We report herein the synthesis of a series of novel quinoline derivatives, based on the lead compound 1a, identified from a rRSV-mGFP high-throughput screening assay. Our results revealed that target compounds 1b, 1g-h, 1af and 1ah (IC = 3.10-6.93 μM) had good in vitro activity against RSV, which were better than 1a and ribavirin. In addition, we found that compound 1g displayed the lower cytotoxicity (CC: 2490.33 μM) and the highest selective index (SI = 673.06), suggesting its promising potential as a candidate for further development. On the other hand, compounds 1a, 1m, 1v, 1ad-1af and 1ah-1ai (ICs: 1.87-14.28 μM) were more active against IAV than or comparable to ribavirin (IC: 15.36 ± 0.93 μM). Particularly, the most active compound 1ae (IC: 1.87 ± 0.58 μM) was found to be 8.2-fold more potent than the reference drug, which could inhibit the virus transcription and replication cycle at an early stage.
我们在此报告基于从呼吸道合胞病毒(rRSV)-修饰绿色荧光蛋白(mGFP)高通量筛选试验中鉴定出的先导化合物1a合成的一系列新型喹啉衍生物。我们的结果表明,目标化合物1b、1g - h、1af和1ah(IC₅₀ = 3.10 - 6.93 μM)对呼吸道合胞病毒具有良好的体外活性,优于1a和利巴韦林。此外,我们发现化合物1g表现出较低的细胞毒性(CC₅₀:2490.33 μM)和最高的选择性指数(SI = 673.06),表明其作为进一步开发候选物具有广阔的潜力。另一方面,化合物1a、1m、1v、1ad - 1af和1ah - 1ai(IC₅₀:1.87 - 14.28 μM)对甲型流感病毒(IAV)的活性比利巴韦林(IC₅₀:15.36 ± 0.93 μM)更强或与之相当。特别地,发现活性最强的化合物1ae(IC₅₀:1.87 ± 0.58 μM)的效力是参考药物的8.2倍,它可以在早期抑制病毒转录和复制周期。
