<p>The
6′-fluorinated aristeromycins were designed as dual-target
antiviral compounds aimed at inhibiting both the viral RNA-dependent
RNA polymerase (RdRp) and the host cell <italic>S</italic>
-adenosyl-<sc>l</sc>
-homocysteine (SAH) hydrolase, which would indirectly target
capping of viral RNA. The introduction of a fluorine at the 6′-position
enhanced the inhibition of SAH hydrolase and the activity against
RNA viruses. The adenosine and <italic>N</italic>
<sup>6</sup>
-methyladenosine
analogues <bold>2a–e</bold>
showed potent inhibition against
SAH hydrolase, while only the adenosine derivatives <bold>2a–c</bold>
exhibited potent antiviral activity against all tested RNA viruses
such as Middle East respiratory syndrome-coronavirus (MERS-CoV), severe
acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus, chikungunya virus, and/or
Zika virus. 6′,6′-Difluoroaristeromycin (<bold>2c</bold>
) showed the strongest antiviral effect for MERS-CoV, with a ∼2.5
log reduction in infectious progeny titer in viral load reduction
assay. The phosphoramidate prodrug <bold>3a</bold>
also demonstrated
potent broad-spectrum antiviral activity, possibly by inhibiting the
viral RdRp. This study shows that 6′-fluorinated aristeromycins
can serve as starting points for the development of broad-spectrum
antiviral agents that target RNA viruses.</p>

<p>The
6′-fluorinated aristeromycins were designed as dual-target
antiviral compounds aimed at inhibiting both the viral RNA-dependent
RNA polymerase (RdRp) and the host cell <italic>S</italic>
-adenosyl-<sc>l</sc>
-homocysteine (SAH) hydrolase, which would indirectly target
capping of viral RNA. The introduction of a fluorine at the 6′-position
enhanced the inhibition of SAH hydrolase and the activity against
RNA viruses. The adenosine and <italic>N</italic>
<sup>6</sup>
-methyladenosine
analogues <bold>2a–e</bold>
showed potent inhibition against
SAH hydrolase, while only the adenosine derivatives <bold>2a–c</bold>
exhibited potent antiviral activity against all tested RNA viruses
such as Middle East respiratory syndrome-coronavirus (MERS-CoV), severe
acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus, chikungunya virus, and/or
Zika virus. 6′,6′-Difluoroaristeromycin (<bold>2c</bold>
) showed the strongest antiviral effect for MERS-CoV, with a ∼2.5
log reduction in infectious progeny titer in viral load reduction
assay. The phosphoramidate prodrug <bold>3a</bold>
also demonstrated
potent broad-spectrum antiviral activity, possibly by inhibiting the
viral RdRp. This study shows that 6′-fluorinated aristeromycins
can serve as starting points for the development of broad-spectrum
antiviral agents that target RNA viruses.</p>

