A series of prodrugs of didanosine were synthesized in an effort to enhance the anti-HIV activity. The 5'-OH function of didanosine was esterified with different aryl piperazine acetic acid derivatives and evaluated for anti-HIV-1 activity in MT-4 cell line using the MTT assay method. Among the synthesized compounds, (tetrahydro-5-(1,6-dihydro-6-oxopurin-9-yl)furan-2-yl)methyl 2-(4-(4-chlorophenyl)piperazin-1-yl)acetate (4b) was found to be the most potent compound with EC50 of 0.64 microM and was not toxic to the MT-4 cells up to 1000 microM with a selectivity index of > 1562. Compound 4b was found to be seven times more potent than the parent drug didanosine (EC50 of 4.8 microM) in vitro. In vitro hydrolysis of the various esters in human plasma indicated that these agents were relatively stable toward plasma esterases with t1/2 ranging from 20-60 min. 相似文献

The anti-HIV activity of new membranotropic compounds, i.e. of the polycarboxylate matrix and of its derivatives modified by adamantane and norbonene, was studied in respect of HIV-1 strains, whose tropicity to coreceptors CCR5 and CXCR4 was different, as well as in respect of HIV-1 variants resistant to azidothymidine (AZT) in a continuous culture of human lymphoid cells (MT-4) and in mononuclear cells of peripheral blood from healthy donors. Testing of complex compounds in a culture of infected MT-4 human lymphoid cells showed an effective inhibition of viral reproduction of LAV.04 (CXCR4-tropic variant) and of HIV11(EVK) as well as AZT-resistant variants. The studied pharmacophores-modified compounds displayed, in infection of the primary culture of human mononuclear cells of the HIV-1 R5 and X4 strains, a notable antiviral activity with their HIV efficiency significantly exceeding the one of the original matrix. 相似文献

A subclonal cl.1–14 cell was established from a monocytic cell line U937 by a limiting dilution method. The anti-HIV-1 activity of some antiviral compounds was evaluated in HIV-1-infected cl.1–14 cells. The results demonstrated that although AZT was a potent inhibitor of HIV-1 replication in cl.1–14 cells, its 50% effective concentration (EC50) values was 80 times higher than that in HIV-1 infected MT-4 cells; the EC50 of AZT was 0.16 μM and 0.002 μM in cl.1–14 and MT-4 cells, respectively. In contrast, the anti-HIV-1 activity of ddA, ddI and ddC in cl.1–14 cells was comparable to that in MT-4 cells. The antiviral activity of nevirapine, dextran sulfate, curdlan sulfate and T22 did not differ significantly between the cl. 1–14 and MT-4 cells. The antiviral activity of several compounds in the HIV-1-infected cl.1–14 cells was similar to that in the HIV-1jr -fl -infected human peripheral macrophages. Our results suggest that cl.1–14 cell cultures are very useful for estimating antiviral activity and more advantageous than the use of peripheral blood macrophages. 相似文献

We describe a competitive, solid-phase radioimmunoassay for metallothionein, which employs a rabbit antiserum directed against rat MT-2 to detect metallothionein (MT) from several different species (rabbit, mouse, rat, Chinese hamster, and human). The lower limit of detection of the assay for rat MT-2 was 0.7 ng; for rabbit MT-2 it was 2 ng. The method is capable of measuring both isoforms of MT (MT-1 and MT-2). When MT levels in rat and mouse tissues were estimated with this RIA and the silver-saturation method, both assays gave the same pattern of MT induction in control and cadmium-treated animals. Both methods measured high levels of MT in human liver samples. Chinese hamster ovary cells induced with cadmium also showed elevated MT expression. The detectability of MTs from a broad range of species is facilitated by the use of solid-phase MT, which has an avidity for the antiserum similar to that of the MT in the tested sample. 相似文献

