    Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an emerging tick-borne viral infection caused by a bandavirus in the family of Phenuiviridae, commonly known as SFTS virus (SFTSV). We have previously isolated SFTSV from blood samples of SFTS patients and established an antiviral assay system to identify selective inhibitors of SFTSV in vitro. Using the assay system, the antimalarial agent amodiaquine was identified as a selective inhibitor of SFTSV replication. However, due to its insufficient antiviral activity, 98 amodiaquine derivatives were newly synthesized and examined for their anti-SFTSV activity. Among the derivatives, some compounds showed selective inhibitory effect on SFTSV replication in vitro. The 50% effective concentration (EC50) and cytotoxic concentration (CC50) of the most active compound (C-90) were 2.6 ± 0.6 and >50 μM, respectively. This EC50 value was comparable to or slightly better than that of favipiravir (4.1 ± 0.6 μM). On the other hand, pharmacokinetic studies in vivo revealed that C-90 was poor in its oral bioavailability in mice. Therefore, we further designed and synthesized derivatives and obtained 2 compounds with selective anti-SFTSV activity in vitro and improved pharmacokinetics in vivo.

    　More details

    Cenicriviroc (CVC) is a small-molecule chemokine receptor antagonist with highly potent and selective anti-human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) activity through antagonizing C-C chemokine receptor type 5 (CCR5) as a coreceptor of HIV-1. CVC also strongly antagonizes C-C chemokine receptor type 2b (CCR2b), thereby it has potent anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects. CVC is currently under clinical trials in the patients for treatment of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, in which immune cell activation and dysregulation of proinflammatory cytokines play an important role in its pathogenesis. In this study, CVC was examined for its inhibitory effect on the replication of SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19, in cell cultures and found to be a selective inhibitor of the virus. The 50% effective concentrations of CVC were 19.0 and 2.9 μM in the assays based on the inhibition of virus-induced cell destruction and viral RNA levels in culture supernatants of the infected cells, respectively. Interestingly, the CCR5-specific antagonist maraviroc did not show any anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity. Although the mechanism of SARS-CoV-2 inhibition by CVC remains to be elucidated, CCR2b does not seem to be its target molecule. Considering the fact that the regulation of excessive immune activation is required to treat COVID-19 patients at the late stage of the disease, CVC should be further pursued for its potential in the treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

    Background: The transmissible capacity and toxicity of SARS-CoV-2 variants are continually changing. We report here the follow-up study of hospitalized COVID-19 patients from 2020 to 2022. It is known that the PCR diagnosis for hospitalized patients sometimes causes confusion because of the incompatibility between their diagnosis and symptoms. We applied our sugar chain-immobilized gold-nanoparticles for the extraction and partial purification of RNA from specimens for quantitative RT-PCR assay and evaluated whether the results correlate with patients' symptoms. Methods and Results: Saliva specimens were taken from hospitalized patients with mild or moderate symptoms every early morning. At the time of RT-PCR diagnosis, two methods for the extraction and partial purification of RNA from the specimen were performed: a commonly used Boom (Qiagen) method and our original sugar chain-immobilized gold nanoparticle (SGNP) method. For symptoms, body temperature and oxygen saturation (SpO2) of patients were monitored every 4 h. Conclusions: It was clear that patients infected with the Delta variant needed more time to recover than those with the Omicron variant, and that the SGNP method showed more realistic correlation with the symptoms of patients compared with the common Qiagen method.

    We have developed an aggregate of D-octaarginine immobilized at multiple points on a co-polymer of N-vinylacetamide and acrylic acid. Previous studies revealed that immunoglobulin G and A were induced when mice were inoculated with influenza virus antigens under coadministration with the D-octaarginine-immobilized polymers as a mucosal vaccine adjuvant. Infection experiments demonstrated that mice vaccinated with a mixture of inactivated influenza viruses and the polymers were protected from infection with mouse-adapted infectious viruses. In the present study, we investigated the mechanism on antigen delivery under mucosal vaccination using the polymers. Two-hour retention of fluorescein-labeled ovalbumin (F-OVA) on the nasal mucosa was observed when applied with the polymers; nevertheless F-OVA was eliminated less than 10 min under polymer-free conditions. F-OVA mixed with the polymers was vigorously taken up into murine dendritic cells. Electrophoresis and dynamic light scattering analysis indicated that OVA interacted with the polymers. The uptake of F-OVA was hardly ever inhibited by the addition of an excess amount of intact OVA. The results suggested that viral antigens were accumulated on the mucosa and delivered into dendritic cells under basolateral membranes via dendrites extending to the mucosal surface and/or subsequent to their permeation through epithelial cells, when they were coadministered with D-octaarginine-immobilized polymers.

