Abstract
The maturation of HIV-1 virions is a crucial process in viral replication. Although T-cells are a primary source of virus production, much of our understanding of virion maturation comes from studies using the HEK293T human embryonic kidney cell line. Notably, there is a lack of comparative analyses between T-cells and HEK293T cells in terms of virion maturation efficiency in existing literature. We previously developed an advanced virion visualization system based on the FRET principle, enabling the effective distinction between immature and mature virions via fluorescence microscopy. In this study, we utilized pseudotyped, single-round infectious viruses tagged with FRET labels (HIV-1 Gag-iFRET∆Env) derived from Jurkat (a human T-lymphocyte cell line) and HEK293T cells to evaluate their virion maturation rates. HEK293T-derived virions demonstrated a maturity rate of 81.79%, consistent with other studies and our previous findings. However, virions originating from Jurkat cells demonstrated a significantly reduced maturation rate of 68.67% (p < 0.0001). Correspondingly, viruses produced from Jurkat cells exhibited significantly reduced infectivity compared to those derived from HEK293T cells, with the relative infectivity measured at 65.3%. This finding is consistent with the observed relative maturation rate of viruses produced by Jurkat cells. These findings suggest that initiation of virion maturation directly correlates with viral infectivity. Our observation highlights the dynamic nature of virus-host interactions and their implications for virion production and infectivity.

Abstract
2'-Deoxy-2'-β-fluoroadenosines bearing 4'-azido or 4'-ethynyl groups designed for the treatment of HIV-1 infection have been synthesized. All these compounds possess nanomolar anti-HIV-1 activity, with the 4'-ethynyl-2-fluoroadenosine analog 1c (CL-197) being the most potent compound with low cytotoxicity (EC50 = 0.9 nM, CC50 > 100 μM). It also shows potent inhibitory activities on drug resistant and clinical HIV-1 strains. Oral administration of 1c to Beagle dogs resulted in high levels of its bioactive form 1c-TP in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, the HIV-1 target cells, where the resulting triphosphate exhibited a long-term intracellular retention and could prevent HIV-1 infection for an extended time. 1c displayed low in vivo toxicity and favorable pharmacokinetics profiles in Sprague-Dawley rats. The preclinical data support further development of 1c as a highly potent and orally bioavailable clinical candidate to treat HIV-1 infection. Currently, CL-197 is in clinical trials in China (registration number: CXHL2200529).

A facile method for synthesizing water-soluble and superior sustained release anti-HIV prodrug SCs-d4T. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2014; 49:84-92.

Abstract
To efficiently deliver stavudine (d4T) for AIDS therapy, chitosan-stavudine conjugate (Cs-d4T) was synthesized. However, its poor water-solubility limited its clinical application. In this study, a sulphonated chitosan-stavudine conjugate (SCs-d4T) was synthesized with a mild SO3·Py complex sulphonation strategy. Chemical characteristics and morphology of Cs-d4T and SCs-d4T were performed by NMR, XRD, FTIR, ICP-AES and SEM. SCs-d4T demonstrated satisfactory solubility (106-bold of Cs-d4T solubility), good anti-HIV activity (6-fold of d4T anti-HIV activity), and well sustained release ability. The major release product O-isopropyl-5'-H-phosphonate of d4T (d4T-P-H) showed higher anti-HIV activity than d4T. For further evaluating the influence of linker and sulphonation strategy on anti-HIV activity, chitosan grafted with d4T by succinyl linker (Cs-sd4T) and SCs-d4T sulphonated by oleum were also prepared. The result showed that the O-isopropyl monophosphate linker of Cs-d4T and SO3·Py complex sulphonation strategy revealed higher anti-HIV activity than succinyl linker of Cs-sd4T and oleum sulphonation strategy, respectively.

