BACKGROUND ART
Picorna viruses are the smallest known animal RNA viruses, they have 7 genera, i.e., rhinovirus genus, enterovirus genus, aphthovirus genus, cardiovirus genus, hepatovirus genus and dual echovirus genus, and other unclassified picorna viruses. Picorna viruses may cause many diseases such as respiratory diseases, hand-foot-mouth diseases, meningitis/encephalitis, poliomyelitis, cardiovascular diseases, hemorrhagic conjunctivitis, hepatitis, etc.
There was a great progression in virology in the later period of 1980s. Several important events in viral life cycle were well described, and many molecular targets had been confirmed. In addition, some novel antiviral drugs appeared during the recent years also promote the rapid development of virology. Picorna virus inhibitors are exactly in increased research stage. The action target of these inhibitors is viral protein 1 (VP1), which has a relatively conservative capsid structure and mediates the adhesion/uncoating process of virus.

Preventive Administration:
Principle: the drug and the virus were pre-mixed and incubated to block the procedure of viral uncoating and invasion into cells.
Methods: the drug at a concentration of 100 ng/ml was placed into a 12-well plate, then viral dose at TCID50 value of about 100 was added, after 0.5 h, 500,000 cells were added into each well, and incubated at 33° C. After three days, when the control group presented 100% cytopathic effect (CPE), the effects of the drug for preventing cells from being phagocytized were observed, and expressed as cell protection rate (%). The results of the preventive administration indicated that different compounds provided various extent of protection effect for cells from being phagocytized; wherein the compounds of Examples 4, 13, 31 and 32 exhibited better effects (see FIG. 1).
Therapeutic Administration:
Purpose: further screening for drugs that exhibited better effects in preventive administration.
Method: 500,000 cells were added into each well, incubated at 33° C. overnight for adherence, then viral dose at TCID50 value of about 100 was added, the culture medium was removed by absorption after 0.5 h, the drug was added into a 12-well plate at a concentration of 100 ng/ml, the total volume of the reaction system was 2 ml. After three days, when the virus control group presented 100% cytophagocytesis (CPE), the effects of the drug for preventing cells from being phagocytized were observed. The results showed that different compounds provided different extents of protection for cells from being phagocytized; wherein the compounds of Example 31 exhibited better effects (see FIG. 2).
Preliminary Results of ex vivo Level Anti-Rhinovirus Drug Screening
Preparation of Tracheal Ring: Rabbits were Executed by Intravenous injection of overdose pentobarbital sodium, then trachea was taken out, tissues and epithelial cells linked to the trachea were peeled off, then the trachea was divided into rings with a width of 6-8 mm.
Method for drug treatment: the tracheal rings were placed in 1640+2% FCS nutritive medium, at the same time, the drug (final concentration: 100 μg/ml) and rhinovirus (final concentration: 106) were added, reacted at 33° C. for 90 min, then reacted at 23° C. for 24 h. 10 μg/ml did not exhibit significant therapeutic effects.
Measurement of constriction and dilatation strength: the tracheal rings were suspended on a triangle support, reached to equilibrium in a 37° C. Havard 20-ml organ bath, exposed to ACh10-7 ̃10-3M, and the maximum constriction or maximum dilatation force under each concentration was recorded, and the results were shown in Table 1 and FIG. 3.