Titanium (IV) and vanadium (V) complexes are highly potent anticancer agents. A challenge in their synthesis refers to their hydrolytic instability; therefore their preparation should be conducted under an inert atmosphere. Evaluation of the anticancer activity of these complexes can be achieved by the MTT assay.The MTT assay is a colorimetric viability assay based on enzymatic reduction of the MTT molecule to formazan when it is exposed to viable cells. The outcome of the reduction is a color change of the MTT molecule. Absorbance measurements relative to a control determine the percentage of remaining viable cancer cells following their treatment with varying concentrations of a tested compound, which is translated to the compound anticancer activity and its IC50 values. The MTT assay is widely common in cytotoxicity studies due to its accuracy, rapidity, and relative simplicity.Herein we present a detailed protocol for the synthesis of air sensitive metal based drugs and cell viability measurements, including preparation of the cell plates, incubation of the compounds with the cells, viability measurements using the MTT assay, and determination of IC50 values. 相似文献

We studied the physiological role of complement receptor type II (CR2, C3d/EBV receptor) expressed on T cells using MT-2 cells. First, we confirmed CR2 expression on MT-2 cells by flow cytometry and found that the MW of CR2 molecules on these cells and Raji B cells were the same by SDS-PAGE analysis. When MT-2 lysates were incubated with anti-CR2 mAb HB5 and thereafter with 32P-labeled ATP, 52- and 74-kDa proteins were phosphorylated, suggesting the activation of MT-2 cells through the complex of CR2 with these proteins. In this respect, we measured lymphotoxin production by MT-2 cells when incubated with C3d or EBV. The cytotoxicity of the MT-2 supernatant against L929 cells was elevated in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Next, we confirmed EBNA expression on EBV-infected MT-2 cells and attempted to establish an EBV-positive MT-2 clone by in vitro EBV infection. However, these clones disappeared during cloning. To clarify this mechanism, we examined the EBV genome in MT-2 cells. By Southern blot analysis, BamHI digestion of DNA extracts from MT-2 cells 3 days after EBV treatment gave a 3.0-kb signal which comigrated with the EBV BamHI-W probe. The 3.0-kb signal of genomic EBV-DNA was detected at 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7 days after EBV treatment, but could not be detected at 14 days. Thus, natural ligands of CR2 stimulate CR2-positive MT-2 cells through their functionally active CR2 molecules and in vitro EBV infection of MT-2 cells might be transient. 相似文献

A panel of primary syncytium-inducing (SI) human immunodeficiency virus type 1 isolates that infected several CD4+ T-cell lines, including MT-2 and C8166, were tested for infection of blood-derived macrophages. Infectivity titers for C8166 cells and macrophages demonstrated that primary SI strains infected macrophages much more efficiently than T-cell line-adapted HIV-1 strains such as LAI and RF. These primary SI strains were therefore dual-tropic. Nine biological clones of two SI strains, prepared by limiting dilution, had macrophage/C8166 infectivity ratios similar to those of their parental viruses, indicating that the dual-tropic phenotype was not due to a mixture of non-SI/macrophage-tropic and SI/T-cell tropic viruses. We tested whether the primary SI strains used either Lestr (fusin) or CCR5 as coreceptors. Infection of cat CCC/CD4 cells transiently expressing Lestr supported infection by T-cell line-adapted strains including LAI, whereas CCC/CD4 cells expressing CCR5 were sensitive to primary non-SI strains as well as to the molecularly cloned strains SF-162 and JR-CSF. Several primary SI strains, as well as the molecularly cloned dual-tropic viruses 89.6 and GUN-1, infected both Lestr+ and CCR5+ CCC/CD4 cells. Thus, these viruses can choose between Lestr and CCR5 for entry into cells. Interestingly, some dual-tropic primary SI strains that infected Lestr+ cells failed to infect CCR5+ cells, suggesting that these viruses may use an alternative coreceptor for infection of macrophages. Alternatively, CCR5 may be processed or presented differently on cat cells so that entry of some primary SI strains but not others is affected. 相似文献