Abstract
A novel approach to improve the antiviral efficacy of nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) and reduce their side effects was developed by constructing a nanosized NRTI monophosphate-polymer conjugate using d4T as a model NRTI. Firstly, a novel chitosan-O-isopropyl-5'-O-d4T monophosphate conjugate with a phosphoramidate linkage was efficiently synthesized through Atherton-Todd reaction under mild conditions. The anti-HIV activity and cytotoxicity of the polymeric conjugate were evaluated in MT4 cell line. Then the conjugate nanoparticles were prepared by the process of ionotropic gelation between TPP and chitosan-d4T conjugate to improve their delivery to viral reservoirs, and their physicochemical properties were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS) techniques and X-ray diffraction (XRD). In vitro drug release studies in pH 1.1 and pH 7.4 suggested that both chitosan-d4T conjugate and its nanoparticles prefer to release d4T 5'-(O-isopropyl) monophosphate than free d4T for prolonged periods, which resulted in the enhancement of anti-HIV selectivity of the polymeric conjugate relative to free d4T due to bypassing the metabolic bottleneck of monophosphorylation. Additionally, the crosslinked conjugate nanoparticles can prevent the coupled drug from leaking out of the nanoparticles before entering the target viral reservoirs and provide a mild sustained release of d4T 5'-(O-isopropyl) monophosphate without the burst release. The results suggested that this kind of chitosan-O-isopropyl-5'-O-d4T monophosphate conjugate nano-prodrugs may be used as a targeting and sustained polymeric prodrugs for improving therapy efficacy and reducing side effects in antiretroviral treatment.

Abstract
In an approach to improve the pharmacological properties, safety and pharmacokinetic profiles, and their penetration into HIV reservoirs or sanctuaries, and consequently, the therapeutic potential of the current protease inhibitors (PIs) used in clinics, we investigated the synthesis of various mannose-substituted saquinavir, nelfinavir, and indinavir prodrugs, their in vitro stability with respect to hydrolysis, anti-HIV activity, cytotoxicity, and permeation through a monolayer of Caco-2 cells used as a model of the intestinal barrier. Mannose-derived conjugates were prepared in two steps, in good yields, by condensing an acid derivative of a protected mannose with the PIs, followed by deprotection of the sugar protecting group. With respect to hydrolysis, these PI prodrugs are chemically stable with half-life times in the 50-60 h range that are compatible with an in vivo utilization aimed at improving the absorption/penetration or accumulation of the prodrug in specific cells/tissues and liberation of the active free drug inside HIV-infected cells. These stabilities correlate closely with the low in vitro anti-HIV activity measured for those prodrugs wherein the coupling of mannose to the PIs was performed through the peptidomimetic PI's hydroxyl. Importantly, mannose conjugation to the PIs was further found to improve the absorptive transepithelial transport of saquinavir and indinavir but not of nelfinavir across Caco-2 cell monolayers, by contrast to glucose conjugation which had the opposite effect. The mannose-linked prodrugs of saquinavir and indinavir display therefore a most promising therapeutic potential provided that bioavailability, penetration into the HIV infected macrophages, and HIV-reservoirs of these PIs are improved.

Abstract
A number of nucleoside analogues, consisting of antiviral compounds and agents designed as adenosine A1 receptor agonists, were examined for nucleoside transporter affinity using an in vitro model of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), the rat brain endothelial cell line, RBE4. Structure-activity relationships (SAR) were also performed to identify the key structural requirements for transporter recognition and the suitability of these systems for carrier-mediated strategies to deliver therapeutics across the BBB. Adenosine receptor agonists did not show transport affinity for concentrative nucleoside carriers, but exhibited affinity for equilibrative systems (Ki=10.8-97.9 microM) within the range of Kms for natural substrates. However, none of the antiviral compounds tested in this study showed affinity for either class of nucleoside transporter. SAR studies suggest that the hydroxyl group located at the 3'-position of the ribose moiety is an essential requirement for transporter recognition. This may explain the inability of nucleoside derived anti-viral compounds to use these systems despite the significant structural homology with naturally occurring nucleosides. Sites have also been identified which accommodate structural additions with retention of carrier affinity, suggesting that compounds which fail to penetrate the BBB could be attached to these sites for carrier-mediated delivery using a prodrug strategy.

