Quaternary Ammonium Salts Based on (-)-Borneol as Effective Inhibitors of Influenza Virus
Abstract A new compounds containing 1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptane fragment has been found to exhibit potent inhibitory activity against the influenza A(H1N1) virus. The most potent antiviral compound 10a is a quaternary ammonium salt based on (-)-borneol, with a therapeutic index of more than 500. Mechanism-of-action studies for compound 10a were performed. The compound appeared the most effective when added at the early stages of viral life cycle. In direct hemagglutinin inhibition tests the agent, 10a, was shown to decrease the activity of hemagglutinin of influenza virus A/Puerto Rico/8/34. According to the results of molecular modelling, the lead-compound, 10a, can attach at the binding sites of the stem part of the HA. These results prove that monoterpenoids with 1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptane fragment are prospective natural compounds for the development of antiviral agents.
