Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) causes one of the most dangerous diseases-acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). An estimated about 40 million people are currently living with HIV worldwide, most of whom are already on antiretroviral therapy. This makes the development of effective drugs to combat this virus very relevant. Currently, one of the dynamically developing areas of organic and medicinal chemistry is the synthesis and identification of new compounds capable of inhibiting HIV-1 integrase-one of the HIV enzymes. A significant number of studies on this topic are published annually. Many compounds inhibiting integrase incorporate pyridine core. Therefore, this review is an analysis of the literature on the methods for the synthesis of pyridine-containing HIV-1 integrase inhibitors since 2003 to the present.

Abstract
Reverse transcriptase (RT) plays an indispensable role in the replication of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) through its associated polymerase and ribonuclease H (RNase H) activities during the viral RNA genome transformation into proviral DNA. Due to the fact that HIV is a highly mutagenic virus and easily resistant to single-target RT inhibitors, dual inhibitors targeting HIV RT associated polymerase and RNase H have been developed. These dual inhibitors have the advantages of increasing efficacy, reducing drug resistance, drug-drug interactions, and cytotoxicity, as well as improving patient compliance. In this review, we summarize recent advances in polymerase/RNase H dual inhibitors focusing on drug design strategies, and structure-activity relationships and share new insights into developing anti-HIV drugs.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing as of mid-2022 and requires the development of new therapeutic drugs, because the existing clinically approved drugs are limited. In this work, seven derivatives of epoxybenzooxocinopyridine were synthesized and tested for the ability to inhibit the replication of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in cell cultures. Among the described compounds, six were not able to suppress the SARS-CoV-2 virus’ replication. One compound, which is a derivative of epoxybenzooxocinopyridine with an attached side group of 3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2-one, demonstrated antiviral activity comparable to that of one pharmaceutical drug. The described compound is a prospective lead substance, because the half-maximal effective concentration is 2.23 μg/μL, which is within a pharmacologically achievable range.

Abstract
The significant threat to humanity is HIV infection, and it is uncertain whether a definitive treatment or a safe HIV vaccine is. HIV-1 is continually evolving and resistant to commonly used HIV-resistant medications, presenting significant obstacles to HIV infection management. The drug resistance adds to the need for new anti-HIV drugs; it chooses ingenious approaches to fight the emerging virus. Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART), a multi-target approach for specific therapies, has proved effective in AIDS treatment. Therefore, it is a dynamic system with high prescription tension, increased risk of medication reactions, and adverse effects, leading to poor compliance with patients. In the HIV-1 lifecycle, two critical enzymes with high structural and functional analogies are reverse transcriptase (RT) and integrase (IN), which can be interpreted as druggable targets for modern dual-purpose inhibitors. Designed multifunctional ligand (DML) is a new technique that recruited many targets to be achieved by one chemical individual. A single chemical entity that acts for multiple purposes can be much more successful than a complex multidrug program. The production of these multifunctional ligands as antiretroviral drugs is valued with the advantage that the viral-replication process may end in two or more phases. This analysis will discuss the RT-IN dual-inhibitory scaffolds' developments documented so far.

Abstract
![]()
Novel anti-HIV agents
are still needed to overcome resistance issues,
in particular inhibitors acting against novel viral targets. The ribonuclease
H (RNase H) function of the reverse transcriptase (RT) represents
a validated and promising target, and no inhibitor has reached the
clinical pipeline yet. Here, we present rationally designed non-diketo
acid selective RNase H inhibitors (RHIs) based on the quinolinone
scaffold starting from former dual integrase (IN)/RNase H quinolinonyl
diketo acids. Several derivatives were synthesized and tested against
RNase H and viral replication and found active at micromolar concentrations.
Docking studies within the RNase H catalytic site, coupled with site-directed
mutagenesis, and Mg2+ titration experiments demonstrated
that our compounds coordinate the Mg2+ cofactor and interact
with amino acids of the RNase H domain that are highly conserved among
naïve and treatment-experienced patients. In general, the new
inhibitors influenced also the polymerase activity of RT but were
selective against RNase H vs the IN enzyme.

