ANTI-VIRAL TREATMENT AND ASSAY TO istering to said human an effective amount of at least one
SCREENFOR ANTI-VIRAL AGENT compound represented by the formulas 1-19 below:
TECHNICAL FIELD
0001. The present disclosure relates to a method for treat RI
ing humans infected with a virus including various respira
tory viruses such as members of the Paramyxoviridae family
X--
(respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), human metapneumovirus
(HMPV), human parainfluenza virus (HPIV), measles virus,
and mumps virus) with a compound of formulas (1) through
(19). The applications of this disclosure also include those
Cl)- N
2
situations in which preventing virus-induced cytopathic Air NRR2,
effect (CPE) can result in the protection against infections.
The present disclosure also relates to those compounds of this Sch O
disclosure that are novel. The present disclosure also relates 3
to a CPE-based assay that will assess virus-induced CPE for
screening of compounds for treating viral diseases or inhib
iting a virus.
BACKGROUND OF DISCLOSURE
0002 Currently, there are no commercially available vac
cines to protect humans against respiratory syncytial virus 4
(RSV). RSV is associated with substantial morbidity and
mortality and is the most common cause of bronchiolitis and
pneumonia among infants and children under one year of age.
Nevertheless, severe lower respiratory tract disease may
occuratany age, especially among the elderly or among those 5
with compromised cardiac, pulmonary, or immune systems.
The existing therapies for the acute infection are Ribavirin
and the prophylactic humanized monoclonal antibody (Syn
agis(R from MedImmune) that is limited to use in high risk
pediatric patients. The economic impact of RSV infections
due to hospitalizations and indirect medical costs is >S650
million annually. The current health burden of RSV infec
tions has increased effort towards the discovery and develop 6
ment of antivirals and vaccines for the treatment of the dis R3 R4
CaSC.
0003. The hosts or patients treated according to this dis O
closure include humans. R2 R5,
0004 Drug development efforts in this therapeutic area
have been unable to make any significant progress due to a
lack of assays suitable for High Throughput Screening. Virus NY1 R6
instability has made any work with RSV difficult and High O O
Throughput Screening problematic, therefore progress has 7
been slow in drug development. What is disclosed here is a R2 O
novel strategy that circumvents previous problems and has
allowed the development of a HTS assay for drug develop
ment. N21 OR,
SUMMARY OF DISCLOSURE
0005. The present disclosure also relates to a CPE-based
s R4 RI
assay that will assess virus-induced CPE for screening of 8
compounds for treating viral diseases or inhibiting a virus. In R7
particular, the present disclosure is concerned with a method
for Screening for compounds for use as an anti-viral agent R1
against a virus which comprises obtaining frozen cells N2 NN1
infected with said virus, thawing said infected cells and mix R R2
ing said infected cells with uninfected cells of the same type N
as the infected cells, contacting the mixture of said infected
cells and uninfected cells with a compound to be screened and 2
R5 N R3,
determining the viability of said cells.
0006 Another aspect of the present disclosure relates to a R4
method for treating a human infected with a virus by admin
