The effective treatment of adenovirus (HAdV) infections in immunocompromised patients still poses great challenges. Herein, we reported our continued efforts to optimize a series of salicylamide derivatives as potent inhibitors of HAdV infection. Of these, nine compounds (11, 13, 14, 17, 20, 58, 60, 62, and 70) showed significantly improved anti-HAdV activities with nanomolar to submicromolar IC50 values and high selectivity indexes (SI > 100), indicating better safety windows, compared to those of the lead compound niclosamide. Our mechanistic assays suggest that compounds 13, 62, and 70 exert their activities in the HAdV entry pathway, while compounds 14 and 60 likely target the HAdV DNA replication, and 11, 17, 20, and 58 inhibit later steps after DNA replication. Given the broad anti-viral activity profile of niclosamide, these derivatives may also offer therapeutic potential for other viral infections.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D000072283 A549 Cells An immortalized cell line derived from human ADENOCARCINOMA, ALVEOLAR basal epithelial cells isolated from the lungs of a male patient in 1972. The cell line is positive for KERATIN, can synthesize LECITHIN, and contains high levels of POLYUNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS in its PLASMA MEMBRANE. It is used as a model for PULMONARY ALVEOLI function and virus infections, as a TRANSFECTION host, and for PRECLINICAL DRUG EVALUATION.

D000260 Adenoviruses, Human Species of the genus MASTADENOVIRUS, causing a wide range of diseases in humans. Infections are mostly asymptomatic, but can be associated with diseases of the respiratory, ocular, and gastrointestinal systems. Serotypes (named with Arabic numbers) have been grouped into species designated Human adenovirus A-G. APC Viruses,APC Virus,Adenovirus, Human,Human Adenovirus,Human Adenoviruses
D000998 Antiviral Agents Agents used in the prophylaxis or therapy of VIRUS DISEASES. Some of the ways they may act include preventing viral replication by inhibiting viral DNA polymerase; binding to specific cell-surface receptors and inhibiting viral penetration or uncoating; inhibiting viral protein synthesis; or blocking late stages of virus assembly.