Failure of current anticancer drugs mandates screening for new compounds of synthetic or biological origin to be used in cancer
therapy. Multidrug resistance (MDR) is one of the main obstacles in the chemotherapy of cancer. Efflux of cytotoxic agents
mediated by P-glycoprotein (P-gp or MDR1) is believed to be an important mechanism of multidrug resistance. Therefore, we
decided to investigate the antiproliferative effects of seven newly synthesized 1,4-dihydropyridine (DHP) derivatives in comparison
to verapamil (VP) and doxorubicin (DOX) on human breast cancer T47D cells and its MDR1 overexpressed and moderately resistant
cells (RS cells) using MTT cytotoxicity assay. We also examined the effects of these compounds on cytotoxicity of DOX in these
two cell types. The cytotoxicity assays using MTT showed that most of the tested new DHP derivatives and VP at 10 μM concentration
had varying levels of toxicity on both T47D and RS cells. The toxicity was mostly in the range of 10–25%. However, the cytotoxicity
of these DHP derivatives, similar to VP, was significantly less than DOX when comparing IC50 values. Furthermore, these compounds in general had relatively more cytotoxicity on T47D vs RS cells at 10-μM concentration.
Among new DHPs, compounds 7a (3,5-dibenzoyl-4-(2-methylthiazol-4-yl)-1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethylpyridine) and 7d (3,5-diacetyl-4-[2-(2-chlorophenyl)thiazol-4-yl)]-1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethylpyridine)
showed noticeable potentiation of DOX cytotoxicity (reduction of DOX IC50) compared to DOX alone in both cells, particularly in RS cells. This effect was similar to that of VP, a known prototype
of MDR1 reversal agent. In other words, compounds 7a and 7d resensitized RS cells to DOX or reversed their resistance. Results
indicate that compound 7d exerts highest effect on RS cells. Therefore, these two newly synthesized DHP derivatives, compounds
7a and 7d, are promising as potential new MDR1 reversal agents and should be further studied on other highly resistant cells
due to MDR1 overexpression and with further molecular investigation. 相似文献

Biliverdin (BV), a bile pigment, was examined for its antiviral activity against human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6) in vitro. BV (10 micrograms/ml) markedly inhibited HHV-6 replication in MT-4 cells when the cells were treated during a virus adsorption period. Its antiviral effect was weakened when cells were treated after adsorption. Treatment of cells with BV (40 micrograms/ml) 3 hr after virus infection had no inhibitory effect on virus replication. Virus replication was also significantly inhibited by treatment of MT-4 cells with BV (10 micrograms/ml) before infection, while the virions were not inactivated by BV (20 micrograms/ml). Bilirubin and urobilin, metabolic derivatives of BV, showed slight inhibitory effects on virus replication in the cells. On the other hand, BV had no potent inhibitory activity in the replication of herpes simplex virus-1 or human cytomegalovirus. These observations suggest that BV could interact with MT-4 cells to inhibit an early stage of HHV-6 infection in a virus-specific manner. 相似文献

Abstract 5′-End-modified pentadecadeoxyribonucleotides (15mers) with a sequence complementary to the tat 2nd splicing acceptor region of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) were prepared and evaluated for anti-HIV-1 activity. The structures of modified 15mers were confirmed by negative ion LSI mass spectroscopy, and the anti-HIV-1 activities were evaluated in vitro by MTT assay using MT-4 cells. While the unmodified 15mer had no activity in our assay system, the 15mers bearing modifications with trityl-type substituents at the 5′-end showed potent anti-HIV-1 activities. 相似文献

Coreceptor usage of primary human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) isolates varies according to biological phenotype. The chemokine receptors CCR5 and CXCR4 are the major coreceptors that, together with CD4, govern HIV-1 entry into cells. Since CXCR4 usage determines the biological phenotype for HIV-1 isolates and is more frequent in patients with immunodeficiency, it may serve as a marker for viral virulence. This possibility prompted us to study coreceptor usage by HIV-2, known to be less pathogenic than HIV-1. We tested 11 primary HIV-2 isolates for coreceptor usage in human cell lines: U87 glioma cells, stably expressing CD4 and the chemokine receptor CCR1, CCR2b, CCR3, CCR5, or CXCR4, and GHOST(3) osteosarcoma cells, coexpressing CD4 and CCR5, CXCR4, or the orphan receptor Bonzo or BOB. The indicator cells were infected by cocultivation with virus-producing peripheral blood mononuclear cells and by cell-free virus. Our results show that 10 of 11 HIV-2 isolates were able to efficiently use CCR5. In contrast, only two isolates, both from patients with advanced disease, used CXCR4 efficiently. These two isolates also promptly induced syncytia in MT-2 cells, a pattern described for HIV-1 isolates that use CXCR4. Unlike HIV-1, many of the HIV-2 isolates were promiscuous in their coreceptor usage in that they were able to use, apart from CCR5, one or more of the CCR1, CCR2b, CCR3, and BOB coreceptors. Another difference between HIV-1 and HIV-2 was that the ability to replicate in MT-2 cells appeared to be a general property of HIV-2 isolates. Based on BOB mRNA expression in MT-2 cells and the ability of our panel of HIV-2 isolates to use BOB, we suggest that HIV-2 can use BOB when entering MT-2 cells. The results indicate no obvious link between viral virulence and the ability to use a multitude of coreceptors. 相似文献

