Synthesis and Antiviral Activity of Novel Adamantylpeptides

A novel type of compound that contains a peptide specific for bacterial peptidoglycans (immunomodulatory activity) and an adamantyl residue (antiviral activity) was synthesized. Thus, L -Ala-D -γGln was linked to DL -Gly(Ada) yielding two diasteroisomers 3a and 3b , i.e. ambo-Gly(Ada)-L -Ala-D -γGln (γGln = isoglutamine-4-amino-4-carbamoylbutanoic acid; Ada = adamantyl). The diastereoisomers were easily separated by column chromatography (silica gel) and characterized, but only the use of a stereospecific enzyme led to the assignment of the configuration of the Gly(Ada) moiety in the two diastereoisomers. The cytotoxic effect and antiviral activity of the novel adamantyltripeptides 3a and 3b , observed as the cell survival and the infectivity reduction of the influenza A virus H1N1 and H3N2 strains, respectively, were studied on MDCK cells in vitro. Both 3a and 3b exhibited low cytotoxicity for MDCK cells and reduced the infectivity of the influenza A virus strains, but to a different extent on different Strain.     

Synthesis,Antiviral, and Antimicrobial Activity of 1,2,4-Triazole Thioglycoside Derivatives

Abstract

The reaction of 5-(2-methylthio)phenyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol with glucosyl, galactosyl, lactosyl bromide, and peracetylated ribose under the conventional and microwave irradiation methods afforded the corresponding S-glycosides. Deacetylation of S-glycosides gave the corresponding deacetylated derivatives. Reaction of 5-(2-methylthio)phenyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol with 4-acetoxybutyl bromide, 2-acetoxyethoxymethyl bromide, 3-chloropropanol, 1,3-dichloroopropan-2-ol, epichlorohydrin, allyl bromide, and propargayl bromide gave the corresponding S-acyclonucleosides, which were deacetylated to give the corresponding deacetylated compounds. All the newly synthesized compounds were characterized by the IR, ¹H, ¹³C NMR, and elemental analyses. Some of these compounds were screened for their antiviral and antimicrobial activity.

Synthesis of New Modified with Rhodamine B Peptides for Antiviral Protection of Textile Materials

Here we report on the synthesis and characterization of three new N-modified analogues of hemorphin-4 with rhodamine B. Modified with chloroacetyl, chloride cotton fabric has been dyed and color coordinates of the obtained textile materials were determined. Antiviral and virucidal activities of both the peptide-rhodamine B compounds and the dyed textile material were studied. Basic physicochemical properties (acid-base behavior, solvent influence, kinetics) related to the elucidation of structural activity of the new modified peptides based on their steric open/closed ring effect were studied. The obtained results lead to the conclusion that in protic solvent with change in pH of the environment, direct control over the dyeing of textiles can be achieved. Both the new hybrid peptide compounds and the modification of functionalized textile materials with these bioactive hemorphins showed virucidal activity against the human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV-S2) and human adenovirus serotype 5 (HAdV-5) for different time intervals (30 and 60 min) and the most active compound was Rh-3.     

Antimicrobial and Cytotoxic Activity of Novel Imidazolium-Based Ionic Liquids

In this study, a series of 10 novel 1-methyl-3-octyloxymethylimidazolium derivatives carrying various anionic moieties (4-hydroxybenzenesulfonate, benzenesulfonate, carvacroloxyacetate, chloride, formate, propionate, thymoloxyacetate, vanillinoxyacetate, eugenoloxyacetate and trimethylacetate) were synthesized. Compounds were tested for their antimicrobial activity against six microbe strains (Staph-ylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, and Candida albicans), cytotoxic activity against the mouse melanoma cell line (B16 F10), and surface active properties. All synthesized compounds exhibited antimicrobial activity (expressed as minimum inhibitory concentration; in range of 0.10–27.82 mM/L), especially against Gram-positive bacteria and fungi. In addition, all compounds demonstrated cytotoxicity on B16 F10 cells (IC50 values 0.0101–0.0197 mM/L). Surface properties defined as CMC values, ranged from 0.72 to 32.35 mmol L-1. The obtained results provide an insight into the promising activity of a novel group of quaternary imidazolium derivatives having ionic liquid properties. The most potent compounds, containing a thymoloxyacetate and eugenoloxyacetate moiety, could be candidates for new antimicrobial agents or surfactants.     