Bioorg Chem 2019; 92:103222. [PMID: 31499260 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2019.103222] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2019] [Revised: 08/16/2019] [Accepted: 08/26/2019] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
Inhibition of carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) has clinical importance for the treatment of several diseases. They participate in crucial regulatory mechanisms for balancing intracellular and extracellular pH of the cells. Among CA isoforms, selective inhibition of hCA IX has been linked to decreasing of cell growth for both primary tumors and metastases. The discovery of novel CA inhibitors as anticancer drug candidates is a current topic in medicinal chemistry. 1,3,5-Trisubstituted pyrazoles carrying benzenesulfonamide were evaluated against physiologically abundant cytosolic hCA I and hCA II and trans-membrane, tumor-associated hCA IX isoforms by a stopped-flow CO2 hydrase method. Their in vitro cytotoxicities were screened against human oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cell lines (HSC-2) and human mesenchymal normal oral cells (HGF) via 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-Diphenyltetrazolium Bromide (MTT) test. Compounds 6, 8, 9, 11, and 12 showed low nanomolar hCA II inhibitory potency with Ki < 10 nM, whereas compounds 9 and 12 displayed Ki < 10 nM against hCA IX isoenzyme when compared with reference Acetazolamide (AZA). Compound 9, 4-(3-(hydrazinecarbonyl)-5-(4-nitrophenyl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)benzenesulfonamide, can be considered as the most selective hCA IX inhibitor over off-target cytosolic isoenzymes hCA I and hCA II with the lowest Ki value of 2.3 nM and selectivity ratios of 3217 (hCA I/hCA IX) and 3.9 (hCA II/hCA IX). Isoform selectivity profiles were also discussed using in silico modelling. Cytotoxicity results pointed out that compounds 5 (CC50 = 37.7 μM) and 11 (CC50 = 58.1 μM) can be considered as lead cytotoxic compounds since they were more cytotoxic than 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) and Methotrexate (MTX).

Abstract
HIV infection is a major challenge to mankind and a definitive cure or a viable vaccine for HIV is still elusive. HIV-1 is constantly evolving and developing resistant against clinically used anti-HIV drugs thus posing serious hurdles in the treatment of HIV infection. This prompts the need to developed new anti-HIV drugs; preferentially adopting intelligent ways to counteract an evolving virus. Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy (HAART): a strategy involving multiple targeting through various drugs has proven beneficial in the management of AIDS. However, it is a complex regimen with high drug load, increased risk of drug interactions and adverse effects, which lead to poor patient compliance. Reverse transcriptase (RT) and Integrase (IN) are two pivotal enzymes in HIV-1 lifecycle with high structural and functional analogy to be perceived as drug-able targets for novel dual-purpose inhibitors. Designed multi-functional ligand (DML) is a modern strategy by which multiple targets can be exploited using a single chemical entity. A single chemical entity acting on multiple targets can be much more effective than a complex multi-drug regimen. The development of such multifunctional ligands is highly valued in anti-HIV drug discovery with the proposed advantage of being able to stop two or more stages of viral replication cycle. This review will encompass the evolution of the RT-IN dual inhibitory scaffolds reported so far and the contribution made by the leading research groups over the years in this field.

Abstract
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is an opportunistic pathogen causing a variety of severe viral infections, including irreversible congenital disabilities. Nowadays, HCMV infection is treated by inhibiting the viral DNA polymerase. However, DNA polymerase inhibitors have several drawbacks. An alternative strategy is to use compounds against the packaging machinery or terminase complex, which is essential for viral replication. Our discovery that raltegravir (1), a human immunodeficiency virus drug, inhibits the nuclease function of UL89, one of the protein subunits of the complex, prompted us to further develop terminase inhibitors. On the basis of the structure of 1, a library of diketoacid (α,γ-DKA and β,δ-DKA) derivatives were synthesized and tested for UL89-C nuclease activity. The mode of action of α,γ-DKA derivatives on the UL89 active site was elucidated by using X-ray crystallography, molecular docking, and in vitro experiments. Our studies identified α,γ-DKA derivative 14 able to inhibit UL89 in vitro in the low micromolar range, making 14 an optimal candidate for further development and virus-infected cell assay.

