Enterovirus infections are common in humans, yet there are no approved antiviral treatments. In this study we concentrated on inhibition of one of the Enterovirus B (EV-B), namely Coxsackievirus A9 (CVA9), using a combination of medicinal chemistry, virus inhibition assays, structure determination from cryogenic electron microscopy and molecular modeling, to determine the structure activity relationships for a promising class of novel N-phenylbenzylamines. Of the new 29 compounds synthesized, 10 had half maximal effective concentration (EC50) values between 0.64-10.46 mu M, and of these, 7 had 50% cytotoxicity concentration (CC50) values higher than 200 mu M. In addition, this new series of compounds showed promising physicochemical properties and act through capsid stabilization, preventing capsid expansion and subsequent release of the genome.

Abstract
Enterovirus infections are common in humans, yet there are no approved antiviral treatments. In this study we concentrated on inhibition of one of the Enterovirus B (EV-B), namely Coxsackievirus A9 (CVA9), using a combination of medicinal chemistry, virus inhibition assays, structure determination from cryogenic electron microscopy and molecular modeling, to determine the structure activity relationships for a promising class of novel N-phenylbenzylamines. Of the new 29 compounds synthesized, 10 had half maximal effective concentration (EC50) values between 0.64-10.46 mu M, and of these, 7 had 50% cytotoxicity concentration (CC50) values higher than 200 mu M. In addition, this new series of compounds showed promising physicochemical properties and act through capsid stabilization, preventing capsid expansion and subsequent release of the genome.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