<p>Over
the past 15 years, outbreaks of a number of emerging positive-stranded
RNA (+RNA) viruses,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref1">1</xref>
</sup>
such as the severe
acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV),<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref2">2</xref>
</sup>
Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV),<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref3">3</xref>
</sup>
chikungunya virus (CHIKV),<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref4">4</xref>
</sup>
and Zika virus (ZIKV)<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref5">5</xref>
</sup>
have
seriously threatened human health and have had a substantial socio-economic
impact. SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV cause serious respiratory diseases<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref6">6</xref>
</sup>
that can be fatal in approximately 10 and 35%
of cases, respectively. CHIKV is transmitted by mosquitoes and causes
a painful arthritis that can persist for months.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref7">7</xref>
</sup>
ZIKV is also transmitted by mosquitoes,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref8">8</xref>
</sup>
although sexual transmission<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref8">8</xref>
</sup>
occurs as well. This virus usually causes mild disease, but can
cause neurological complications in adults and fetal death or severe
complications, including microcephaly in infants when women are infected
during pregnancy.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref9">9</xref>
</sup>
CHIKV and ZIKV have
caused massive outbreaks, totaling millions of infections over the
past decade. Currently, there are no effective chemotherapeutic agents
or vaccines that can prevent or cure infections of any of these four
serious pathogens.</p>
<p>The aforementioned viruses belong to the
+RNA virus group (Baltimore
class IV),<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref1">1</xref>
</sup>
which indicates that their
genomic RNA has the same polarity as mRNA and can be directly translated
by host ribosomes upon release into the cytoplasm of a host cell.
After infection, the genomes of these viruses are translated into
polyproteins that are subsequently cleaved into individual proteins
by viral and/or host proteases. The nonstructural proteins (nsps)
of these viruses harbor a variety of enzymatic activities that are
required for the replication of the viral RNA and invariably include
a RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp),<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref10">10</xref>
</sup>
an enzyme which is not present in uninfected cells. The RdRp transcribes
the genomic RNA into a complementary negative-stranded RNA that subsequently
serves as the template for the synthesis of new positive-stranded
RNA.</p>
<p>Many +RNA viruses (including coronaviruses, CHIKV, and
ZIKV) also
encode methyltransferases (MTases)<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref11">11</xref>
</sup>
that
are required for methylations of viral mRNA cap structures.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref12">12</xref>
</sup>
Because this capping is crucial for stability
and translation of the viral RNA, and evasion of the host innate immune
response, the viral MTases are considered promising targets for the
development of antiviral therapy.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref12">12</xref>
</sup>
Inhibition
of MTases can be indirectly achieved by the inhibition of <italic>S</italic>
-adenosyl-<sc>l</sc>
-homocysteine (SAH) hydrolase.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref13">13</xref>
</sup>
The SAH hydrolase catalyzes the interconversion
of SAH into adenosine and <sc>l</sc>
-homocysteine. Inhibition of this
enzyme leads to the accumulation of SAH in the cell, which in turn
inhibits <italic>S</italic>
-adenosyl-<sc>l</sc>
-methionine (SAM)-dependent
transmethylase reactions by feedback inhibition.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref13">13</xref>
,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref14">14</xref>
</sup>
Most of the viral MTases are dependent on SAM as the only methyl
donor. Compounds that target cellular proteins might exhibit a broader
spectrum of activity, are less likely to lead to drug-resistance,
but have a higher likelihood of toxicity. Compounds that are specifically
aimed at viral proteins are expected to be less cytotoxic, but might
have a narrower spectrum of antiviral activity and might have a lower
barrier antiviral drug-resistance<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref14">14</xref>
</sup>
Thus,
the approach of targeting cellular proteins such as SAH hydrolase
can be considered as a promising strategy for the development of broad-spectrum
antiviral agents.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref14">14</xref>
</sup>
A number of compounds
have been reported to act as SAH hydrolase inhibitors.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref14">14</xref>
</sup>
Type I inhibitors act through inactivation of
the NAD<sup>+</sup>
cofactor, and their inhibitory effect on the catalytic
activity of the enzyme can be reversed by the addition of excess NAD<sup>+</sup>
.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref14">14</xref>
</sup>
Type II inhibitors are irreversible
inhibitors of the SAH hydrolase that form covalent bonds with amino
acid residues in the active site of the enzyme. This irreversible
