چکیده
Polyomavirus BK is an important pathogen in transplant recipients with no effective therapy. This study demonstrates that alkoxyalkyl esters of (S)-9-(3-hydroxy-2-phosphonylmethoxypropyl)adenine and fatty acid derivatives of 9-[2-(phosphonomethyoxy)ethyl]adenine (P393 and P405) are potent and selective inhibitors of BK virus replication in vitro, with a 50% effective concentration in the micromolar-to-nanomolar range.

Structural basis for activation of the therapeutic l-nucleoside analogs 3TC and troxacitabine by human deoxycytidine kinase
L-nucleoside analogs represent an important class of small molecules for treating both viral infections and cancers. These pro-drugs achieve pharmacological activity only after enzyme-catalyzed conversion to their tri-phosphorylated forms. Herein, we report the crystal structures of human deoxycytidine kinase (dCK) in complex with the L-nucleosides (-)-beta-2',3'-dideoxy-3'-thiacytidine (3TC)--...
متن کاملRibavirin antagonizes the in vitro anti-hepatitis C virus activity of 2'-C-methylcytidine, the active component of valopicitabine.
Ribavirin antagonizes the in vitro anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) activity of the pyrimidine nucleoside analogue 2'-C-methylcytidine, the active component of the experimental anti-HCV drug valopicitabine. In contrast, the combination of ribavirin with either the purine nucleoside analogue 2'-C-methyladenosine or the HCV protease inhibitor VX-950 resulted in an additive antiviral activity. These f...
متن کاملSYNTHESIS OF PURINE ACYCLONUCLEOSIDES HAVING PRONOUNCED ANTIVIRAL ACTIVITY
The synthesis of a series of purine analogues of the acyclonucleoside compound 14 (acyclovir) is described. Compounds in this series have been shown to have pronounced activity against herpes virus-type l(HSV-1). The anti-viral activities of other analogs whose syntheses were recently reported [1] by us are also described
متن کاملSuccessful Treatment of BK Virus Hemorrhagic Cystitis (HC) Post Allogenic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation with Low Dose Cidofovir.
BK virus (BKV) hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) is a serious cause of morbidity and mortality after allogeneic hematopoietic SCT (allo-HSCT) in patients with hematological malignancies. Around half of allogenic HSCT patients present with BKV viruria at some point after HSCT; about 5-40% of these patients subsequently develop active HC. Supportive care including bladder irrigation, blood transfusions a...
متن کاملAssessment of the effect of phosphorylated metabolites of anti-human immunodeficiency virus and anti-hepatitis B virus pyrimidine analogs on the behavior of human deoxycytidylate deaminase.
Deoxycytidylate deaminase, catalyzing the conversion of dCMP to dUMP, is an important enzyme in the de novo synthesis of thymidine nucleotides. It also may be involved in the action, as well as the metabolism of anticancer agents. Recently, several L- and D-configuration pyrimidine deoxynucleoside analogs were found to be potent antiviral and antitumor agents. Their interaction with dCMP deamin...
