    <p>The pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019, caused by the new coronavirus severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), remains a serious concern worldwide. Although some effective vaccines have been developed, only a few anti-SARS-CoV-2 drugs have been approved for their clinical use. In this study, we designed and synthesized new anti-SARS-CoV-2 drugs based on the chemical structure of amodiaquine, which is known as an antimalarial drug. Consequently, we have identified amodiaquine analogs functionalized with dialkylamino-pendant aminophenol moieties that possess a high level of anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity with a low level of toxicity.</p>

    The discovery of selective and potent inhibitors through de novo pathways is essential to combat drug resistance in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infections. Recent studies have highlighted that neplanocin A (NepA) derivatives are biologically selective inhibitors of the hepatitis B virus (HBV). In this study, we designed, synthesized, and evaluated various pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-based NepA analogues (4a-h) for their anti-HBV activity. Notably, analogue 4g demonstrated significant activity against HBV replication, with EC50 (HBV DNA) = 0.96 μM, CC50 > 100 μM and EC50 (HBsAg) = 0.82 μM, showing selective inhibition of HBsAg secretion. The SAR analysis concluded that replacing the polar 4-NH2 group with -CH3 also acted as a weak H-bonding donor, and the presence of 3-iodo was found to be desirable for the activity/toxicity profile. The nucleoside analogues exhibited a distinct mechanism of action compared to existing nucleoside analogues for the selective inhibition of HBsAg secretion. Based on these findings, compound 4g represents a promising lead molecule for the development of new anti-HBV agents with unique mechanisms of action.

    The 3C-like protease of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, known as the main protease (Mpro), is an attractive drug target for the treatment of coronavirus disease 2019. This study reports the discovery of novel Mpro inhibitors using several in silico techniques, including docking, molecular dynamics (MD), and fragment molecular orbital (FMO) calculations. We performed docking calculations on 5950 compounds with bioactivity, and 12 compounds were selected. An enzymatic assay was conducted, revealing that BP-1-102 exhibits significant Mpro inhibitory activity with an IC50 of 11.1 μM. The identification of seed compounds from the experiments on a few compounds demonstrates the effectiveness of our docking calculations. Furthermore, the detailed analyses using MD and FMO calculations suggested an interaction mechanism in which the hydroxyl group of BP-1-102 forms a hydrogen bond with E166 of Mpro. The Mpro inhibitory activity of SH-4-54, a derivative without the aforementioned hydroxyl group, was investigated and observed to be significantly reduced, with an IC50 of 81.5 μM. This result strongly supports the suggested interaction mechanism.

    The persistence of the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the emergence of new mutant strains continue to present a substantial threat with potential for future pandemics. Safe, effective, and readily available COVID-19 therapeutics are urgently needed to prepare for future coronavirus pandemics. To help identify new antiviral agents, the present study focused on natural products in the extracts of Holy Basil, Ocimum tenuiflorum L., which show potential inhibitory effects against the SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro). Bioassay-guided isolation of the MeOH extracts of O. tenuiflorum led to the identification of a sulfur-containing glyceroglycolipid, sulfoquinovosyl diacylglycerol (SQDG: 1), as a potent Mpro inhibitor that effectively inhibited Mpro activity (IC50: 0.42 µM). SQDG (1) also markedly suppressed SARS-CoV-2 replication (EC50, 51.2 µM) in vitro while displaying no cytotoxicity (CC50 > 100 µM). Further inhibition kinetic studies and docking simulations clearly demonstrated that SQDG strongly inhibited SARS-CoV-2 Mproin a competitive and mixed-inhibition manner. These findings highlight SQDG as a promising lead compound for COVID-19 therapy and emphasize the need to explore new drugs from natural sources.

    From our compound library of vitamin K derivatives, we found that some compounds exhibited anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity in VeroE6/TMPRSS2 cells. The common structure of these compounds was menaquinone-2 (MK-2) with either the m-methylphenyl or the 1-naphthyl group introduced at the end of the side chain. Therefore, new vitamin K derivatives having more potent anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity were explored by introducing various functional groups at the ω-position of the side chain. MK-2 derivatives with a purine moiety showed the most potent antiviral activity among the derivatives. We also found that their mechanism of action was the inhibition of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) of SARS-CoV-2. The chemical structures of our compounds were completely different from those of nucleic acid derivatives such as remdesivir and molnupiravir, clinically approved RdRp inhibitors for COVID-19 treatment, suggesting that our compounds may be effective against viruses resistant to these nucleic acid derivatives.

    Language:Japanese   Publisher:Antiviral Research  

    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.

    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.

    Novel neplanocin A derivatives have been identified as potent and selective inhibitors of hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication in vitro. These include (1S,2R,5R)-5-(5-bromo-4- methyl-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]-pyrimidin-7-yl)-3-(hydroxymethyl)cyclopent-3-ene-1,2-diol (AR-II-04-26) and (1S,2R,5R)-5-(4-amino-3-iodo-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-1-yl)-3-(hydroxylmethyl) cyclopent-3-ene-1,2-diol (MK-III-02-03). The 50% effective concentrations of AR-II-04-26 and MK-III-02-03 were 0.77 6 0.23 and 0.83 6 0.36 mM in HepG2.2.15.7 cells, respectively. These compounds reduced intracellular HBV RNA levels in HepG2.2.15.7 cells and infected primary human hepatocytes. Accordingly, they could reduce HBs and HBe antigen production in the culture supernatants, which was not observed with clinically approved anti-HBV nucleosides and nucleotides (reverse transcriptase inhibitors). The neplanocin A derivatives also inhibited HBV RNA derived from cccDNA. In addition, unlike neplanocin A itself, the compounds did not inhibit S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine hydrolase activity. Thus, it appears that the mechanism of action of AR-II-04-26 and MK-III-02-03 differs from that of the clinically approved anti-HBV agents. Although their exact mechanism (target molecule) remains to be elucidated, the novel neplanocin A derivatives are considered promising candidate drugs for inhibition of HBV replication.
