Structure−Activity Relationship of in Vitro Antiviral and Cytotoxic Activity of Semisynthetic Analogues of Scopadulane Diterpenes

Abstract: Fourteen semisynthetic compounds derived from the natural scopadulane-type diterpenes thyrsiflorin A (4), B (5), and C (6), including several precursors, have been examined in vitro for their antiherpetic activity against Herpes simplex virus type II (HSV-2) and cytotoxicity against two human tumor cell lines. Four of these compounds showed moderate antiherpetic activity, but none of them exhibited a significant cytotoxicity against the cell lines used. Some structure-activity relationships have been identifie… Show more

“…The cytotoxicity of pure compounds 1-5 was also evaluated ( Table 2), and the flavonols 4 and 5 exhibited some selectivity toward HEp-2 and MKN-45 cancer cell lines. In general, none of the compounds examined showed significant cytotoxic activity for the cancer cell lines evaluated (the reference value recommended by the U.S. National Cancer Institute for promising cytotoxic compounds is <4 μg/ mL) (42,43). These results are in agreement with previous studies which demonstrated that the in vitro cytotoxic and antiproliferative activities toward some cancer cell lines are less effective in anthocyanin-rich fractions than the original extracts (15).…”

“…The antiviral activity of 14-hydroxyabietane (phenols) (16)(17)(18) and triptoquinone epimers (19)(20)(21) against herpes simplex virus type 1 (HHV-1) was determined using a modied end-point titration technique (EPPT) according to the protocol reported by us. 15 None of the tested compounds reduced the HHV-1 replication at the evaluated concentrations (data not shown).…”

“…This experiment was performed according to the method described by [ 69 ] with some modifications for RSV and by Suzutani and Behbahani and with some modifications [ 70 , 71 ] for HSV-1. For RSV, Vero cells were cultivated as 1 × 10 5 cell/well in 96-well flat bottom culture plates in RPMI-1640 culture medium and for HSV-1, MRC-5 cells were cultivated as (3 × 10 4 cell/well) in 96-well flat bottom culture plates in RPMI-1640 culture medium.…”