inhibition cannot be reversed by the addition of NAD<sup>+</sup>
or
adenosine or by dialysis.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref14">14</xref>
</sup>
</p>
<p>Because
both the viral RdRp and host SAH hydrolase are critical
for virus replication, we aimed to design broad-spectrum nucleoside
analogue inhibitors that could directly target RdRp activity and/or
indirectly inhibit the methylation of viral RNA through their effect
on the host SAH hydrolase. Modified nucleosides are usually taken
up by the cell via nucleoside transporters and can be successively
converted into mono-, di-, and triphosphates by cellular kinases.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref15">15</xref>
</sup>
Then, these modified nucleoside triphosphates
(NTPs) can compete with natural NTPs during RNA synthesis or can be
incorporated into the nascent viral RNA, leading to chain termination
or detrimental mutations.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref15">15</xref>
</sup>
</p>
<p>(−)-Aristeromycin
(<bold>1</bold>
) is a naturally occurring
carbocyclic nucleoside that was originally identified as a metabolite
of <italic>Streptomyces citricolor</italic>
in 1967.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="cit16a">16a</xref>
</sup>
The first synthesis of <bold>1</bold>
as racemate
was reported by Clayton and his co-worker,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="cit16b">16b</xref>
−<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="cit16d">16d</xref>
</sup>
and its asymmetric syntheses have since been reported.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="cit16e">16e</xref>
−<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="cit16h">16h</xref>
</sup>
It is a type I SAH hydrolase inhibitor and exhibits potent antiviral
activity against many viruses.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="cit14a">14a</xref>
</sup>
However,
it could not be further advanced into clinical development because
of its cytotoxicity.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref17">17</xref>
</sup>
Compound <bold>1</bold>
was found to be toxic at low concentrations in both adenosine kinase-positive
(AK<sup>+</sup>
) and AK<sup>–</sup>
cells. AK<sup>+</sup>
cells
were presumably killed by the 5′-phosphorylated form of <bold>1</bold>
, while the toxicity in AK<sup>–</sup>
cells was caused
by <bold>1</bold>
itself.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref17">17</xref>
</sup>
However, this
compound is also metabolized into a triphosphate form and has been
observed to exert a variety of metabolic effects.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref17">17</xref>
</sup>
We aimed to use <bold>1</bold>
as a prototype for the design
of dual-target compounds intended at directly inhibiting the viral
RdRp and indirectly inhibiting the capping process through targeting
of cellular SAH hydrolase.</p>
<p>Since the introduction of a fluorine
at the 6′-position
of carbocyclic nucleosides has been known to affect biological activities
to a significant extent,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref18">18</xref>
</sup>
we aimed to
synthesize the 6′-fluorinated-aristeromycin analogues <bold>2</bold>
by introducing fluorine at the 6′-position of <bold>1</bold>
(<xref rid="fig1" ref-type="fig">Figure <xref rid="fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>
</xref>
). Prisbe and his co-workers<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="cit18a">18a</xref>
</sup>
have reported
the synthesis of (±)-6′-α- and (±)-6′-β-fluorinated
aristeromycins and their inhibitory activity on SAH hydrolase, but
the synthesis and biological activity of (±)-6′,6′-difluoroaristeromycin
was not reported, despite the fact that the structure was claimed
in the patent.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="cit18b">18b</xref>
</sup>
Thus, we set out to synthesize
the 6′-fluorinated-aristeromycin analogues <bold>2</bold>
in
the optically pure <sc>d</sc>
-forms because biological activity can
generally be attributed to one enantiomer, the <sc>d</sc>
-isomer.
Yin and co-workers<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="cit18c">18c</xref>
</sup>
reported the elegant
synthesis of optically pure (−)-6′-β-fluoro-aristeromycin,
but its biological activity was not reported. Their synthetic route
involved the 6-β-fluoroazide as the key intermediate, which
was synthesized by employing S<sub>N</sub>
2 fluorination of the 6-α-triflic
azide with tris(dimethylamino)sulfur(trimethylsilyl)difluoride, whereas
our current approach<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref19">19</xref>
</sup>
included the stereoselective
electrophilic fluorination of silyl enol ether with Selectfluor as
the fluorine source. In addition to the adenosine analogues, aimed
at inhibiting SAH hydrolase and/or RdRp, we have also synthesized
6′-fluorinated purine and pyrimidine nucleosides (changes in
B of the structures in <xref rid="fig1" ref-type="fig">Figure <xref rid="fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>
</xref>
), which could interfere with viral RNA synthesis by targeting
the viral RdRp after their phosphorylation by cellular kinases.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref15">15</xref>
</sup>
To bypass the first and rate-limiting 5′-monophosphorylation
step, we have also synthesized a phosphoramidate prodrug <bold>3</bold>
of nucleoside <bold>2</bold>
, using the McGuigan ProTides.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref20">20</xref>

