Abstract
Viral infections are the most important health concern nowadays to mankind, which is unexpectedly increasing the health complications and fatality rate worldwide. The recent viral infection outbreak developed a pressing need for small molecules that can be quickly deployed for the control/treatment of re-emerging or new emerging viral infections. Numerous viruses, including the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis, influenza, SARS-CoV-1, SARS-CoV-2, and others, are still challenging due to emerging resistance to known drugs. Therefore, there is always a need to search for new antiviral small molecules that can combat viral infection with new modes of action. This review highlighted recent progress in developing new antiviral molecules based on natural product-inspired scaffolds. Herein, the structure-activity relationship of the FDA-approved drugs along with the molecular docking studies of selected compounds have been discussed against several target proteins. The findings of new small molecules as neuraminidase inhibitors, other than known drug scaffolds, Anti-HIV and SARS-CoV are incorporated in this review paper.

Structurally various p-terphenyls with neuraminidase inhibitory from a sponge derived fungus Aspergillus sp. SCSIO41315. Bioorg Chem 2023; 132:106357. [PMID: 36642018 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2023.106357] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2022] [Revised: 11/18/2022] [Accepted: 01/08/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2023]
Abstract
Guided by Global Natural Products Social molecular networking, 14 new p-terphenyl derivatives, asperterphenyls A-N (1-14), together with 20 known p-terphenyl derivatives (15-34), were obtained from a sponge derived fungus Aspergillus sp. SCSIO41315. Among them, new compounds 2-8 and 15-17 were ten pairs of enantiomers. Comprehensive methods such as chiral-phase HPLC analysis, ECD calculations and X-ray diffraction analysis were applied to determine the absolute configurations. Asperterphenyls B (2) and C (3) represented the first reported natural p-terphenyl derivatives possessing a dicarboxylic acid system. Asperterphenyl A (1) displayed neuraminidase inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 1.77 ± 0.53 µM and could efficiently inhibit infection of multiple strains of H1N1 with IC50 values from 0.67 ± 0.28 to 1.48 ± 0.60 µM through decreasing viral plaque formation in a dose-dependent manner, which suggested that asperterphenyl A (1) might be exploited as a potential antiviral compound in the pharmaceutical fields.

Abstract
Neuraminidase (NA) is an important target for the treatment of influenza. In this study, a new lead NA inhibitor, 4 (ZINC01121127), was discovered by pharmacophore-based virtual screening and molecular dynamic (MD) simulation. Some novel NA inhibitors containing thiophene ring were synthesized by optimizing the skeleton of the lead compound 4. Compound 4b had the most potent inhibitory activity against NA (IC50 = 0.03 μM), which was better than the positive control oseltamivir carboxylate (IC50 = 0.06 μM). 4b (EC50 = 1.59 μM) also exhibits excellent antiviral activity against A/chicken/Hubei/327/2004 (H5N1-DW), which is superior to the reference drug OSC (EC50 = 5.97 μM). Molecular docking study shows that the thiophene moiety plays an essential role in compound 4b, which can bind well to the active site of NA. The good activity of 4b may be also ascribed to the extending of quinoline ring into the 150-cavity. The results of this study may provide an insightful help for the development of new NA inhibitors.

Design, synthesis, and bioassay of 4-thiazolinone derivatives as influenza neuraminidase inhibitors. Eur J Med Chem 2021; 213:113161.

Abstract
A series of 4-thiazolinone derivatives (D1-D58) were designed and synthesized. All of the derivatives were evaluated in vitro for neuraminidase (NA) inhibitory activities against influenza virus A (H1N1), and the inhibitory activities of the five most potent compounds were further evaluated on NA from two different influenza viral subtypes (H3N2 and B), and then their in vitro anti-viral activities were evaluated using the cytopathic effect (CPE) reduction assay. The results showed that the majority of the target compounds exhibited moderate to good NA inhibitory activity. Compound D18 presented the most potent inhibitory activity with IC50 values of 13.06 μM against influenza H1N1 subtype. Among the selected compounds, D18 and D41 turned out to be the most potent inhibitors against influenza virus H3N2 subtype (IC50 = 15.00 μM and IC50 = 14.97 μM, respectively). D25 was the most potent compound against influenza B subtype (IC50 = 16.09 μM). In addition, D41 showed low toxicity and greater potency than reference compounds Oseltamivir and Amantadine against N1-H275Y variant in cellular assays. The structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis showed that introducing 4-CO2H, 4-OH, 3-OCH3-4-OH substituted benzyl methylene can greatly improve the activity of 4-thiazolinones. Further SAR analysis indicated that 4-thiazolinone and ferulic acid fragments are necessary fragments of target compounds for inhibiting NA. Molecular docking was performed to study the interaction between compound D41 and the active site of NA. This study may providing important information for new drug development for anti-influenza virus including mutant influenza virus.

Abstract
Background:
Acinetobacter baumannii is a common infectious agent in hospitals. New antimicrobial agents are identified and prepared to combat these bacterial pathogens. In this context, the blocking potentials of a series of synthesized N-heterocyclic compounds, Cu/Fe3O4@SiO2 nanocomposites, glycine, poly-L-lysine, nisin and hydroalcoholic extracts of Trachyspermum ammi, Curcuma longa and green tea catechins were evaluated against non-resistant and multidrug-resistant strains of A. baumannii. Methods: Solutions of heterocyclic derivatives and hydroalcoholic extracts of Trachyspermum ammi, Curcuma longa and green tea catechins were prepared at initial concentration of 10240 μg ml-1 in 10% DMSO. Other compounds were dissolved in water at the same concentrations. Their in vitro inhibitory activity was assessed by determination of IZD, MIC and MBC values. Results: Glycine, poly-L-lysine, nisin, Curcuma longa and green tea catechins extracts, and thiazoles 3a, 3d and 3f were ineffective at their initial concentrations. Heterocyclic derivatives 7a-f, 3c, 3e and 3h, Cu/Fe3O4@SiO2 nanocomposites and Trachyspermum ammi extract could block the growth of bacterial strains with IZDs (7.40-15.51 mm), MICs (32-1024 µg ml-1) and MBCs (128-2048 µg ml-1). Conclusion: Among synthetic chemicals and natural products, the best antimicrobial effects were recorded with (E)-2-(5-acetyl-4-methylthiazol-2-yl)-2-(thiazolidin-2-ylidene)acetonitrile (7b) and the extract of Trachyspermum ammi. It is imperative that their toxic and histopathologic effects were assessed in future researches. It is predicted that the essential oil of Trachyspermum ammi will improve its antibacterial activities.

Abstract
Neuraminidase has been considered as an important target for designing agents against influenza viruses. In a discovery of anti-influenza agents with epigoitrin as the initial lead compound, a series of 1-amino-2-alkanols were synthesized and biologically evaluated. The in vitro evaluation indicated that (E)-1-amino-4-phenylbut-3-en-2-ol (C1) had better inhibitory activities than 2-amino-1-arylethan-1-ol derivatives. To our surprise, sulfonation of C1 with 4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl chloride afforded more active inhibitor II with up to 6.4 μM IC50 value against neuraminidase. Furthermore, docking of inhibitor II into the active site of NA found that the H atoms in both NH2 and OH groups of inhibitor II were the key factors for potency. Molecular docking research did not explained very well the observed structure-activity relationship (SAR) from amino acid residue level, but also aided the discovery of (E)-1-amino-4-phenylbut-3-en-2-ol derivatives as novel and potent NA inhibitors.