Abstract
HIV-1 integrase (IN) inhibitors are one of the most recent innovations in the treatment of HIV infection. The selection of drug resistance viral strains is however a still open issue requiring constant efforts to identify new anti-HIV-1 drugs. Pyrrolyl diketo acid (DKA) derivatives inhibit HIV-1 replication by interacting with the Mg2+ cofactors within the HIV-1 IN active site or within the HIV-1 reverse-transcriptase associated ribonuclease H (RNase H) active site. While the interaction mode of pyrrolyl DKAs with the RNase H active site has been recently reported and substantiated by mutagenesis experiments, their interaction within the IN active site still lacks a detailed understanding. In this study, we investigated the binding mode of four pyrrolyl DKAs to the HIV-1 IN active site by molecular modeling coupled with site-directed mutagenesis studies showing that the DKA pyrrolyl scaffold primarily interacts with the IN amino residues P145, Q146 and Q148. Importantly, the tested DKAs demonstrated good effectiveness against HIV-1 Raltegravir resistant Y143A and N155H INs, thus showing an interaction pattern with relevant differences if compared with the first generation IN inhibitors. These data provide precious insights for the design of new HIV inhibitors active on clinically selected Raltegravir resistant variants. Furthermore, this study provides new structural information to modulate IN and RNase H inhibitory activities for development of dual-acting anti-HIV agents.

The Current Case of Quinolones: Synthetic Approaches and Antibacterial Activity. Molecules 2016; 21:268.

Abstract
Quinolones are broad-spectrum synthetic antibacterial drugs first obtained during the synthesis of chloroquine. Nalidixic acid, the prototype of quinolones, first became available for clinical consumption in 1962 and was used mainly for urinary tract infections caused by Escherichia coli and other pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria. Recently, significant work has been carried out to synthesize novel quinolone analogues with enhanced activity and potential usage for the treatment of different bacterial diseases. These novel analogues are made by substitution at different sites--the variation at the C-6 and C-8 positions gives more effective drugs. Substitution of a fluorine atom at the C-6 position produces fluroquinolones, which account for a large proportion of the quinolones in clinical use. Among others, substitution of piperazine or methylpiperazine, pyrrolidinyl and piperidinyl rings also yields effective analogues. A total of twenty six analogues are reported in this review. The targets of quinolones are two bacterial enzymes of the class II topoisomerase family, namely gyrase and topoisomerase IV. Quinolones increase the concentration of drug-enzyme-DNA cleavage complexes and convert them into cellular toxins; as a result they are bactericidal. High bioavailability, relative low toxicity and favorable pharmacokinetics have resulted in the clinical success of fluoroquinolones and quinolones. Due to these superior properties, quinolones have been extensively utilized and this increased usage has resulted in some quinolone-resistant bacterial strains. Bacteria become resistant to quinolones by three mechanisms: (1) mutation in the target site (gyrase and/or topoisomerase IV) of quinolones; (2) plasmid-mediated resistance; and (3) chromosome-mediated quinolone resistance. In plasmid-mediated resistance, the efflux of quinolones is increased along with a decrease in the interaction of the drug with gyrase (topoisomerase IV). In the case of chromosome-mediated quinolone resistance, there is a decrease in the influx of the drug into the cell.

Abstract
HIV-1 integrase (IN) enzyme, one of the three main enzymes of HIV-1, catalyzed the insertion of the viral DNA into the genome of host cells. Because of the lack of its homologue in human cells and its essential role in HIV-1 replication, IN inhibition represents an attractive therapeutic target for HIV-1 treatment. Since identification of IN as a promising therapeutic target, a major progress has been made, which has facilitated and led to the approval of three drugs. This review focused on the structural features of the most important IN inhibitors and categorized them structurally in 10 scaffolds. We also briefly discussed the structural and functional properties of HIV-1 IN and binding modes of IN inhibitors. The SAR analysis of the known IN inhibitors provides some useful clues to the possible future discovery of novel IN inhibitors.