Herein, we report the synthesis of the 6′-fluoro-aristeromycin

and a preliminary characterization
of their effect on several +RNA viruses, which provided insight into

The stereochemistry of the

was confirmed by <sup>1</sup>
H NOE experiments. Irradiation of 6-H of <bold>7b</bold>

but no NOE effects were observed on the same experiment in the case
of <bold>7a</bold>

The configuration of the fluorine in <bold>7b</bold>
was further confirmed
by the X-ray crystal structure obtained after it was converted to
the final uracil derivative <bold>2g</bold>
(<xref rid="sch5" ref-type="scheme">Scheme <xref rid="sch5" ref-type="scheme">5</xref>

under the same conditions yielded the 6,6-difluorosugar <bold>7c</bold>

using a cyclic sulfate substrate with electron-withdrawing property

JM109,
using a 5,5′-dithiobis-2-nitrobenzoate (DTNB) coupled assay
as described by Lozada-Ramírez et al.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref30">30</xref>
</sup>
As expected, all adenosine derivatives <bold>2a–e</bold>
potently
inhibited SAH hydrolase, but none of the pyrimidine analogues <bold>2f–j</bold>
showed any inhibitory activity at concentrations
up to 100 μM. None of the prodrugs <bold>3a–c</bold>
exhibited
inhibitory activity at concentrations up to 100 μM. This result
is not surprising because adenosine is the substrate for SAH hydrolase.
Among the adenosine analogues, 6′-β-fluoroaristeromycin
(<bold>2a</bold>
) exhibited the most potent inhibitory activity (IC<sub>50</sub>
= 0.37 μM), which was 3.6-fold more potent than the
control <bold>1</bold>
(IC<sub>50</sub>
= 1.32 μM). However,
6′-α-fluoroaristeromycin (<bold>2b</bold>
, IC<sub>50</sub>
= 9.70 μM) was 26-fold less potent than the corresponding
6′-β-fluoro analogue <bold>2a</bold>
and 7.4-fold less
active than the 6′-unsubstituted compound <bold>1</bold>
. This
indicates that the stereochemistry at the 6′-position is important
for inhibitory activity. Interestingly, the introduction of two fluorines
at the 6′-position resulted in <bold>2c</bold>
(IC<sub>50</sub>
= 1.06 μM), which was slightly more potent than the control <bold>1</bold>
. The inhibitory activity of the 6′-fluoro-aristeromycin
series can be ranked in the following order: 6′-β-F >
6′,6′-F,F > 6′-H > 6′-α-F.
The introduction
of a methyl group at the <italic>N</italic>
<sup>6</sup>
-amino group
of <bold>2a</bold>
, resulting in <bold>2d</bold>
, decreased the inhibitory
activity (IC<sub>50</sub>
= 4.39 μM) by 11.9-fold, while the
addition of a methyl group to the <italic>N</italic>
<sup>6</sup>
-amino
group of <bold>2c</bold>
, resulting in <bold>2e</bold>
, increased
the inhibitory activity (IC<sub>50</sub>
= 0.76 μM) by 1.7-fold.
These results demonstrate that the <italic>N</italic>
<sup>6</sup>
-methyladenine
and the adenine moieties do not lead to a decrease in inhibitory activity.</p>

