    Abstract Combination antiviral therapy may be helpful in the treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection; however, no clinical trial data are available, and combined use of direct-acting antivirals (DAA) and monoclonal antibodies (mAb) has been reported only anecdotally. To assess the cooperative effects of dual drug combinations in vitro, we used a VERO E6 cell-based in vitro system with the ancestral B.1 or the highly divergent BQ.1.1 virus to test pairwise combinations of the licensed DAA, including nirmatrelvir (NRM), remdesivir (RDV) and the active metabolite of molnupiravir (EIDD-1931) as well the combination of RDV with four licensed mAbs (sotrovimab, bebtelovimab, cilgavimab, tixagevimab; tested only with the susceptible B.1 virus). According to SynergyFinder 3.0 summary and weighted scores, all the combinations had an additive effect. Within DAA/DAA combinations, paired scores with the B.1 and BQ.1.1 variants were comparable. In the post hoc analysis weighting synergy by concentrations, several cases of highly synergistic scores were detected at specific drug concentrations, both for DAA/DAA and for RDV/mAb combinations. This was supported by in vitro confirmation experiments showing a more than a linear shift of a drug-effective concentration (IC

    Abstract The use of privileged scaffolds as a starting point for the construction of libraries of bioactive compounds is a widely used strategy in drug discovery and development. Scaffold decoration, morphing and hopping are additional techniques that enable the modification of the chosen privileged framework and better explore the chemical space around it. In this study, two series of highly functionalized pyrimidine and pyridine derivatives were synthesized using a scaffold morphing approach consisting of triazine compounds obtained previously as antiviral agents. Newly synthesized azines were evaluated against lymphoma, hepatocarcinoma, and colon epithelial carcinoma cells, showing in five cases acceptable to good anticancer activity associated with low cytotoxicity on healthy fibroblasts. Finally, ADME in vitro studies were conducted on the best derivatives of the two series showing good passive permeability and resistance to metabolic degradation.

    Abstract Newly emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants may escape monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and antiviral drugs. By using live virus assays, we assessed the ex vivo inhibition of the B.1 wild-type (WT), delta and omicron BA.1 and BA.2 lineages by post-infusion sera from 40 individuals treated with bamlanivimab/etesevimab (BAM/ETE), casirivimab/imdevimab (CAS/IMD), and sotrovimab (SOT) as well as the activity of remdesivir, nirmatrelvir and molnupiravir. mAbs and drug activity were defined as the serum dilution (ID₅₀) and drug concentration (IC₅₀), respectively, showing 50% protection of virus-induced cytopathic effect. All pre-infusion sera were negative for SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing activity. BAM/ETE, CAS/IMD, and SOT showed activity against the WT (ID₅₀ 6295 (4355–8075) for BAM/ETE; 18,214 (16,248–21,365) for CAS/IMD; and 456 (265–592) for SOT) and the delta (14,780 (ID₅₀ 10,905–21,020) for BAM/ETE; 63,937 (47,211–79,971) for CAS/IMD; and 1103 (843–1334) for SOT). Notably, only SOT was active against BA.1 (ID₅₀ 200 (37–233)), whereas BA.2 was neutralized by CAS/IMD (ID₅₀ 174 (134–209) ID₅₀) and SOT (ID₅₀ 20 (9–31) ID₅₀), but not by BAM/ETE. No significant inter-variant IC₅₀ differences were observed for molnupiravir (1.5 ± 0.1/1.5 ± 0.7/1.0 ± 0.5/0.8 ± 0.01 μM for WT/delta/BA.1/BA.2, respectively), nirmatrelvir (0.05 ± 0.02/0.06 ± 0.01/0.04 ± 0.02/0.04 ± 0.01 μM) or remdesivir (0.08 ± 0.04/0.11 ± 0.08/0.05 ± 0.04/0.08 ± 0.01 μM). Continued evolution of SARS-CoV-2 requires updating the mAbs arsenal, although antivirals have so far remained unaffected.

    Abstract Objectives: Doravirine shows a rather distinct resistance profile within the nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) class. This study aimed to evaluate the phenotypic susceptibility to doravirine, rilpivirine and etravirine in a panel of multidrug-resistant (MDR) HIV-1 isolates collected from people living with HIV (PLWH) enrolled in the PRESTIGIO Registry.
    Methods: Recombinant viruses expressing PLWH-derived protease, reverse transcriptase coding regions were generated from plasma samples at virological failure with documented resistance to protease inhibitors, nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, NNRTIs and integrase strand transfer inhibitors. In vitro susceptibility was assessed through a phenotypic assay measuring fold-change values with respect to the reference NL4-3 virus. Genotypic susceptibility was computed by the Stanford HIVdb algorithm 8.9-1.
    Results: Plasma samples were collected from 22 PLWH: 20 (91%) were male, median age 55 years (IQR 50-58), time since HIV-1 diagnosis 27 years (23-31) and time on antiretroviral treatment 23 years (22-26). Median doravirine, etravirine and rilpivirine fold-change values were 9.8 (2.9-40.4), 42.9 (3.1-100.0) and 100.0 (17.9-100.0), respectively. According to the fold-change cut-offs, full susceptibility was observed in five (23%), four (18%) and one (5%) cases with doravirine, etravirine and rilpivirine, respectively. Irrespective of the presence of specific doravirine mutations, higher numbers of NNRTI mutations correlated with higher fold-change values for doravirine. By comparing the distribution of fold-change values with the Stanford HIVdb predicted susceptibility, a significant correlation was detected for doravirine and rilpivirine but not etravirine.
    Conclusion: Despite extensive cross-resistance among NNRTIs, doravirine can be a valid option in a proportion of PLWH with MDR HIV-1. Doravirine activity appeared to be inferred with fair accuracy by the HIVdb algorithm.

    Abstract The plethora of viral outbreaks experienced in the last decade, together with the widespread distribution of many re-emerging and newly emerging viruses, emphasize the urgent need for novel broad-spectrum antivirals as tools for early intervention in case of future epidemics. Non-natural nucleosides have been at the forefront for the treatment of infectious diseases for many years and still represent one of the most successful classes of antiviral molecules on the market. In the attempt to explore the biologically relevant chemical space of this class of antimicrobials, we describe herein the development of novel base-modified nucleosides by converting previously identified 2,6-diaminopurine antivirals into the corresponding D/L ribonucleosides, acyclic nucleosides and prodrug derivatives. A phenotypic screening against viruses belonging to different families (Flaviviridae, Coronaviridae, Retroviridae) and against a panel of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, allowed to identify a few interesting molecules with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activities.
