چکیده

Drugs such as WIN51711 that inhibit picornavirus replication are thought to block poliovirus infectivity by binding to the capsid and preventing structural transitions required for uncoating. We examined the activity of WIN51711 at temperatures where capsid flexibility is thought to be decreased. Below 37 degrees C, WIN51711 inhibits the binding of wild-type poliovirus to cells but does not affect the binding of a poliovirus mutant which is believed to undergo structural transitions more readily. These results suggest that the poliovirus capsid must undergo structural changes to bind to its cellular receptor.

Poliovirus variants selected on mutant receptor-expressing cells identify capsid residues that expand receptor recognition.

Mutations in the predicted C'-C"-D edge of the first immunoglobulin-like domain of the poliovirus receptor were previously shown to eliminate poliovirus binding. To identify capsid residues that expand receptor recognition, 16 poliovirus suppressor mutants were selected that replicate in three different mutant receptor-expressing cell lines as well as in cells expressing the wild-type receptor....

The antiviral compound 5-(3,4-dichlorophenyl) methylhydantoin inhibits the post-synthetic cleavages and the assembly of poliovirus in a cell-free system.

The mode of action of the antiviral drug 5-(3,4-dichlorophenyl) methylhydantoin (hydantoin) was studied in a cell-free system allowing de novo synthesis of poliovirus. This cell-free system, which is programmed with viral RNA, is suitable for the study of the late stages of poliovirus replication and, thus, for a study of antiviral compounds acting on these late stages. It was shown that, apart...

Optimum Conditions of Radioligand Receptor Binding Assay of Ligands of Benzodiazepine Receptors

To obtain drugs which are more selective at benzodiazepine (BZD) receptors, design and synthesis of functionally selective ligands for BZD receptors is the current strategy of our pharmaceutical chemistry department. The affinity of newly synthesized ligands is assessed by radioligand receptor binding assays. Based on our previous studies, 2-phenyl-5-oxo-7-methyl-1,3,4-oxadiazolo[a,2,3]-pyrimid...

Structure-activity relationships of new antiviral compounds.

In preliminary experiments, the compound 2-amino-5-(2-sulfamoylphenyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole (G413) was shown to possess high activity against DNA viruses (herpes simplex viruses 1 and 2 and adenovirus 17) and RNA viruses (poliovirus 1, echovirus 2, and coxsackievirus B4). Experiments on the replicative cycle of poliovirus 1 and production of infectious RNA viruses demonstrate that this compound pr...
