2-[(4-Methyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)sulfanyl]acetamide derivatives were synthesized and their structures were confirmed by 1H NMR, IR, and elemental analysis. Cytotoxicity of the compounds towards HEK-293 and GMK cells was evaluated. Moreover, the antiviral and virucidal activities of these compounds against human adenovirus type 5 and ECHO-9 virus were assessed. Some of the newly synthesized derivatives have the potential to reduce the viral replication of both tested viruses.

The human adenovirus phylogenetic tree is split across seven species (A–G). Species D adenoviruses offer potential advantages for gene therapy applications, with low rates of pre-existing immunity detected across screened populations. However, many aspects of the basic virology of species D—such as their cellular tropism, receptor usage, and in vivo biodistribution profile—remain unknown. Here, we have characterized human adenovirus type 49 (HAdV-D49)—a relatively understudied species D member. We report that HAdV-D49 does not appear to use a single pathway to gain cell entry, but appears able to interact with various surface molecules for entry. As such, HAdV-D49 can transduce a broad range of cell types in vitro, with variable engagement of blood coagulation FX. Interestingly, when comparing in vivo biodistribution to adenovirus type 5, HAdV-D49 vectors show reduced liver targeting, whilst maintaining transduction of lung and spleen. Overall, this presents HAdV-D49 as a robust viral vector platform for ex vivo manipulation of human cells, and for in vivo applications where the therapeutic goal is to target the lung or gain access to immune cells in the spleen, whilst avoiding liver interactions, such as intravascular vaccine applications.

Adenoviruses are nonenveloped icosahedral-shaped particles. The double-stranded viral DNA genome contains four major early transcription units, designated El (a and b), E2 (a and b), E3 and E4, which are expressed in a regulated manner soon after infection. The gene products of the region E3, shown to be nonessential for viral replication in vitro, are believed to be involved in counteracting host immunosurveillance. Human adenovirus type 5 DNA sequences of transcription units L4 and L5 adjacent to E3 were used to localize E3 within the bovine adenovirus type 2. The DNA sequences between 74.8 and 84.4 mu containing E3 and the fiber gene were determined. The E3 region was found to consist of about 2.3 kb pairs and to encode four proteins longer than 60 amino acids. However, these four open reading frames did not show significant homology to any other known adenovirus DNA or protein sequence.

Background and objectives: The use of antagonistic probiotic microorganisms and their byproducts represents a promising approach for the treatment of viral diseases. In the current work, the effect of exopolysaccharides (EPSs) produced by lactic acid bacteria from different genera on the structural and functional characteristics of cells and the development of adenoviral infection in vitro was studied. Materials and Methods: Cytotoxicity of six EPSs of lactic acid bacteria of the genera Lactobacillus, Leuconostoc and Pediococcus was determined by MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assay. The influence of the EPSs on the infectivity of human adenovirus type 5 (HAdV-5) and on the cell cycle under a condition of adenovirus infection was studied using plaque reduction assay and flow cytometric analysis, respectively. Results: It was shown that exopolysaccharides were non-toxic to Madin-Darby bovine kidney cells (MDBK) as they reduced their viability by 3–17%. A change in the distribution of the cell cycle phases in the non-infected cell population treated with EPSs was observed. The analysis demonstrated an increase in the number of cells in the S phase by 47% when using EPSs 15a and a decrease in the number of cells in the G1 phase by 20–27% when treated with the EPSs 15a, 33a, and 19s. The use of EPSs did not led to the normalization of the life cycle of HAdV-5 infected cells to the level of non-infected cells. The EPSs showed low virucidal activity and reduced the HAdV-5 infectivity to 85%. Among the studied exopolysaccharides, anti-adenovirus activity was found for EPS 26a that is produced by Lactobacillus spp. strain. The treatment of cells with the EPS following virus adsorption completely (100%) suppressed the formation and release of HAdV-5 infectious. Conclusions: EPS 26a possessed distinct anti-HAdV-5 activity and the obtained data demonstrate the potential of using exopolysaccharides as anti-adenoviral agents.

Nucleophilic substitution of 3-chloro-5-cyano-2-pyrazinecarboxamide by substituted anilines afforded substituted 3-arylamino-5-cyano-2-pyrazinecarboxamides I-X. The structures of compounds were confirmed by elemental analysis, UV, IR and 1H NMR spectra. The assessment of in vitro antimycotic and antimycobacterial activities of the compounds was carried out. The highest antituberculotic activity against M. tuberculosis in this series was shown by 3-anilino- 5-cyano-2-pyrazinecarboxamide (I), whose efficacy was the same as that of pyrazinecarboxamide.

A new approach to the isolation of mutations in mammalian genes was developed which permits both the selection of infrequently occurring mutants that alter the cellular morphology of recipient cells and the rapid reisolation of the mutant gene. The adenovirus type 5 13S early region 1a (E1a) gene was mutagenized in vitro with sodium bisulfite and then efficiently transferred into cells with a retrovirus shuttle vector. Three classes of mutants of the 13S E1a gene product were isolated, each of which induced a distinct morphological alteration. The mutant E1a gene was reisolated from each cell line, and the precise nucleotide changes were determined. The E1a-induced morphological alterations were further examined by the construction of single and double point mutations within different regions of the polypeptides by utilizing the amino acid substitutions obtained from the original mutants. The results suggest that each of the three regions of highly conserved amino acids within the E1a 13S polypeptide has a distinct role in the alteration of cellular morphology and the activation of gene expression.
