Abstrakt: Dengue (DENV) and Zika (ZIKV) viruses are important human pathogens, causing ∼100 million symptomatic infections each year. These infections carry a 20-fold increased incidence of serious neurological diseases, such as microcephaly in newborns (for ZIKV) and Guillain-Barré syndrome. Moreover, DENV can develop serious and possibly life-threatening dengue hemorrhagic fever in certain patients. Patients recovered from one of the four serotypes of DENV are still susceptible to other serotypes with a higher likelihood of serious disease because of antibody-dependent enhancement. Except for mosquito control, there have been no antiviral drugs to prevent and treat ZIKV/DENV infections. Phenotypic screening found that 2,3,6-trisubstituted quinazolinone compounds are novel inhibitors of ZIKV replication. Fifty-four analogues were synthesized, and their structure-activity relationships are discussed. Additional testing shows that compounds 22 , 27 , and 47 exhibited broad and potent activities against ZIKV and DENV with EC 50 values as low as 86 nM with no significant cytotoxicity to mammalian cells.