    　More details

    The current antiretroviral therapy cannot cure the patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) due to the existence of latently infected cells capable of virus production from harboring proviral DNA. MazF is an ACA nucleotide sequence-specific endoribonuclease derived from Escherichia coli. The conditional expression of MazF by binding of HIV-1 Tat to the promoter region of a MazF-expression vector has previously been shown to selectively inhibit HIV-1 replication in acutely infected cells. The expression of MazF significantly suppressed tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α-induced HIV-1 production and viral RNA expression in the HIV-1 latently infected cell line OM-10.1 transduced with the MazF-expression vector (OM-10.1/MFR). Moreover, the viability of OM-10.1/MFR cells decreased with increasing concentrations of TNF-α, whereas such decrease was not observed for HL-60 cells transduced with the MazF-expression vector (HL-60/MFR), the uninfected parental cell line of OM-10.1. TNF-α increased the expression of cleaved caspase-3 and cleaved poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase in OM-10.1/MFR cells, indicating that the cell death was caused by the induction of apoptosis. TNF-α-induced expression of MazF mRNA was detected in OM-10.1/MFR but not HL-60/MFR cells, suggesting that TNF-α-induced apoptosis of latently infected cells was due to the expression of MazF. Thus, the anti-HIV-1 gene therapy using the MazF-expression vector may have potential for the cure of HIV-1 infection in combination with suitable latency reversing agents through reducing the size of latently infected cells without viral reactivation.

    BACKGROUND/AIM: Adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) is a hematological malignancy caused by infection with human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1). Chemotherapy, antibody therapy, and bone marrow transplantation are used to treat this disease, however, median survival time has not been significantly improved. Our aim was to develop and evaluate a novel antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) with regards to cell cytotoxicity and target specificity. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this study, we have constructed a novel ADC, which is composed of an anti-CD70 single chain Fv-Fc antibody conjugated with the anticancer agent emtansine using a novel antibody modification method. Cell cytotoxicity and target specificity were assessed using a cell proliferation assay. RESULTS: The anti-CD70 ADC selectively killed HTLV-1-infected cells and ATL cells without affecting other cells. CONCLUSION: The anti-CD70 ADC offers some chemotherapeutic potential for the treatment of ATL.

    We report an AIDS patient with a high HIV RNA copy number in the plasma who was successfully treated for prolonged Mycobacterium avium bacteremia and other complications. An HIV-infected patient with high fever, anemia, high alkaline phosphatase, cystic lung lesions, hepatitis B virus infection and Kaposi's sarcoma was referred to our hospital. PCR of the blood revealed Mycobacterium avium bacteremia and the time to blood culture positivity was 8 days. The HIV-1 RNA copy number in the plasma was more than ten million copies/ml and the CD4-positive T cell count was 21 cells/μL. Although the high fever resolved five days after therapy for Mycobacterium avium was started, the fever recurred just before starting anti-retroviral therapy (ART) including dolutegravir. The patient experienced repeated but self-limiting bouts of severe inflammation. Mycobacteremia was intermittently detected up to 79 days, suggesting that the recurrent episodes of inflammation were due to the intermittent dissemination of mycobacteria, and that persistent treatment is needed. Five months after the beginning of ART, the HIV-1 RNA copy number in the plasma was still 28,000 copies/ml. An HIV drug-resistance test revealed sensitivity to all anti-retroviral drugs. Eleven months after the initiation of ART, the HIV RNA copy number in the plasma decreased to 45 copies/mL and the CD4-positive T cell count recovered to 205 cells/μL. Our case also suggests that dolutegravir can be effective in cases with prolonged high levels of HIV RNA. Our findings emphasize that prompt diagnosis and persistent therapy for mycobacterial infection are important for successful treatment.