<sec id="sec2.3"><title>Antiviral Activity</title>
<p>The novel 6′-fluoro-aristeromycin
analogues <bold>2a–j</bold>
and <bold>3a–c</bold>
were
screened for antiviral activity against a variety of +RNA viruses.
The compounds were tested for antiviral activity in cytopathic effect
(CPE) reduction assays at 4 concentrations, that is, 150, 50, 16.7,
and 5.6 μM by preparing 3-fold serial dilutions. Compounds that
demonstrated antiviral activity in this primary screen were further
tested more extensively in dose response experiments at 8 different
concentrations to determine the EC<sub>50</sub>

exhibited
potent antiviral activities against +RNA viruses, while the other

<sup>6</sup>
-methyladenine derivatives <bold>2d</bold>
and <bold>2e</bold>
and pyrimidine derivatives <bold>2f–j</bold>
did not show significant antiviral activities, not even at 100 μM.
This result suggests that the antiviral activity might be due to an
(indirect) effect on viral MTase activity through the inhibition of
host SAH hydrolase. Inhibition of the viral RdRp appears not to be
important. The mechanism of action of these compounds has been studied
in more detail and results will be published elsewhere.</p>
<p>Compound <bold>2a</bold>
inhibited MERS-CoV replication with an
EC<sub>50</sub>
of 0.20 μM; however, it was also rather cytotoxic,
resulting in a selectivity index (SI) of 3. Replacement of the remaining
6′-H in <bold>2a</bold>
with F resulted in compound <bold>2c</bold>
, which exhibited a > 5-fold reduction in cytotoxicity, while
its
antiviral activity remained unchanged, with an EC<sub>50</sub>
of
∼0.20 μM and an SI of 15 for MERS-CoV. This compound
was also active against SARS-CoV with an SI of 12.5, suggesting that
it may be a broad-spectrum coronavirus inhibitor. In addition, it
also inhibited ZIKV replication with an EC<sub>50</sub>
of 0.26 μM
(SI > 10) and was active against CHIKV with an EC<sub>50</sub>
of
0.13 μM. Compound <bold>2b</bold>
showed some inhibitory effects
on CHIKV and ZIKV replication, but this was likely due to pleiotropic
cytotoxic effects, as the SI was <3. Among the phosphoramidate
prodrugs <bold>3a–c</bold>
, only the adenosine prodrug <bold>3a</bold>
exhibited significant broad-spectrum antiviral activities,
demonstrating that it may inhibit the RdRp of RNA viruses after conversion
into the triphosphate form, although it remains to be determined in
biochemical assays whether the triphosphate form affects RdRp activity.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref20">20</xref>
</sup>
Compound <bold>3a</bold>
had an EC<sub>50</sub>
of 9.3 μM for MERS-CoV and 6.8 μM for SARS-CoV, but
it also had an SI < 10, and it was therefore not considered a potent
inhibitor of coronavirus replication. However, for CHIKV and ZIKV, <bold>3a</bold>
had EC<sub>50</sub>
values of 1.95 and 1.75 μM, respectively,
with good selectivity indices. Interestingly, the prodrug <bold>3a</bold>
was less potent, but also much less cytotoxic than the parent compound <bold>2c</bold>
, which is unusual as regularly the phosphoramidate is more
potent than the parent drug.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref20">20</xref>
</sup>
The phosphoramidate <bold>3a</bold>
might be slowly hydrolyzed to the 5′-monophosphate
by metabolic enzymes, or to the parent drug <bold>2c</bold>
by a phosphatase,
which could inhibit SAH hydrolase, explaining the observed antiviral
effect. Viral load reduction assays were performed with compound <bold>2c</bold>
by infecting cells with CHIKV, ZIKV, SARS-CoV, and MERS-CoV,
followed by treatment with different concentrations of <bold>2c</bold>
. At 30 hpi (CHIKV) or 48 hpi (ZIKV, SARS- and MERS-CoV), infectious
progeny titers in the medium were determined by plaque assay (<xref rid="fig2" ref-type="fig">Figure <xref rid="fig2" ref-type="fig">2</xref>
</xref>
). Treatment with
concentrations higher than 1 μM of <bold>2c</bold>
reduced infectious
CHIKV titers by more than 2 log. The effect on ZIKV infectious progeny
titers was limited and showed a ∼1 log reduction. For SARS-CoV,
the reduction in infectious progeny titer was ∼1.5 log at 2c
concentrations above 0.3 μM. The strongest antiviral effect
was observed for MERS-CoV, with a ∼2.5 log reduction in infectious
progeny titers when infected cells were treated with 2c concentrations
above 0.3 μM. Follow-up studies to gain more insights into the
mode of action of <bold>2c</bold>
and <bold>3a</bold>
and related
compounds are currently ongoing, and results will be published elsewhere.</p>

