[h=3]Abstract[/h] [h=4]OBJECTIVE:[/h] To study the inhibitory activities of 3-O-β-chacotriosyl benzyl ursolate and its derivatives as potential new anti-influenza virus agents against the entry of H5N1 influenza viruses into the target cells.
[h=4]METHODS:[/h] Four target compounds were designed and synthesized, which were structurally related to the lead compound 3-O-β-chacotriosyl methyl ursolate (1). The inhibitory activities of these compounds were tested at a cellular level psuedovirus system targeting H5N1 influenza viruse entry.
[h=4]RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:[/h] The compounds 1b, 1c and 1d showed potent inhibitory activities against the entry of A/Thailand/Kan353/2004 pseudovirus into the target cells, and among them compound 1d showed the strongest inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 0.96∓0.10 ?mol/L. The structure-activity relationship analysis of these compounds indicated that when 17-COOH of ursolic acid was esterified, introduction of Me groups rather than aryl groups more strongly enhanced the inhibitory activity. Changing 17-COOH of ursolic acid into amide could increase the antiviral activity and decrease the cytotoxicity of the compounds in MDCK cells.
