We identified and explored the structure-activity-relationship (SAR) of an adamantane carboxamide chemical series of Ebola virus (EBOV) inhibitors. Selected analogs exhibited half-maximal inhibitory concentrations (EC values) of ∼10-15 nM in (VSV) pseudotyped EBOV (pEBOV) infectivity assays, low hundred nanomolar EC activity against wild type EBOV, aqueous solubility >20 mg/mL, and attractive metabolic stability in human and nonhuman liver microsomes. X-ray cocrystallographic characterizations of a lead compound with the EBOV glycoprotein (GP) established the EBOV GP as a target for direct compound inhibitory activity and further provided relevant structural models that may assist in identifying optimized therapeutic candidates.
我们确定并探索了埃博拉病毒(EBOV)抑制剂金刚烷甲酰胺化学系列的构效关系(SAR)。在水疱性口炎病毒(VSV)假型化埃博拉病毒(pEBOV)感染性试验中,选定的类似物表现出约10-15 nM的半数最大抑制浓度(EC值),对野生型埃博拉病毒的EC活性为低数百纳摩尔,水溶性>20 mg/mL,并且在人和非人类肝微粒体中具有良好的代谢稳定性。一种先导化合物与埃博拉病毒糖蛋白(GP)的X射线共结晶表征确定埃博拉病毒GP是直接化合物抑制活性的靶点,并进一步提供了相关结构模型,这可能有助于识别优化的治疗候选物。
