Title: 2,3,4-Trihydroxybenzyl-hydrazide analogues as novel potent coxsackievirus B3 3C protease inhibitors.

Abstract: Human coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) 3C protease plays an essential role in the viral replication of CVB3, which is a non-enveloped and positive single-stranded RNA virus belonging to Picornaviridae family, causing acute viral myocarditis mainly in children. During optimization based on SAR studies of benserazide (3), which was reported as a novel anti-CVB3 3C(pro) agent from a screening of compound libraries, the 2,3,4-trihydroxybenzyl moiety of 3 was identified as a key pharmacophore for inhibitory activity against CVB3 3C(pro). Further optimization was performed by the introduction of various aryl-alkyl substituted hydrazide moieties instead of the serine moiety of 3. Among the optimized compounds, 11Q, a 4-hydroxyphenylpentanehydrazide derivative, showed the most potent inhibitory activity (IC50 = 0.07 μM). Enzyme kinetics studies indicated that 11Q exhibited a mixed inhibitory mechanism of action. The antiviral activity against CVB3 was confirmed using the further derived analogue (14b) with more cell permeable valeryl ester group at the 2,3,4-trihydroxy moiety.