Abstract
A series of N-aryl-naphthylamines, exemplified by the structures 11-16, were chosen for an in-house library screening to assay their ability to disrupt the interaction between the LEDGF cofactor and the HIV integrase. Structure modification led also to design and synthesize new compounds 17a-f. Compounds 11e,h,k,n, 13b, and 14 showed good activity in AlphaScreen assay. The most active compound 11e (IC50 = 2.5 μM) was selected for molecular modeling studies and showed a binding mode similar to the one of the known LEDGIN 8.

Abstract
Bifunctional quinolinonyl DKA derivatives were first described as nonselective inhibitors of 3'-processing (3'-P) and strand transfer (ST) functions of HIV-1 integrase (IN), while 7-aminosubstituted quinolinonyl derivatives were proven IN strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) that also displayed activity against ribonuclease H (RNase H). In this study, we describe the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of new quinolinonyl diketo acid (DKA) derivatives characterized by variously substituted alkylating groups on the nitrogen atom of the quinolinone ring. Removal of the second DKA branch of bifunctional DKAs, and the amino group in position 7 of quinolinone ring combined with a fine-tuning of the substituents on the benzyl group in position 1 of the quinolinone, increased selectivity for IN ST activity. In vitro, the most potent compound was 11j (IC50 = 10 nM), while the most active compounds against HIV infected cells were ester derivatives 10j and 10l. In general, the activity against RNase H was negligible, with only a few compounds active at concentrations higher than 10 μM. The binding mode of the most potent IN inhibitor 11j within the IN catalytic core domain (CCD) is described as well as its binding mode within the RNase H catalytic site to rationalize its selectivity.

Abstract
Reverse transcription is an obligatory step in retrovirus replication in the course of which the retroviral RNA/DNA-dependent DNA polymerase (RT) copies the single-stranded positive sense RNA genome to synthesize the double-stranded viral DNA. At the same time the RT-associated RNaseH activity degrades the genomic RNA template, which has just been copied. The viral nucleocapsid protein NCp7 is an obligatory partner of RT, chaperoning synthesis of the complete viral DNA flanked by the two long-terminal repeats (LTR), required for viral DNA integration into the host genome and its expression. Here we describe assays for in vitro and ex vivo monitoring of reverse transcription and the chaperoning role of the nucleocapsid protein (NC).

A series
of antiviral basic quinolinonyl diketo acid derivatives
were developed as inhibitors of HIV-1 IN. Compounds 12d,f,i inhibited HIV-1 IN with IC50 values below 100 nM for strand transfer and showed a 2 order of
magnitude selectivity over 3′-processing. These strand transfer
selective inhibitors also inhibited HIV-1 RNase H with low micromolar
potencies. Molecular modeling studies based on both the HIV-1 IN and
RNase H catalytic core domains provided new structural insights for
the future development of these compounds as dual HIV-1 IN and RNase
H inhibitors.

Abstract
HIV integrase (IN) catalyzes the insertion into the genome of the infected human cell of viral DNA produced by the retrotranscription process. The discovery of raltegravir validated the existence of the IN, which is a new target in the field of anti-HIV drug research. The mechanism of catalysis of IN is depicted, and the characteristics of the inhibitors of the catalytic site of this viral enzyme are reported. The role played by the resistance is elucidated, as well as the possibility of bypassing this problem. New approaches to block the integration process are depicted as future perspectives, such as development of allosteric IN inhibitors, dual inhibitors targeting both IN and other enzymes, inhibitors of enzymes that activate IN, activators of IN activity, as well as a gene therapy approach.

The discovery of raltegravir validated the existence of the IN, which is a new target in the field of anti-HIV drug research. The mechanism of catalysis of IN is depicted, and the characteristics of the inhibitors of the catalytic site of this viral enzyme are reported. The role played by the resistance is elucidated, as well as the possibility of bypassing this problem. New approaches to block the integration process are depicted as future perspectives, such as development of allosteric IN inhibitors, dual inhibitors targeting both IN and other enzymes, inhibitors of enzymes that activate IN, activators of IN activity, as well as a gene therapy approach.

