Cyclopentenylcytosine
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Cyclopentenylcytosine (CPEC), a carbocyclic nucleoside analog of cytosine, is a potent inhibitor of CTP synthetase and causes depletion of CTP and dCTP pools. Cyclopentenylcytosine shows broad-spectrum (both DNA and RNA viruses) antiviral activity. Cyclopentenyl cytosine increases Gemcitabine (HY-17026) radiosensitisation in human pancreatic cancer cells. Cyclopentenylcytosine shows effective antiviral activity in the Ad5/NZW rabbit ocular replication model and shows anti-tumor activity in various tumor xenografts model. Cyclopentenylcytosine can be used for the study of infection and cancer.

Cyclopentenylcytosine (0.001-100 µg/mL) exhibits potent antiviral activity against nine common ocular adenovirus types (HAdV8, HAdV19/64, HAdV37 (EKC), HAdV3, HAdV4, HAdV7a,HAdV1, HAdV2, HAdV5) in A549 cells using plaque reduction assays with EC50 values ranging from 0.03 to 0.059 µg/mL [1].
Cyclopentenylcytosine induces rapid and complete differentiation of HL-60 promyelocytic cells, with a concomitant reduction in c-myc RNA levels preceding the appearance of differentiated cells[2].
Cyclopentenylcytosine (0.1 µg/mL, 4 days) reduces the number of viable Vero cells[2].
Cyclopentenylcytosine shows potent activity against HSV-1 (TK+ and TK-) with ID50 values of 0.3 μg/mL and 0.6 μg/mL respectively, against HSV-2 (ID50 = 2.7 μg/mL), vaccinia virus (ID50 = 0.1 μg/mL), Japanese encephalitis virus (ID50 = 0.10 μg/mL), vesicular stomatitis virus (ID50 = 0.25-0.57 μg/mL), yellow fever (ID50 = 5.05 μg/mL), Punta Toro virus (ID50 = 1.01 μg/mL), and Hong Kong influenza virus (ID50 = 18.2 μg/mL) in vitro[2].
Cyclopentenylcytosine (100 nM, 0-4 days) causes accumulation of cells in the S phase and inhibits DNA synthesis in SK-N-BE(2)c cells[3].
Cyclopentenylcytosine (100 nM, 1-4 days) increases caspase-3 activity in SK-N-BE(2)c cells, indicating induction of apoptosis[3].
Cyclopentenylcytosine (30-1000 nM, 4-72 h) specifically reduces CTP levels and increases gemcitabine (dFdC) incorporation into DNA in a dose-dependent manner in human pancreatic cancer cells (Panc-1, Miapaca-2, BxPC-3) and NSCLC cells (SWp)[4].
Cyclopentenylcytosine (100 nM, 48 h) enhances the cytotoxicity of dFdC (300 nM, 4 h) in dFdC-sensitive cells (Panc-1, Miapaca-2, BxPC-3, SWp), increasing growth inhibition, reducing clonogenic capacity, and promoting apoptosis[4].

Resulted in a 19% rate of HAdV5-positive eye cultures overall (2 times daily).
Reduced mean combined HAdV5 ocular titers to 16 Log10 PFU/mL (4 times daily) and 35 Log10 PFU/mL (2 times daily) overall.
Shortened the duration of HAdV5 shedding to 1.3 days (4 times daily) and 2.5 days (2 times daily).
