Synthesis of a Photolabeling Probe for the Study of Antiviral Mechanism of Ribavirin

Ribavirin has been used in urgency to treat SARS patients recently. In order to study its antiviral mechanism by photolabeling approach, we have synthesized and characterized 5-azido-1-β-D-ribofuranosyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxiamide 1 as a photolabeling probe of ribavirin. The azidotriazole nucleoside showed rapid and clean photochemical reaction, suggesting that 1 is a promising probe to study the antiviral mechanism ofribarivin by photolabeling.

Synthesis of Phospholipid?Ribavirin Conjugates

New conjugates of antiviral nucleoside Ribavirin (=1‐(β‐D ‐ribofuranosyl)‐1H‐1,2,4‐triazole‐3‐carboxamide; 1 ) with 1,2‐ and 1,3‐diacyl glycerophosphates have been synthesized by the phosphoramidite method.

In silico 3-D structure prediction and molecular docking studies of inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase from Plasmodium falciparum

Growing resistance in malarial parasites, particularly in Plasmodium falciparum needs a serious search for the discovery of novel drug targets. Inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) is an important target for antimalarial drug discovery process in P. falciparum for the treatment of malaria. In the absence of x-ray crystal structure of this enzyme, homology modeling proved to be a reasonable alternate to study substrate binding mechanisms of this enzyme. In this study, a 3-D homology model for P. falciparum IMPDH was constructed taking human IMPDH (PDB code 1NF7) as template. Furthermore, an in-silico combinatorial library of ribavirin (RVP) derivatives (1347 molecules) was designed and virtually screened for ligands having selectively greater binding affinity with Plasmodium falciparum IMPDH relative to human IMPDH II. A total of five Ribavirin derivatives were identified as having greater binding affinity (−126 to −108 Kcal/mol and −9.4 to −8.6 Kcal/mol) with Plasmodium falciparum IMPDH. These five inhibitors should be used as selective and potent for Plasmodium falciparum IMPDH. Such type of study will provide information to synthetic medicinal chemist to enhance the potential of compounds (RVP derivatives) as chemotherapeutic agents to fight against the increasing burden of malarial infections.

Quantitation of ribavirin in human plasma and red blood cells using LC–MS/MS

LC–MS/MS has been applied for the rapid determination of the nucleoside analogue ribavirin in human plasma and red blood cells. The incorporation of ribavirin to the erythrocytes has been assayed after in vitro incubation of the cells at different concentrations of the antiviral drug. After protein precipitation, samples were injected into a C₈ column, achieving a complete separation of ribavirin from the endogenous isobaric compound uridine. Calibration ranges varied from 10 to 10 000 ng/mL in plasma and from 0.2 to 200 ng/cell pellet in red blood cells. Precision and accuracy values were always below 10 and 13%, respectively, in all assayed matrices. Ribavirin was demonstrated to remain unchanged after short and long time storage. No matrix effects could be assessed for the analyzed matrices. The developed method has been fully validated. Monitoring of ribavirin concentration in red blood cells in addition to the classic plasma monitoring of the drug could help to explain its efficacy and safety profiles in patients.

Effects of Triton X-100 on Properties of Hemoglobin and Controlled Release of Drug in Hemoglobin/Ribavirin/H2O System

Effects of Triton X-100 on the properties of hemoglobin (Hb) and on the controlled release of ribavirin were studied using the methods of UV-Vis spectrum, fluorescence spectrum, zeta potential, conductivity, high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC), and image morphology in Hb/ribavirin/H₂O system. With the increase of concentration of Triton X-100 in the system, the intrinsic fluorescence intensity, synchronous fluorescence intensity, fluorescence polarization, zeta potential, and morphology of Hb all changed gradually, and the ribavirin located on the Hb surface was dissociated and released out. When the concentration of Triton X-100 was higher than 1×10⁻⁵ mol·L⁻¹, the stronger interaction of Triton X-100 with Hb was predominant. Hb was unfolded and denaturized. A little Triton X-100 can protect Hb from the effects of ribavirin.
