Abstract

In this study, a novel HSP90 Inhibitor BJ-B11, was synthesized and evaluated for in vitro Antiviral activity against several viruses. Possible anti-HSV-1 mechanisms were also investigated. BJ-B11 displayed no Antiviral activity against coxsackievirus B(3) (CVB(3)), human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and Influenza Virus (H1N1), but exhibited potent anti-HSV-1 and HSV-2 activity with EC(50) values of 0.42±0.18 μM and 0.60±0.21 μM, respectively. Additionally, the inhibitory effects of BJ-B11 against HSV-1 were likely to be introduced at early stage of Infection. Our results indicate that BJ-B11 with alternative mechanisms of action is potent as an anti-HSV clinical trial candidate.