<p>Finally, we measured the log <italic>P</italic>
of the most active
compound <bold>2c</bold>
by the pH-metric method, using a T3 Sirius
instrument, because the lipophilicity is a major determinant for compound
absorption, distribution in the body, penetration across biological

was 0.02, indicating that it is almost equally partitioned between
the lipid and aqueous phases. The relatively low log <italic>P</italic>

<sec id="sec3"><title>Conclusions</title>
<p>We
have synthesized the 6′-fluorinated aristeromycin analogues <bold>2a–j</bold>
, which were designed as dual-target antiviral
compounds aimed at inhibiting both the viral RdRp and the host SAH
hydrolase. The electrophilic fluorination of silyl enol ether with
Selectfluor was the key step in the synthesis. We have also synthesized
the phosphoramidate prodrugs <bold>3a–c</bold>
to determine
whether these would inhibit virus replication through an effect on
the viral RNA polymerase. <xref rid="fig3" ref-type="fig">Figure <xref rid="fig3" ref-type="fig">3</xref>
</xref>
depicts the summarized SAR of the synthesized 6′-fluorinated
final nucleoside analogues <bold>2a–j</bold>
and <bold>3a–c</bold>
concerning the inhibition of human SAH hydrolase and the inhibition
of the replication of various +RNA viruses with capped genomes. It
was discovered that the introduction of fluorine at the 6′-position
increases the inhibitory activity on SAH hydrolase and the replication
of selected +RNA viruses. Compared to the 6′-unsubstituted
compound <bold>1</bold>
, the 6′-fluorinated aristeromycin analogues <bold>2a</bold>
and <bold>2c</bold>
more potently inhibited SAH hydrolase
activity and the replication of MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV, ZIKV, and CHIKV.
Among these compounds, 6′-β-fluoroaristeromycin (<bold>2a</bold>
) was the most potent with an IC<sub>50</sub>
of 0.37 μM
for SAH hydrolase activity and an EC<sub>50</sub>
of 0.20 μM
for MERS-CoV replication. There was a correlation between the inhibition
of SAH hydrolase and the antiviral activity of the compounds, suggesting
that the latter was mainly due to indirect targeting of viral methylation
reactions. The SAR studies and a lack of antiviral effects of several
purine and pyrimidine analogues suggest that the antiviral effect
of <bold>1</bold>
, <bold>2a</bold>
, and <bold>2c</bold>
is unlikely
due to targeting of the viral RdRp. Compound <bold>2c</bold>
appears
to be an interesting compound for further development and evaluation
as a broad-spectrum antiviral agent, as it inhibited several coronaviruses,
CHIKV, and ZIKV. More detailed biological studies on the efficacy
of these compounds in virus-infected cells and into their mode of
action are currently ongoing and will be published elsewhere.</p>

