ABSTRACT
Chikungunya fever is an acute infectious disease caused by Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) and transmitted by Aedes mosquito. It is characterized by fever, rash and arthralgia with no effective drugs. Lomerizine (Lom) is a new generation calcium antagonist, which is mainly used in the treatment of migraine. Certain antiviral function of Lom was shown by some research. In our study, a series of new derivatives of Lom were designed and synthesized, and their in-vitro anti-CHIKV activity was tested. The results showed that Lom and its derivatives had potent anti-CHIKV activity and low cytotoxicity. Among them, compounds B1 and B7 showed most potent antiviral activity. Besides, structure-activity relationships, in-silico ADMET properties were also analyzed. Molecular docking study was performed to rationalize the SAR and analyze the possible binding modes between B1 and amino acid residues in the active site of nsP3 protein to enhance the understanding of their action as antiviral agents. These finding provides research basis for the design and synthesis of effective anti-CHIKV drugs with Lom as the lead compound.