Epidermal growth factor (EGF)-induced down-regulation of its receptor is an obligatory pathway for cellular regulation of EGF-specific receptor (EGF-R) in normal and malignant cells. BNER4 cells are mouse Balb/3T3 cells transfected with the human EGF-R complementary DNA (cDNA). Polyoma middle T antigen-transfectants of BNER4, B4/MT-2, B4/MT-13, B4/MT-23, and B4/MT-24, showed diminished down-regulation of cell surface human EGF-R in response to EGF relative to the parental BNER4 cells. Also, the v-src-transfectants B4/SRC-13 and B4/SRC-24 showed much less down-regulation than BNER4 cells, whereas H-ras-transfectants of BNER4, B4/RAS-24 and B4/RAS-25, showed EGF-induced down-regulation of the cell surface EGF-R similar to that of BNER4. EGF induced DNA synthesis more than 20-fold in BNER4, but induced only about a 1.5- to 6-fold increase in the middle T antigen- and v-src-transfectants. EGF-Rs of the middle T antigen-transfectants were metabolically stable in the presence of EGF in comparison with their parental BNER4 cells. EGF-Rs of BNER4 cells degraded with half-lives of about 2 h in the presence of EGF, but those of the middle T antigen transformants were found to be highly stabilized in the presence of EGF. On the other hand, transfection with polyoma middle T antigen (MTAg) cDNA causes malignant transformation of Balb/3T3 cells, but not its monensin (an ionophoric antibiotic)-resistant mutant MO-5 cells, which have no significant EGF binding activity. Transfection of human EGF-R cDNA into MO-5 leads to the expression of high levels of human EGF-R in MNER31. Unlike the polyoma MTAg transfectants of BNER4, EGF-R in polyoma MTAg cDNA-transfectants into MNER31, M31/MT-13 and M31/MT-14, were down-regulated to levels similar to those of their parental MNER31. Exposure to EGF induced a more than 10-fold increase in DNA synthesis of quiescent BNER4, MNER31, M31/MT-13, and M31/MT-14 cells. Polyoma middle T antigen or v-src appears to modulate EGF-induced down-regulation of EGF-R, possibly through interaction of the receptor with the viral oncogenes, and this interaction may be altered in the mutant. 相似文献

2-Alkylamino-6-[1-(2,6-difluorophenyl)alkyl]-3,4-dihydro-5-alkylpyrimidin-4(3H)-ones (F(2)-NH-DABOs) 4, 5 belonging to the dihydro-alkoxy-benzyl-oxopyrimidine (DABO) family and bearing different alkyl- and arylamino side chains at the C(2)-position of the pyrimidine ring were designed as active against wild type (wt) human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and some relevant HIV-1 mutants. Biological evaluation indicated the importance of the further anchor point of compounds 4, 5 into the non-nucleoside binding site (NNBS): newly synthesized compounds were highly active against both wild type and the Y181C HIV-1 strains. In anti-wt HIV-1 assay the potency of amino derivatives did not depend on the size or shape of the C(2)-amino side chain, but it associated with the presence of one or two methyl groups (one at the pyrimidine C(5)-position and the other at the benzylic carbon), being thymine, alpha-methyluracil or alpha-methylthymine derivatives almost equally active in reducing wt HIV-1-induced cytopathogenicity in MT-4 cells. Against the Y181C mutant strain, 2,6-difluorobenzyl-alpha-methylthymine derivatives 4d, 5h'-n' showed the highest potency and selectivity among tested compounds, both a properly sized C(2)-NH side chain and the presence of two methyl groups (at C(5) and benzylic positions) being crucial for high antiviral action. 相似文献