MHz), Bruker AMX 500 (500/125 MHz), JEOL JNM-ECA600 (600/150 MHz),
or Bruker AVANCE III 800 (800/200 MHz) spectrometer. Chemical shifts
are reported as parts per million (δ) relative to the solvent
peak. Coupling constants (<italic>J</italic>
) are reported in hertz.
Mass spectra were recorded on a Thermo LCQ XP instrument. Optical
rotations were determined on Jasco III in appropriate solvent. UV
spectra were recorded on U-3000 made by Hitachi in methanol or water.
Infrared spectra were recorded on FT-IR (FTS-135) made by Bio-Rad.
Melting points were determined on a Buchan B-540 instrument and are
uncorrected. The crude compounds were purified by column chromatography
on a silica gel (Kieselgel 60, 70–230 mesh, Merck). Elemental
analyses (C, H, and N) were used to determine the purity of all synthesized
compounds, and the results were within ±0.4% of the calculated
values, confirming ≥95% purity.</p>

<p>The gene encoding human
placental SAH hydrolase was cloned
into expression plasmid pPROKcd20. Recombinant SAH hydrolase protein
was produced in <italic>E. coli</italic>
JM109 in 50
mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5) containing 2 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid
and was purified by DEAE-cellulose column (2.8 cm × 6 cm), ammonium
sulfate fractionation (35–60%), Sephacryl S-300HR (1.0 cm ×
105 cm), and DEAE cellulose (2.8 cm × 24 cm). The protein homogeneity
was confirmed by 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
The protein concentration was determined by using the Bradford method.
Bovine serum albumin was a standard material for protein assay. Enzyme
activity was determined in reaction mixtures (250 μL) that contain
50 mM sodium phosphate (pH 8.0), 2 μM SAH hydrolase (0.5 μM
tetrameric form), and varying concentrations of compounds. The reaction
mixtures were first preincubated with the compounds for 10 min at
37 °C, after which the reaction was initiated by adding 100 μM
SAH. The reaction was allowed to proceed for 20 min, followed by the
addition of 5,5′-dithiobis-2-nitrobenzoate (DNTB) to a final
concentration of 200 μM. The absorbance of the product 5-thio-2-nitrobenzoic
acid (TNB) was measured at 412 nm using a spectrophotometer (Varian,
Cary 100). The molar extinction coefficient for TNB (ε<sub>412</sub>
= 13 700 M<sup>–1</sup>
cm<sup>–1</sup>
) was
used in calculations to quantify TNB formation.</p>

<p>VeroE6
cells were seeded
at a density of 5000 cells/well (CHIKV) and 10 000 cells/well
(SARS-CoV, SFV and SINV) in a total volume of 100 μL per well
in 96-well plates. Vero cells were seeded at a density of 20 000
cells/well when used for MERS-CoV infections, and Vero CCL81 cells
were seeded at a density of 5000 cells/well for ZIKA infections under
the same conditions as described for Vero E6. The following day, compound
dilutions with concentrations of 150, 50, 16.7, and 5.6 μM were
prepared in the infection medium by 3-fold serial dilution of the
150 μM solution. After replacing the culture medium with the
respective dilutions of the compound, the cells were infected with
CHIKV (MOI 0.005), SFV (MOI 0.025), SINV (MOI 0.025), ZIKV (MOI 0.05),
MERS-CoV (MOI 0.005), or SARS-CoV (MOI 0.01). Viability assays were
conducted in parallel. Each compound was tested at each concentration
in quadruplicate (4 biological replicates per concentration). An MTS
colorimetric assay was conducted 40 hpi for SFV, 76 hpi for SINV,
72 h hpi for MERS- and SARS-CoV, and 96 hpi for CHIKV and ZIKV by
adding 20 μL/well of the CellTiter 96 AQueous One Solution Cell
Proliferation Assay (MTS) reagent (Promega). The assay was stopped
after 2–2.5 h by fixing the cells with 37% formaldehyde. The
absorbance was measured at 495 nm in a Berthold Mithras LB 940 plate
reader, and the values were expressed relative to uninfected (infection)
or untreated (viability) samples. The results represent the average
of quadruplicate samples expressed as the mean ± SD. Compounds
that were found to be protective were further evaluated in CPE reduction
assays by testing 8 different concentrations to determine the EC<sub>50</sub>
as previously described.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref31">31</xref>
