Synthesis and Metabolic Studies of Host-Directed Inhibitors for Antiviral Therapy
Targeting host cell factors required for virus replication provides
an alternative to targeting pathogen components and represents a promising
approach to develop broad-spectrum antiviral therapeutics. High-throughput
screening (HTS) identified two classes of inhibitors (<b>2</b> and <b>3</b>) with broad-spectrum antiviral activity against
ortho- and paramyxoviruses including influenza A virus (IAV), measles
virus (MeV), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and human parainfluenza
virus type 3 (HPIV3). Hit-to-lead optimization delivered inhibitor <b>28a</b>, with EC<sub>50</sub> values of 0.88 and 0.81 μM
against IAV strain WSN and MeV strain Edmonston, respectively. It
was also found that compound <b>28a</b> delivers good stability
in human liver S9 fractions with a half-life of 165 min. These data
establish <b>28a</b> as a promising lead for antiviral therapy
through a host-directed mechanism
