Anti-virus agent 2
Anti-virus agent 2 is an orally active and selective anti-orthopoxvirus (poxvirus) agent, with EC50 values of 6.1 μM and 47.1 μM against VTT-Fluc and MPXV clade IIb, respectively. Anti-virus agent 2 covalently binds to viral A17L protein and mRNA methyltransferase, blocks viral membrane fusion and intracellular biosynthesis, and acts on multiple stages of the viral replication cycle. Anti-virus agent 2 achieves viral inhibition in nude mouse models. Anti-virus agent 2 can be used for the research of orthopoxvirus infections such as monkeypox and smallpox.

Biological Activity
Anti-virus agent 2 (compound 8l) potently inhibits VTT-Fluc replication in Vero cells with an EC50 of 6.1 μM and a selective index of 64.7, and moderately inhibits MPXV clade IIb replication in Vero cells with an EC50 of 47.1 μM[1].
Anti-virus agent 2 (5-25 μM; 1 h at specified time points, followed by 23 h culture) interferes with viral membrane fusion and intracellular biosynthesis stages of VTT-Fluc replication in Vero cells when administered 1 hour postinfection[1].
Anti-virus agent 2 (60 s association, 60 s dissociation) binds specifically to viral cap-specific mRNA methyltransferase with a KD of 7.64 μM[1].
Anti-virus agent 2 (40 μM; 2 h, then heated at 37-73 °C for 4 min) enhances the thermal stability of viral cap-specific mRNA methyltransferase, confirming a high-affinity interaction[1].
Anti-virus agent 2 binds specifically to viral A17L protein with a KD of 7.28 μM, and binds weakly to human cap methyltransferase 2 with a KD of 491 μM, demonstrating selectivity for viral MTase over the human homolog[1].
Anti-virus agent 2 (6.25-100 μM; 24 h) has low cytotoxicity in human A549, H460, and CX-1 cell lines, with CC50 values greater than 100 μM[1].
Anti-virus agent 2 forms a covalent Michael addition adduct with L-serine, and covalently modifies Ser155 of viral cap-specific mRNA methyltransferase and Ser140 of viral A17L protein via Michael addition[1].
