Abstract |
This study aimed to examine the antiviral effects of shikonin ester ((R)-1-(5, 8-dihydroxy-1,4-dioxo-1,4-dihydronaphthalen-2-yl)-4-methylpent-3-en-1-yl3-(1H- indol-3-yl) propanoate (PMM-034) against influenza A (H1N1) virus. We investigated PMM-034 anti-H1N1 activity and its effect on caspase 3 gene expression during cellular apoptosis after influenza virus infection in vitro. Neuraminidase (NA) inhibition was assessed in comparison with oseltamivir in the influenza virus standard strains A/PR/8/34 to understand the viral mechanism. MDCK and A549 cells were used to investigate influenza viral infection and the structure-activity relationship between PMM-034 and NA was evaluated by pharmacophore-based docking modeling. The production of viral protein was tested by western blot. A/PR/8/34 induced cell inhibition but this was reduced by PMM-034 to 16μg/mL and this showed a selective index of 10mM. PMM-034 inhibited NA in a dose dependent manner, similar to oseltamivir inhibition. A sharp decrease in viral nucleocapsid protein mRNA was observed in infected cells after treatment with PMM-034. Apoptosis of infected A459 cells was inhibited by PMM-034 with decreased caspase 3 levels. ARG 118, ARG 152, ARG 371 and GLU 227 in the binding pocket of NA bound to PMM-034 in the docking model. Taken together, these results suggest PMM-034 shikonin ester blocked H1N1 infection and might be a potential anti-H1N1 drug.
