel broad-spectrum antiviral agents to control the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) global pandemic. The 3C-like protease (3CLpro) is a highly conserved cysteine proteinase that plays a pivotal role in processing the viral polyprotein to create non-structural proteins (nsps) for replication and transcription of SARS-CoV-2, making it an attractive antiviral target for developing broad-spectrum antiviral agents against SARS-CoV-2. In this study, we identified Thonzonium bromide as an inhibitor of SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro with an IC50 value of 2.04 ± 0.25 μM by fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based enzymatic inhibition assay from the FDA-approved drug library. Next, we determined the inhibitory activity of Thonzonium bromide analogues against SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro and analyzed their structure-activity relationship (SAR). Interestingly, Thonzonium bromide showed better inhibitory activity than other analogues. Further fluorescence quenching assay, enzyme kinetics analysis, circular dichroism (CD) analysis and molecular docking studies showed that Thonzonium bromide inhibited SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro activity by firmly occupying the catalytic site and inducing conformational changes of the protease. In addition, Thonzonium bromide didn't exhibit inhibitory activity on human chymotrypsin C (CTRC) and Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV), indicating that it had a certain selectivity. Finally, we measured the inhibitory activities of Thonzonium bromide against 3CLpro of SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV and HCoV-229E and found that it had the broad-spectrum inhibitory activity against the proteases of human coronaviruses. These results provide the possible mechanism of action of Thonzonium bromide, highlighting its potential efficacy against multiple human coronaviruses.
