Definitions
- the present invention concerns strigolactones for use in preventing and/or treating infections caused by viruses of the Herpesviridae family.
- Strigolactones are a class of signalling molecules produced by the roots of the majority of higher plants. They play a dual role, endogenous and exogenous. At endogenous level they represent a new class of vegetable hormones which intervene in regulating the development of the root system and foliage and in general of the plant in relation to the nutritional conditions (deficiency of nutrients, in particular phosphates) . At exogenous level they represent chemical signals that are released in the rhizosphere and are perceived by microorganisms that live in association with the plant, with beneficial effects on the establishment of symbiosis.
- Herpesviruses are viruses with double-strand DNA responsible for infections, including serious infections in humans.
- Herpes Simplex virus type 1 HSV-1
- Herpes Simplex virus type 2 HSV-2
- Varicella-Zoster virus VZV
- Cytomegalovirus CMV
- human herpesvirus 6 human herpesvirus 7
- Epstein-Barr Virus EBV
- human herpesvirus 8 or Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus, KSHV
- the antiviral drugs of choice for herpes infections entail the use of nucleoside analogues (for example, ganciclovir) .
- nucleoside analogues can have significant toxicity for the host.
- the use of ganciclovir or similar nucleoside derivatives in children (congenital infections or bone marrow transplant) due to its high myelotoxicity, can have serious side effects which significantly limit its use.
- the nucleoside analogues frequently induce the appearance of resistance mutations at gene level which encode for the viral enzymes assigned to synthesis of the DNA.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to provide new antiviral compounds for use in the prevention and/or treatment of infections caused by viruses of the Herpesviridae family, in particular HCMV, which overcome the above- mentioned problems.
- said object is achieved by use of the compounds as defined in claim 1 in preventing and/or treating infections caused by viruses of the Herpesviridae family.

- HCMV human Cytomegalovirus
- HFF human foreskin fibroblasts
- VEO African Green Monkey cells
- HFF and VERO were grown in DMEM (Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium, SIGMA-ALDRICH) , in the presence of 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), glutamine 2 mM, sodium pyruvate 1 mM, penicillin 100 U/mL and streptomycin sulphate 100 pg/rnL (SIGMA-ALDRICH) .
- DMEM Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium
- FBS fetal bovine serum
- glutamine 2 mM glutamine 2 mM
- sodium pyruvate 1 mM penicillin 100 U/mL
- streptomycin sulphate 100 pg/rnL SIGMA-ALDRICH
- the toxicity of the SL vis-a-vis the HFF and VERO was determined, using the MTT colorimetric test ( 3— ( 4 , 5— dimethylthiazol-2-yl ) -2 , 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide; SIGMA- ALDRICH) .
- MTT colorimetric test 3— ( 4 , 5— dimethylthiazol-2-yl ) -2 , 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide; SIGMA- ALDRICH
- the cells were exposed to increasing concentrations of molecule or dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) carrier for an incubation time of 144 hours (h) .
- DMSO dimethyl sulfoxide
- the HFF cells were infected with HCMV, at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 0.1, and the VERO cells with HSV-1 or HSV-2 at MOI of 0.1.
- the cells were treated one hour prior to the infection and for the entire duration of the infection with the SL (12.5 mM, a non-toxic dose for the cells as can be seen from the cell cytotoxicity test) or with equal volume of DMSO solvent .
- Titration of the virus present in the supernatants of the samples treated as described previously was carried out by means of plaque assay. More specifically, the supernatant of the samples under examination and the cells were collected and lysed via three nitrogen/37 °C cycles and subsequently centrifuged at 1500 rpm for 10 min to eliminate the cell debris. The supernatant thus obtained, containing the viral particles, was analysed via plaque assay for determination of the viral titre.
- HFF or VERO cells grown in plates with 96 wells in 100 m ⁇ of DMEM at 10% of FBS, were infected with serial dilutions of the virus and centrifuged at 2000 rpm for 30 minutes (min), to promote adsorption.
- the viral inoculum was removed and replaced with 100 m ⁇ of methylcellulose 0.8% ( SIGMA-ALDRICH) , 1% FBS.
- SIGMA-ALDRICH methylcellulose 0.8%
- FBS methylcellulose 0.8%
- the methylcellulose was removed and substituted with a solution of crystal violet 0.1% diluted in ethanol 10% (SIGMA- ALDRICH) for 30 min in the dark.
- the plate was then decolorized under running water and the infection plaques counted under the inverted optical microscope (LEIKA DMIL) .
- TH-EGO and EDOT were the most promising molecules, as they were characterised by an inhibitory activity against HCMV, HSV-1 and HSV-2 greater than EGO-10 and GR24; they were therefore used for the subsequent experiments .
- Example 3 the derivatives of TH-EGO and EDOT effectively inhibit the replication of HCMV and HSV-1 and HSV-2.
- TH-EGO and EDOT proved to be the compounds that most effectively inhibit the replication of HCMV, HSV-1 and HSV-2.
- the derivatives TH-ABC and EDOT-ABC were synthesized which, compared to TH-EGO and EDOT, respectively, do not have the enol ether bridge bound to the butenolide ring .
- the HFF cells were infected with HCMV at MOI of 0.1, and the VERO cells with HSV-1 or HSV-2 at MOI of 0.1.