A sensitive nonisotopic method for the determination of intracellular azidothymidine 5'-mono-, 5'-di-, and 5'-triphosphate. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
In order to analyze the efficacy of azidothymidine (AZT), it is important to know intracellular concentrations of AZT metabolites. However, it has been impossible to measure intracellular AZT 5'-monophosphate (AZT-MP), AZT 5'-diphosphate (AZT-DP), and AZT 5'-triphosphate (AZT-TP) without using isotopes. In the present study, we developed a new method to measure intracellular AZT metabolites without radiolabeled compounds. The method employed was a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system programmed for column switching technique, in which two columns were used: column 1 (TSK-G2000-SW, 300 x 7.5 mm) to preseparate AZT metabolites from major cell components, and column 2 (YMC-A-312-ODS, 150 x 6 mm) to determine the metabolites. The limit of detectability of this system was 3.3 pmol/injection. When MT-4 cells were incubated with various concentrations of AZT, intracellular concentrations of AZT-MP increased in parallel with extracellular AZT. Those of AZT-DP and AZT-TP, however, reached plateaus at 5 and 2 microM of AZT, respectively. In MT-4 and Molt-4 cells incubated with 5 microM AZT, concentrations of AZT-MP increased time dependently, while the AZT-DP/AZT-MP ratios decreased with time. These data suggest that high dose of AZT may not necessarily increase intracellular concentration of AZT-TP. The concentrations of AZT metabolites in peripheral blood mononuclear cells in a patient with AIDS and an asymptomatic carrier were measured; the concentrations were comparable to those in cultured cells. Quantitative analysis of intracellular AZT metabolites without the use of isotopes will increase safety and convenience of measurement, and take an effective step in studying pharmacokinetics of AZT in clinical materials. 相似文献

IL-2 production in human T lymphotropic virus I-infected leukemic T lymphocytes analyzed by in situ hybridization 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

In situ hybridization studies were performed with 35S-labeled anti-sense RNA probes to study IL-2 mRNA expression in three human T lymphotropic virus I-infected T cell lines at the single cell level. In HuT 102, MT-2, and MT-4 cells, IL-2 mRNA-expressing cells were identified, occurring at frequencies of 2 x 10(-2), 8 x 10(-3), and 5 x 10(-3), respectively. In these cell lines, IL-2 mRNA was not detectable in RNA extracted from whole adult T cell leukemia cell populations because of dilution by other RNA species from the vast majority of cells that do not contain IL-2 mRNA. The data indicate the possibility of paracrine growth stimulation via IL-2 and its receptor even in those human T lymphotropic virus I-infected T cell populations that apparently lack IL-2 activity when analyzed by conventional assay procedures. 相似文献

Water-soluble vitamin, niacin, and its related compounds were examined for their differentiation-inducing activity in human promyelocytic leukemia cells (HL-60). Among the compounds, which inhibited cell proliferation measured by MTT assay, isonicotinic acid, nicotinamide N-oxide, and nicotinamide induced NBT reducing activity. HL-60 cells were differentiated into granulocyte-like cells by these compounds, judging from morphological changes and loss of nonspecific esterase activity. The differentiation-inducing activity of water-soluble vitamin and its related compounds suggest that these compounds may be applicable for medical use. 相似文献

A biological response modifier, PSK, inhibits human immunodeficiency virus infection in vitro 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

PSK, a biological response modifier (BRM), was studied to determine its anti-viral activity on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in vitro. Either a novel infection system using human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I)-carrying MT-4 cells or a coculture system using MOLT-4 cells and its virus-producing cells MOLT-4/HIVHTLV-IIIB which induces multinucleated giant cells very efficiently was used. PSK almost completely blocked the cytopathic effect such as giant cell formation and HIV-specific antigen expression both in MT-4 cells and MOLT-4 cells at a concentration of 0.4 and 0.8 mg/ml, respectively. Pretreatment of the virus with PSK may specifically interfere with early stages of HIV infection by modifying the viral receptor. 相似文献
