Stabilization of human rhinovirus serotype 2 against pH-induced conformational change by antiviral compounds.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Four WIN compounds with anti-picornavirus activities were tested for their ability to stabilize human rhinovirus serotype 2 (HRV-2) against low pH-induced conformational changes in vitro, as determined by specific immunoprecipitation. These results were compared to the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) as measured in a plaque reduction assay. A direct relationship was observed between the concentration of the compound that prevented the low pH-induced conformational changes and the MIC, indicating that stabilization is an important element in the mode of action of these drugs against HRV-2.

Synthesis and anti-rhinovirus properties of fluoro-substituted flavonoids.
Fluoro-substituted flavones and 2-styrylchromones, related to natural and synthetic flavonoids previously described, were prepared, characterized and tested for anti-rhinovirus activity. Structural elucidation of the new compounds was performed by IR, NMR spectra and X-ray crystal structure analysis for 6-fluoro-3-hydroxy-2-styrylchromone. The antiviral potency was evaluated by a plaque reducti...
متن کاملA novel basis of capsid stabilization by antiviral compounds.
Picornaviruses are inactivated by a family of hydrophobic drugs that bind at an internal site in the viral capsid and inhibit viral uncoating. A basis for the capsid stabilization previously unrecognized is revealed by molecular dynamics simulations of the antiviral drug WIN52084s bound to a hydrophobic pocket of solvated human rhinovirus 14. Isothermal compressibilities of the complex and huma...
متن کاملUncoating of human rhinovirus serotype 2 from late endosomes.
The internalization pathway and mechanism of uncoating of human rhinovirus serotype 2 (HRV2), a minor-group human rhinovirus, were investigated. Kinetic analysis revealed a late endosomal compartment as the site of capsid modification from D to C antigenicity. The conformational change as well as the infection was prevented by the specific V-ATPase inhibitor bafilomycin A1. A requirement for AT...
متن کاملStructural analysis of a series of antiviral agents complexed with human rhinovirus 14.
The binding to human rhinovirus 14 of a series of eight antiviral agents that inhibit picornaviral uncoating after entry into host cells has been characterized crystallographically. All of these bind into the same hydrophobic pocket within the viral protein VP1 beta-barrel structure, although the orientation and position of each compound within the pocket was found to differ. The compounds caus...

Bacillus pumilus ribonuclease (binase) was shown to be a promising antiviral agent in animal models and cell cultures. However, the mode of its antiviral action remains unknown. To assess the binase effect on intracellular viral RNA we have selected single stranded negative- and positive-sense RNA viruses, influenza virus, and rhinovirus, respectively, which annually cause respiratory illnesses...