Abstract
The increasing efficiency of HAART has helped to transform HIV/AIDS into a chronic disease. Still, resistance and drug-drug interactions warrant the development of new anti-HIV agents. We previously discovered hit 6, active against HIV-1 replication and targeting RNase H in vitro. Because of its diketo-acid moiety, we speculated that this chemotype could serve to develop dual inhibitors of both RNase H and integrase. Here, we describe a new series of 1-benzyl-pyrrolyl diketohexenoic derivatives, 7a-y and 8a-y, synthesized following a parallel solution-phase approach. Those 50 analogues have been tested on recombinant enzymes (RNase H and integrase) and in cell-based assays. Approximately half (22) exibited inhibition of HIV replication. Compounds 7b, 7u, and 8g were the most active against the RNase H activity of reverse-transcriptase, with IC50 values of 3, 3, and 2.5 μM, respectively. Compound 8g was also the most potent integrase inhibitor with an IC50 value of 26 nM.

Abstract
A full-length model of integrase (IN) of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) was constructed based on the distinctly resolved X-ray crystal structures of its three domains, named N-terminal, catalytic core and C-terminal. Thirty-one already known inhibitors with varieties of structural differences as well as nine newly tested ones were docked into the catalytic core. The molecular dynamic (MD) and binding properties of these complexes were obtained by MD calculations. The binding energies calculated by molecular mechanic/Poisson Boltzmann solvation area were significantly correlationed with available IC50. Four inhibitors including two newly designed were also docked into the full-length model and their MD behaviors and binding properties were calculated. It was found that one of the newly designed compounds forms a better complex with HIV-1 IN compared to the rest including raltegravir. MD calculations were performed with AMBER suite of programs using ff99SB force field for the proteins and the general Amber force field for the ligands. In conclusion, the results have produced a promising standpoint not only in the construction of the full-length model but also in development of new drugs against it. However, the role of multimer formation and the involvement of DNAs, and their subsequent effect on the complexation and inhibition, are required to arrive at a conclusive decision.

Abstract
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5B polymerase is a key target for anti-HCV therapeutics development. Here we report the synthesis and biological evaluation of a new series of α,γ-diketo acids (DKAs) as NS5B polymerase inhibitors. We initiated structure-activity relationship (SAR) optimization around the furan moiety of compound 1a [IC(50) = 21.8 μM] to achieve more active NS5B inhibitors. This yielded compound 3a [IC(50) = 8.2 μM] bearing the 5-bromobenzofuran-2-yl moiety, the first promising lead compound of the series. Varying the furan moiety with thiophene, thiazole and indazole moieties resulted in compound 11a [IC(50) = 7.5 μM] bearing 3-methylthiophen-2-yl moiety. Finally replacement of the thiophene ring with a bioisosteric phenyl ring further improved the inhibitory activity as seen in compounds 21a [IC(50) = 5.2 μM] and 24a [IC(50) = 2.4 μM]. Binding mode of compound 24a using glide docking within the active site of NS5B polymerase will form the basis for future SAR optimization.

Abstract
Raltegravir is an FDA approved inhibitor directed against human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) integrase (IN). In this study, we investigated the mechanisms associated with multiple strand transfer inhibitors capable of inhibiting concerted integration by HIV-1 IN. The results show raltegravir, elvitegravir, MK-2048, RDS 1997, and RDS 2197 all appear to encompass a common inhibitory mechanism by modifying IN-viral DNA interactions. These structurally different inhibitors bind to and inactivate the synaptic complex, an intermediate in the concerted integration pathway in vitro. The inhibitors physically trap the synaptic complex, thereby preventing target DNA binding and thus concerted integration. The efficiency of a particular inhibitor to trap the synaptic complex observed on native agarose gels correlated with its potency for inhibiting the concerted integration reaction, defined by IC(50) values for each inhibitor. At low nanomolar concentrations (<50 nM), raltegravir displayed a time-dependent inhibition of concerted integration, a property associated with slow-binding inhibitors. Studies of raltegravir-resistant IN mutants N155H and Q148H without inhibitors demonstrated that their capacity to assemble the synaptic complex and promote concerted integration was similar to their reported virus replication capacities. The concerted integration activity of Q148H showed a higher cross-resistance to raltegravir than observed with N155H, providing evidence as to why the Q148H pathway with secondary mutations is the predominant pathway upon prolonged treatment. Notably, MK-2048 is equally potent against wild-type IN and raltegravir-resistant IN mutant N155H, suggesting this inhibitor may bind similarly within their drug-binding pockets.

