Design, synthesis, and evaluation of dioxane-based antiviral agents targeted against the Sindbis virus capsid protein
Abstract
Dioxane-based antiviral agents targeted to the hydrophobic binding pocket of Sindbis virus capsid protein were designed by computer graphics molecular modeling and synthesized. Virus production using SIN-IRES-Luc and capsid assembly were monitored to evaluate antiviral activity. A compound with a three-carbon linker chain connecting two dioxane moieties inhibited virus production by 50% at a concentration of 40 microM, while (R)-hydroxymethyldioxane inhibited virus production by 50% at a concentration of 1 microM. Both compounds were not cytotoxic in uninfected BHK cells at concentrations of 1mM.
