RESUMEN
We described the synthesis of a new congener series of 1,2,3-triazolyl-4-oxoquinolines and evaluated their ability to inhibit oseltamivir (OST)-resistant influenza strains. Oxoquinoline derivative 1i was the most potent compound within this series, inhibiting 94% of wild-type (WT) influenza neuraminidase (NA) activity. Compound 1i inhibited influenza virus replication with an EC50 of 0.2µM with less cytotoxicity than OST, and also inhibited different OST-resistant NAs. These results suggest that 1,2,3-triazolyl-4-oxoquinolines represent promising lead molecules for further anti-influenza drug design.

Herpes simplex virus is an important human pathogen responsible for a range of diseases from mild uncomplicated mucocutaneous infections to life-threatening ones. Currently, the emergence of Herpes simplex virus resistant strains increased the need for more effective and less cytotoxic drugs for Herpes treatment. In this work, we synthesized a series of oxoquinoline derivatives and experimentally evaluated the antiviral activity against acyclovir resistant HSV-1 strain as well as their cytotoxity profile. The most active compound (3b), named here as Fluoroxaq-3b, showed a promising profile with a better cytotoxicity profile than acyclovir. The theoretical analysis of the structure-activity relationship of these compounds revealed some stereoelectronic properties such as lower LUMO energy and lipophilicity, besides a higher polar surface area and number of hydrogen bond acceptor groups as important parameters for the antiviral activity. Fluoroxaq-3b showed a good oral theoretical bioavailability, according to Lipinski rule of five, with a promising profile for further in vivo analysis.