Discovery of Cysteine and Its Derivatives as Novel Antiviral and Antifungal Agents

Based on the structure of the natural product cysteine, a series of thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acids were designed and synthesized. All target compounds bearing thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid were characterized by ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, and HRMS techniques. The antiviral and antifungal activities of cysteine and its derivatives were evaluated in vitro and in vivo. The results of anti-TMV activity revealed that all compounds exhibited moderate to excellent activities against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) at the concentration of 500 μg/mL. The compounds cysteine (1), 3–4, 7, 10, 13, 20, 23, and 24 displayed higher anti-TMV activities than the commercial plant virucide ribavirin (inhibitory rate: 40, 40, and 38% at 500 μg/mL for inactivation, curative, and protection activity in vivo, respectively), especially compound 3 (inhibitory rate: 51%, 47%, and 49% at 500 μg/mL for inactivation, curative, and protection activity in vivo, respectively) with excellent antiviral activity emerged as a new antiviral candidate. Antiviral mechanism research by TEM exhibited that compound 3 could inhibit virus assembly by aggregated the 20S protein disk. Molecular docking results revealed that compound 3 with higher antiviral activities than that of compound 24 did show stronger interaction with TMV CP. Further fungicidal activity tests against 14 kinds of phytopathogenic fungi revealed that these cysteine derivatives displayed broad-spectrum fungicidal activities. Compound 16 exhibited higher antifungal activities against Cercospora arachidicola Hori and Alternaria solani than commercial fungicides carbendazim and chlorothalonil, which emerged as a new candidate for fungicidal research.

The Effects of Natural Products and Environmental Conditions on Antimicrobial Resistance

Due to the extensive application of antibiotics in medical and farming practices, the continued diversification and development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has attracted serious public concern. With the emergence of AMR and the failure to treat bacterial infections, it has led to an increased interest in searching for novel antibacterial substances such as natural antimicrobial substances, including microbial volatile compounds (MVCs), plant-derived compounds, and antimicrobial peptides. However, increasing observations have revealed that AMR is associated not only with the use of antibacterial substances but also with tolerance to heavy metals existing in nature and being used in agriculture practice. Additionally, bacteria respond to environmental stresses, e.g., nutrients, oxidative stress, envelope stress, by employing various adaptive strategies that contribute to the development of AMR and the survival of bacteria. Therefore, we need to elucidate thoroughly the factors and conditions affecting AMR to take comprehensive measures to control the development of AMR.     

Discovery of Hyrtinadine A and Its Derivatives as Novel Antiviral and Anti-Phytopathogenic-Fungus Agents

Plant diseases caused by viruses and fungi have a serious impact on the quality and yield of crops, endangering food security. The use of new, green, and efficient pesticides is an important strategy to increase crop output and deal with the food crisis. Ideally, the best pesticide innovation strategy is to find and use active compounds from natural products. Here, we took the marine natural product hyrtinadine A as the lead compound, and designed, synthesized, and systematically investigated a series of its derivatives for their antiviral and antifungal activities. Compound 8a was found to have excellent antiviral activity against the tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) (inactivation inhibitory effect of 55%/500 μg/mL and 19%/100 μg/mL, curative inhibitory effect of 52%/500 μg/mL and 22%/100 μg/mL, and protection inhibitory effect of 57%/500 μg/mL and 26%/100 μg/mL) and emerged as a novel antiviral candidate. These compound derivatives displayed broad-spectrum fungicidal activities against 14 kinds of phytopathogenic fungi at 50 μg/mL and the antifungal activities of compounds 5c, 5g, 6a, and 6e against Rhizoctonia cerealis are higher than that of the commercial fungicide chlorothalonil. Therefore, this study could lay a foundation for the application of hyrtinadine A derivatives in plant protection.