Abstract
New formamidine-3TC (3TC = 2',3'-dideoxy-3'-thiacytidine) analogues have been synthesized through various methods, and their antiviral activities (HIV, HBV) have been evaluated in vitro. Anti-HIV-1 in acutely infected MT-4 cells and peripheral blood monocellular cells (PBMCs) showed that compounds substituted by N,N-diarylformamidine side chains at the 4-N nucleic base position (compounds 3 and 8-11) had at least equivalent anti-HIV activity as 3TC (EC50 = 0.5 and 11.6 microM, respectively). Moreover, the newly synthesized compounds demonstrated higher anti-HBV activity (EC50 ranging from 0.01 to 0.05 microM) compared to the parent nucleoside 3TC (EC50 = 0.2 microM). It should be underlined that these new promising derivatives inhibited HIV in cells of a macrophage lineage, which are known to be cellular reservoir for HIV. These results were particularly of interest, since the antiviral activities appeared not to be mediated through the formamidine bond hydrolysis and consequently the release of free 3TC. These new analogue series were found to be highly stable to hydrolysis even after prolonged incubation in different biological media (t(1/2) ranged from 48 to 120 h). This enzymatic stability, coupled to the fact that no delay in the antiviral response was observed compared to the free 3TC antiviral response, suggest that this new N,N-diarylformamidine nucleoside series should not be considered as classical prodrugs.

Abstract
A group of unnatural 1-(2-deoxy-beta-D-ribofuranosyl)-2,4-difluorobenzenes having a variety of C-5 substituents (H, Me, F, Cl, Br, I, CF3, CN, NO2, NH2), designed as thymidine mimics, were synthesized for evaluation as anticancer and antiviral agents. The coupling reaction of 3,5-bis-O-(p-chlorobenzoyl)-2-deoxy-alpha-D-ribofuranosyl chloride with an organocadmium reagent [(2,4-difluorophenyl)2Cd] afforded a mixture of the alpha- and beta-anomeric products (alpha:beta = 3:1 to 10:1 ratio). Treatment of the alpha-anomer with BF3.Et2O in nitroethane at 110-120 degrees C for 30 min was developed as an efficient method for epimerization of the major alpha-anomer to the desired beta-anomer. The 5-substituted (H, Me, Cl, I, NH2) beta-anomers exhibited negligible cytotoxicity in a MTT assay (CC50 = 10(-3)-10(-4) M range), relative to thymidine (CC50 = 10(-3)-10(-5) M range), against a variety of cancer cell lines. In contrast, the 5-NO2 derivative was more cytotoxic (CC50 = 10(-5)-10(-6) M range). A number of 5-substituted beta-anomers, and some related alpha-anomers, that were evaluated using a wide variety of antiviral assay systems [HSV-1, HSV-2, varicella-zoster virus (VZV), vaccinia virus, vesicular stomatitis, cytomegalovirus (CMV) and human immunodeficiency (HIV-1, HIV-2) viruses], showed that this class of unnatural C-aryl nucleoside mimics are inactive antiviral agents.

Abstract
A group of 4-[1-(2-deoxy-β-D-ribofuranosyl)]-derivatives of 5-fluoroaniline possessing a variety of aryl C-2 substituents (6a R = H, 6b R = F, 6c R = Me) were synthesized. Accordingly, a Heck-type coupling reaction of the 4-iodoaniline derivatives (13ac) with the bis(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)glycal (11) in the presence of Pd(OAc)2 and Ph3As, followed by removal of the tert-butyldimethylsilyl protection groups using n-Bu4N+F-, yielded the corresponding 4-(β-D-glycero-pentofuran-3-ulos-1-yl)aniline derivatives (14ac) having a C-3 C=O in the sugar ring. Reduction of the C-3 C=O compounds (14ac) using NaB(OAc)3H afforded the target 4-[1-(2-deoxy-β-D-ribofuranosyl)]-derivatives of the respective 2-substituted-5-fluoroaniline (6ac). The deoxycytidine mimic, 3-fluoro-4-[1-(2-deoxy-β-D-ribofuranosyl)]aniline (6a), in which the cytosine ring of deoxycytidine is replaced by a 4-(3-fluoroaniline) ring system, was inactive as an anticancer agent against a variety of tumor cell lines, and as an antihuman immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1, HIV-2) agent. The failure of this unnatural deoxycytidine mimic (6a) to exhibit anticancer-antiviral activity may be due to its inability to undergo phosphorylation by host cell- and virus-induced kinases.Key words: fluoroanilines, deoxycytidine mimics, anticancer-antihuman immunodeficiency virus (HIV) evaluation.
