Reaction of 3',5'-di-O-benzoyl-6-methyl-2'-deoxyuridine (IIa) with elementary bromine or iodine afforded 5-halogeno derivatives IIc and IId which on methanolysis gave 5-bromo-6-methyl-2'-deoxyurine (Ic) and 5-iodo-6-methyl-2'-deoxyurine (Id), respectively. The CD spectra of Ic, Id and 6-methyl-2'-deoxyuridine (Ia) are compared and discussed with regard to determination of the nucleoside conformation. Unlike 5-bromo- and 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine, the 6-methyl derivatives Ic and Id exhibit neither antibacterial nor antiviral activity. Nor do they exert any antimetabolic effect on the de novo DNA synthesis in primary rabbit kidney cells.

The aim: of the work was to study the antiviral activity of the metabolites of the probiotic strain Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG or ATCC 53103) regarding clinical strains of enteroviruses (Coxsackie B-5, ECNO21) isolated from the feces of intestinal infections. Materials and methods: The object of the study was substrate-dependent cell cultures of HeLa, Vero, Hep-2 lines. The titer of the virus was determined by the presence of a clear cytopathic action (CPA) in the monolayer infected cells of the virus. Results: Determination of the enteric virus infections activity in the culture fluid showed that in samples with the LGG metabolites, the infections activity of the clinical strains of enteroviruses decreased after 24 hours, at 1.5-1.7 (p <0.05) times, and after 96 hours in 3, 6 – 5,7 times (p <0,01). the processing of cell cultures by metabolites in the amount of 0.3 mg / ml contributed to a decrease in the titer of viruses by 2.77 ± 0.11 lg TCDD50 / cm3, 2.83 ± 0.11 lg TCD50 / cm3 and 2.94 ± 0.13 lg TCD50 / cm3 for Vero, HeLa and Hep-2 line cells in 24 hours. Conclusions: It has been experimentally determined that the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of L. rhamnosus GG metabolites was 0.3 μg / ml for all cultures of cell lines. Determination of the antiviral activity of L. rhamnosus GG metabolites in clinical viruses of enteroviruses (Coxsackie B-5 and ECNO-21) showed a decrease in infection activity in 1.5-1.7 times, (p <0.05) of clinical trials in clinical trials enteroviruses.

ABSTRACT To address the need for broad-spectrum antiviral activity characterization of hepatitis C virus (HCV) polymerase inhibitors, we created a panel of intergenotypic chimeric replicons containing nonstructural (NS) protein NS5B sequences from genotype 2b (GT2b), GT3a, GT4a, GT5a, and GT6a HCV isolates. Viral RNA extracted from non-GT1 HCV patient plasma was subjected to reverse transcription. The NS5B region was amplified by nested PCR and introduced into the corresponding region of the GT1b (Con-1) subgenomic reporter replicon by Splicing by Overlap Extension (SOEing) PCR. Stable cell lines were generated with replication-competent chimeras for in vitro antiviral activity determination of HCV nonnucleoside polymerase inhibitors (NNIs) that target different regions of the protein. Compounds that bind to the NNI2 (thiophene carboxylic acid) or NNI3 (benzothiadiazine) allosteric sites showed 8- to >1,280-fold reductions in antiviral activity against non-GT1 NS5B chimeric replicons compared to that against the GT1b subgenomic replicon. Smaller reductions in susceptibility, ranging from 0.2- to 33-fold, were observed for the inhibitor binding to the NNI1 (benzimidazole) site. The inhibitor binding to the NNI4 (benzofuran) site showed broad-spectrum antiviral activity against all chimeric replicons evaluated in this study. In conclusion, evaluation of HCV NNIs against intergenotypic chimeric replicons showed differences in activity spectrum for inhibitors that target different regions of the enzyme, some of which could be associated with specific residues that differ between GT1 and non-GT1 polymerases. Our study demonstrates the utility of chimeric replicons for broad-spectrum activity determination of HCV inhibitors.