    Mucosal vaccination, which secretion of immunoglobulin A (IgA) on the mucosa is accompanied by induction of immunoglobulin G (IgG) in the blood, is one of the most effective ways to circumvent influenza epidemics caused by incorrect prediction of epidemic viral strains or viral mutation. Secreted IgA is expected to prevent hosts from being infected with heterologous viruses because this antibody cross-reacts to strains other than those used for immunization. Our previous mouse experiments revealed that intranasal IgA with cross-reactivity was induced through nasal inoculation with inactivated whole viral particles of the H1N1 A/New Caledonia/20/99 IVR116 (NCL) strain in the presence of hyaluronic acid modified with tetraglycine-l-octaarginine. In the present study, heterologous influenza virus challenge was performed to validate a potential of the hyaluronic acid derivative as a mucosal adjuvant with cross-protective abilities. Serious weight loss was observed when mice were nasally inoculated with inactivated NCL viruses alone and subsequently exposed to mouse-adapted infectious viruses of the H1N1 A/Puerto Rico/8/34 (PR8) strain. The symptom associated with virus infection was hardly ever observed for mice inoculated with a mixture of the viral antigens and tetraglycine-l-octaarginine-linked hyaluronic acid, presumably due to high induction of IgG and IgA capable of cross-reacting to PR8 viruses. Less proliferation of PR8 viruses in those mice was also supported by an insignificant elevation of antibody levels through virus exposure. Our polysaccharide derivative enabled hosts to acquire adaptive immunity with cross-protective abilities against heterologous virus infection.

    Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is currently treated with nucleoside/nucleotides analogs. They are potent inhibitors of HBV DNA polymerase, which also functions as reverse transcriptase. Although nucleoside/nucleotide analogs efficiently suppress HBV replication in liver cells, they cannot eradicate HBV DNA from liver cells and cure the disease. Therefore, it is still mandatory to identify and develop effective inhibitors that target a step other than reverse transcription in the viral replication cycle. HBV capsid assembly is a critical step for viral replication and an attractive target for inhibition of HBV replication. We conducted in silico screening of compounds expected to bind to the HBV capsid dimer-dimer interaction site. The selected compounds were further examined for their anti-HBV activity in vitro. Among the test compounds, novel pyrimidotriazine derivatives were found to be selective inhibitors of HBV replication in HepG2.2.15.7 cells. Among the compounds, 2-[(2,3-dichlorophenyl)amino]-4-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-8-methyl-4H,9H-pyrimido[1,2-a][1,3,5]triazin-6-one was the most active against HBV replication. Studies on its mechanism of action revealed that the compound interfered with HBV capsid assembly determined by a cell-free capsid assembly system. Thus, the pyrimidotriazine derivatives are considered to be potential leads for novel HBV capsid assembly inhibitors.

    We have been investigating the potential use of polymers modified with cell-penetrating peptides as an adjuvant for mucosal vaccination and have already developed nondegradable poly( N-vinylacetamide- co-acrylic acid) (PNVA- co-AA) with which d-octaarginine, a typical cell-penetrating peptide, was grafted. Our previous murine infection experiments demonstrated that immunoglobulin G (IgG) and immunoglobulin A (IgA) were induced in systemic circulation and secreted on nasal mucosa, respectively, through 4-time nasal inoculations with a mixture of influenza viral antigens and d-octaarginine-linked PNVA- co-AA at 7-day intervals, and that immunized mice were perfectly protected from homologous virus infection. In the present study, we designed novel biodegradable polymers bearing cell-penetrating peptides from a perspective of clinical application. Hyaluronic acid whose glucuronic acid was modified with tetraglycine-l-octaarginine at a monosaccharide unit ratio of 30% was successfully developed. The hyaluronic acid derivative exhibited adjuvant activities identical to PNVA- co-AA bearing either d-octaarginine or tetraglycine-d-octaarginine under the above-mentioned inoculation schedule. We further found that there was no difference in humoral immunity between the 4-time inoculations at 7-day intervals and the 2-time inoculations at 28-day intervals. Intranasal IgA induced through the latter schedule with a smaller number of inoculations, which is clinically practical, exhibited cross-reactivity beyond the subtype of viral strains. In vitro toxicity studies demonstrated that the hyaluronic acid derivative was much less toxic than the corresponding PNVA- co-AA derivatives, and that both the polymers and their metabolites did not exhibit genotoxicity. Our results suggested that tetraglycine-l-octaarginine-linked hyaluronic acid would be a clinically valuable and safe adjuvant for mucosal vaccination.