Abstract
This mini-review summarizes the process of reverse-transcription, an obligatory step in retrovirus replication during which the retroviral RNA/DNA-dependent DNA polymerase (RT) copies the single-stranded genomic RNA to generate the double-stranded viral DNA while degrading the genomic RNA via its associated RNase H activity. The hybridization of complementary viral sequences by the nucleocapsid protein (NC) receives a special focus, since it acts to chaperone the strand transfers obligatory for synthesis of the complete viral DNA and flanking long terminal repeats (LTR). Since the physiological microenvironment can impact on reverse-transcription, this mini-review also focuses on factors present in the intra-cellular or extra-cellular milieu that can drastically influence both the timing and the activity of reverse-transcription and hence virus infectivity.

Abstract
Malaria is endemic in tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, Asia, and the Americas. The increasing prevalence of multi-drug-resistant Plasmodium falciparum drives the ongoing need for the development of new antimalarial drugs. In this light, novel scaffolds to which the parasite has not been exposed are of particular interest. Recently, workers at the Swiss Tropical Institute discovered two novel 4-oxo-3-carboxyl quinolones active against the intra-erythrocytic stages of P. falciparum while carrying out rationally directed low-throughput screening of potential antimalarial agents as part of an effort directed by the World Health Organization. Here we report the design, synthesis, and preliminary pharmacologic characterization of a series of analogues of 4-oxo-3-carboxyl quinolones. These studies indicate that the series has good potential for preclinical development.

Abstract
Integrase (IN) is the newest validated target against AIDS and retroviral infections. The remarkable activity of raltegravir (Isentress((R))) led to its rapid approval by the FDA in 2007 as the first IN inhibitor. Several other IN strand transfer inhibitors (STIs) are in development with the primary goal to overcome resistance due to the rapid occurrence of IN mutations in raltegravir-treated patients. Thus, many scientists and drug companies are actively pursuing clinically useful IN inhibitors. The objective of this review is to provide an update on the IN inhibitors reported in the last two years, including second generation STI, recently developed hydroxylated aromatics, natural products, peptide, antibody and oligonucleotide inhibitors. Additionally, the targeting of IN cofactors such as LEDGF and Vpr will be discussed as novel strategies for the treatment of AIDS.

X-ray diffraction analyses and theoretical calculations show that the diketoacid chain of compound 2 is preferentially coplanar with the quinolinone ring (dihedral angle of 0-30 degrees ). Docking studies suggest binding modes in agreement with structure-activity relationships.

Abstract
Integrase (IN) is one of only three enzymes encoded in the genomes of all retroviruses, and is the one least characterized in structural terms. IN catalyzes processing of the ends of a DNA copy of the retroviral genome and its concerted insertion into the chromosome of the host cell. The protein consists of three domains, the central catalytic core domain flanked by the N-terminal and C-terminal domains, the latter being involved in DNA binding. Although the Protein Data Bank contains a number of NMR structures of the N-terminal and C-terminal domains of HIV-1 and HIV-2, simian immunodeficiency virus and avian sarcoma virus IN, as well as X-ray structures of the core domain of HIV-1, avian sarcoma virus and foamy virus IN, plus several models of two-domain constructs, no structure of the complete molecule of retroviral IN has been solved to date. Although no experimental structures of IN complexed with the DNA substrates are at hand, the catalytic mechanism of IN is well understood by analogy with other nucleotidyl transferases, and a variety of models of the oligomeric integration complexes have been proposed. In this review, we present the current state of knowledge resulting from structural studies of IN from several retroviruses. We also attempt to reconcile the differences between the reported structures, and discuss the relationship between the structure and function of this enzyme, which is an important, although so far rather poorly exploited, target for designing drugs against HIV-1 infection.