- the cells were treated with scalar concentrations of molecule, or with equal volume of DMSO solvent, one hour prior to the infection and for the entire duration of the infection.
- the virus was collected and titred from the samples treated 144 h after infection with HCMV and 48 hours after infection with HSV-1 and HSV-2 as described in the previous paragraph (Fig. 2B) .
- the different SL analysed highlighted a dose-dependent inhibitory activity against HCMV, HSV-1 and HSV-2.
- the IC50 values (inhibiting concentration necessary to inhibit 50% of the viral replication) of TH-EGO and EDOT are given below .
- Example 4 determination of the antiviral activity of the SL on HCMV.
- HFF target cell
- the cells were fixed, coloured with a solution of crystal violet and the viral plaques were counted.
- the number of plaques obtained in the sample treated with the carrier at maximum dose was set to 100%. From the data obtained, it can be seen that the SL do not significantly inhibit the process of attachment of HCMV to the target cell (Fig. 3A) .
- the HFF cells were cooled beforehand to 4°C, infected with HCMV (MOI 0.1), kept at 4°C for 3 h and lastly treated with scalar concentrations of SL or DMSO and incubated for 3 h at 37 °C to allow entry of the virus.
- the cells were treated with acid glycine (100 mM glycine, 150 mM NaCl pH 3) to remove the virus that had not penetrated into the cells.
- acid glycine 100 mM glycine, 150 mM NaCl pH 3
- the cells were fixed, coloured with a solution of crystal violet and the viral plaques were counted.
- the number of plaques obtained in the sample treated with the carrier at maximum dose was set to 100%. From the data obtained it can be seen that the SL analysed do not significantly alter the process of entry of HCMV into the target cell (Fig. 3A) .
- the cell protein a-Tubulin was included as an internal loading control.
- the HFF cells were infected with HCMV at MOI 0.3. These cultures were treated one hour prior to infection and for the entire duration of the infection with 12.5 mM of TH-EGO or EDOT, and the control cultures with the same volume of DMSO solvent. The cells were then collected at 24, 48 and 72 h from the infection (hpi, "hours post infection") .
- the cells were lysed with RIPA buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.4; 150 mM NaCl; 1 mM EDTA; 1% Nonidet P-40; 0.1% SDS; 0.5% deoxycholate ; protease inhibitors) and then quantified with the Bradford method (BIO-RAD) .
- RIPA buffer 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.4; 150 mM NaCl; 1 mM EDTA; 1% Nonidet P-40; 0.1% SDS; 0.5% deoxycholate ; protease inhibitors
- 30 pg of protein extract were collected, to which an appropriate quantity of Laemmli sample buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl pH 6.8, 2% SDS, 10% glycerol, 2% b-mercaptoethanol ) was added.
- the solution thus obtained was heated to 95°C for 5 minutes and separated by means of electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gel (8%) -SDS page.
- the gel was analysed using the ChemiDoc (BIORAD) instrument. From the results obtained, it can be seen that the inhibition of the viral replication occurs during the late stage of the infection, since a reduction is found in the expression levels of the proteins UL44 and pp28 (Fig. 3B) .
- Example 5 virolysis as an antiviral activity of the SL.
- HFF cells were treated with SL (12.5 mM) , one hour prior to infection and for the entire duration of the infection, or with equal volume of DMSO solvent and infected with HCMV (MOI 1) . After 24 and 48 hours the cells were processed by means of Annexin V-FITC Apoptosis Detection Kit (Calbiochem) , a technique which highlights the presence of apoptotic and necrotic cells through cytofluorimetric analysis .
- PS phosphatidylserine
- FITC conjugated fluorophore
- the fluorophore propidium iodide is added, a DNA intercalating agent, which intercalates stoichiometrically and emits in the red spectral region if the cell membrane is not intact, thus discriminating between live cells (negative annexin and propidiumn iodide) , apoptotic cells (positive annexin, negative propidium) and necrotic cells (negative annexin, positive propidium) .
- the cytofluorimetric analysis was performed with the FACSCalibur flow cytometer (BD Biosciences) (excitation at 488 nm, emission 518 nm and 400 nm for FITC and propidium respectively) and the results were analysed with the program ModFit LT software (BD Biosciences) .
- HFF cells were treated for 24 h with the SL TH-EGO, EDOT, or with the solvent DMSO at a concentration of 12.5 mM, in the absence or presence of HCMV (MOI 1) and subsequently analysed by means of the fluorimetric assay SensoLyte AFC Caspase Sampler Kit Fluorimetric (Anaspec, CA, USA) , which measures the cleavage of a fluorescent substrate of the enzyme caspase-3.
- the fluorescence intensity was measured with the Victor3 multi-plate reader spectrophotometer (Perkin Elmer) (excitation 405 nm, emission 500 nm) .
- the RFU values relative units of fluorescence obtained from the treated cells were expressed as fold induction with respect to the non-infected sample treated only with DMSO solvent, the value of which was set equal to 1.
- the results obtained indicate that the exposure of the HFF cells to the SL and to the infection caused by HCMV significantly induces the activity of the caspase-3 enzyme with respect to the controls (Fig. 4B) .