Evaluation of the antiviral activities of 5a-d revealed that introduction of a halogeno-substituent into the 3'-position of (-)-BCA diminished its anti-HIV-1 activity but increased the inhibitory activity for the reverse transcriptase of HBV in that the 3'-fluorinated BCA 5d exhibited the highest activity without significant cytotoxicity.

    Copyright © 2017 American Scientific Publishers. The development of safe and effective vaccines against human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection is mandatory to suppress the global AIDS pandemic. We have recently created polyion complex (PIC) nanoparticles (NPs) using the anionic polymer poly(γ-glutamic acid) (γ-PGA) and the cationic protein protamine. Both materials are biodegradable. HIV-1 gp120-carrying PIC NPs (gp120-PIC NPs) were prepared by mixing γ-PGA-graft-L-phenylalanine ethylester polymer with protamine containing gp120 antigen in phosphate-buffered saline, and their effect on the induction of innate and adaptive immune responses was examined in mice. gp120-PIC NPs were efficiently taken up into dendritic cells (DCs). PIC NPs upregulated surface costimulatory molecule expression and cytokine production through the mitogenactivated protein kinase-mediated nuclear factor κB signaling pathway in DCs. The immunization of mice with gp120-PIC NPs resulted in robust induction of antigen-specific CD8+ T cells as well as IgG antibodies. In contrast, such induction was not observed, when mice were immunized with gp120 alone or gp120 plus Alum-base adjuvant or incomplete Freund's adjuvant. Furthermore, PIC NPs could induce antigen-specific effector and central memory CD8+ T cells. These results suggest that PIC NPs have potential as an effective vaccine adjuvant against various infectious diseases including HIV-1/AIDS.

    ヘルペスウイルス感染症に対する治療薬の発見から始まった。抗ウイルス薬の研究と開発の歴史は、ヒト免疫不全ウイルス、インフルエンザウイルス、そして肝炎ウイルスへと、半世紀以上の歳月をかけて、その対象を拡大してきた。その結果、これらのウイルスに対しては、治療効果が高く、副作用の少ない薬剤が開発され、臨床で幅広く使用されている。(著者抄録)

    Publisher：医歯薬出版(株)  

    逆転写酵素を阻害するジドブジンの発見により、HIV-1感染症に対する抗ウイルス化学療法が開始されて以来、種々の逆転写酵素阻害薬、プロテアーゼ阻害薬、そしてインテグレース阻害薬がつぎつぎに開発された。その結果、作用機序の異なる薬剤を複数併用する抗レトロウイルス療法(ART)が確立したことで、薬剤耐性ウイルスの出現を抑え、感染者の血中ウイルス量を検出限界以下に維持し続けることが可能となった。さらに最近では、複数の薬剤をまとめた合剤が開発され、服薬が1日1回1錠ですむようになった。このように、ARTはほぼ完成の領域に達した感があるものの、より完全な治療法の確立を求めて新薬の臨床開発がいまもなお積極的に行われている。このなかには、既存の抗HIV-1薬とは作用機序(標的分子)が異なるもの、同じ作用機序ではあるが、より強い薬効と低い毒性を有するもの、そして月に1回程度の投与で十分な効果のある長時間作用型注射薬などがある。とくに長時間作用型注射薬については、抗HIV-1維持療法への適用と、曝露前予防投与への道を開くものとして、大きな期待が寄せられている。(著者抄録)

    SFTS is an emerging tick-borne infectious disease. Its fatality is quite high. However, there are no antiviral agents currently approved for clinical use. We have established a safe and rapid assay system for screening selective inhibitors of SFTSV and tested various compounds in the assay system. When ribavirin and favipiravir were examined for their anti-SFTSV activity, their EC50 values were 40.1 ± 16.3 and 25.0 ± 9.3 μM, respectively. Both compounds have already been reported as selective inhibitors of SFTSV replication in vitro. Furthermore, amodiaquine was found to be effective against SFTSV (EC50 = 19.1 ± 5.1 μM).
