Viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) is a fish pathogen responsible for causing enormous economic loss to the aquaculture industry not only in Korea but worldwide. Thus, it is necessary to identify natural compounds that can be used to control the spread of VHSV. In this study, the anti-VHSV activities of five catechol derivatives, i.e., catechol, pyrogallol, 3-methyl catechol, veratrole, and 3-methyl veratrole-extracted from green tea-were assessed. The antiviral activities of these derivatives were found to be dependent on their structure, i.e., the hydroxyl or methoxyl group and their substituent groups-on the benzene ring. Catechol, pyrogallol, and 3-methyl catechol exhibited relatively high 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activities than veratrole, and 3-methyl veratrole. Moreover, 3-methyl catechol harboring a methyl substituent group increased the viability of the virus-infected cells and resulted in a 2.86 log reduction in the gene copies of VHSV N (per mL) in real-time PCR analysis. In conclusion, the catechol derivatives harboring hydroxyl groups in their benzene ring exhibited higher antioxidant activities than those harboring the methoxyl groups. However, catechol derivatives with a methyl group at the 3'-position of the benzene ring exhibited higher antiviral activity than those harboring a hydroxyl group. To our knowledge, this is the first study to evaluate the relationship between the structure and the anti-VHSV activity of catechol derivatives.

Fourteen melandrin derivatives(I-XIV) were investigated on analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antiviral activities . Compound I [N-(p-hydroxybenzoyl)-5-hydroxyanthranilic acid methvl ester], Xll [N-(2-phenoxypropionyl)-5-hydroxy anthranilic acid propyl ester and XIV [N-(2-phenoxypropionyl)-5-hydroxyanthranilic acid exhibited analgesic activity in tail pressure and Randall-Selitto method. But no anti-inflammatory activity was shown. Compound I exhibited weak antiviral activity on Herpes simplex virus type I F strain by virus-induced cytopathic effect(CPE) assay and it's selectivity index(Sl) was 8.17.

Based on (-)-neplanocin A with the 5'-hydroxyl substituted with fluoro, azido, or amino group, the corresponding xylo- and arabino derivatives were synthesized from D-ribose using the Mit-sunobu reaction as a key step. None of the final nucleosides did show either significant antiviral activities or cytotoxicities.

Chrysin is a 5,7-dihydroxyflavone and was recently shown to potently inhibit enterovirus 71 (EV71) by suppressing viral 3C protease ($3C^{pro}$ activity. In the current study, we investigated whether chrysin also shows antiviral activity against coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3), which belongs to the same genus (Enterovirus) as EV71, and assessed its ability to prevent the resulting acute pancreatitis and myocarditis. We found that chrysin showed antiviral activity against CVB3 at $10{\mu}M$, but exhibited mild cellular cytotoxicity at $50{\mu}M$, prompting us to synthesize derivatives of chrysin to increase the antiviral activity and reduce its cytotoxicity. Among four 4-substituted benzyl derivatives derived from C(5) benzyl-protected derivatives 7, 9-11 had significant antiviral activity and showed the most potent activity against CVB3 with low cytotoxicity in Vero cells. Intraperitoneal injection of CVB3 in BALB/c mice with $1{\times}10^6TCID_{50}$ (50% tissue culture infective dose) of CVB3 induced acute pancreatitis with ablation of acinar cells and increased serum CXCL1 levels, whereas the daily administration of 9 for 5 days significantly alleviated the pancreatic inflammation and reduced the elevation in serum CXCL1 levels. Collectively, we assessed the anti-CVB3 activities of chrysin and its derivatives, and found that among 4-substituted benzyl derivatives, 9 exhibited the highest activity against CVB3 in vivo, and protected mice from CVB3-induced pancreatic damage, simultaneously lowering serum CXCL1 levels.

노로바이러스는 인간에게 급성위장염을 일으키는 식중독 바이러스로, 최근 전세계적으로 노로바이러스 식중독 사고가 증가하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 다양한 생리활성 작용이 있다고 알려진 향신료, 차(茶), 식물성 한약재등 11종의 천연물질을 대상으로 노로바이러스의 대체모델인 feline calicivirus (FCV 에 대한 항바이러스 활성을 조사하였다. 각 추출물에 대한 항바이러스 활성은 end point dilution assay 방법인 50% tissue culture infectious dose ($TCID_{50}$)으로 바이러스 감염가를 측정하였다. 녹차(Camellia sinensis L.) 추출물의 경우 3.13 mg/ml의 농도에서 1 시간만에 FCV가 완전히 불활성화 되었으며, 홍화씨 (Carthamus tinctorius L.) 추출물은 6.25 mg/ml의 농도에서 5시간 만에 바이러스가 불활성화 되어 녹차추출물이 FCV에 대한 항바이러스 활성이 가장 뛰어난 것으로 조사되었으며, 농도 및 반응시간에 유의적으로 항바이러스 활성을 나타내는 것으로 관찰되었다. 녹차 및 홍화씨 추출물 등과 같은 천연식물 자원을 이용하여 FCV에 대한 항바이러스 활성을 조사한 결과는 궁극적으로는 노로바이러스에 의한 식중독 저감을 위한 기초자료에 이용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Influenza viruses cause significant morbidity and mortality in humans through epidemics or pandemics. Currently, two classes of anti-influenza virus drugs, M2 ion-channel inhibitors (amantadin and rimantadine) and neuraminidase inhibitors (oseltamivir and zanamivir), have been used for the treatment of the influenza virus infection. Since the resistance to these drugs has been reported, the development of a new antiviral agent is necessary. In this study, we examined the antiviral efficacy of the plant extracts against the influenza A/PR/8/34 infection. In vitro, the antiviral activities of the plant extracts were investigated using the cell-based screening. Three plant extracts, Thuja orientalis, Aster spathulifolius, and Pinus thunbergii, were shown to induce a high cell viability rate after the infection with the influenza A/PR/8/34 virus. The antiviral activity of the plant extracts also increased as a function of the concentration of the extracts and these extracts significantly reduced the visible cytopathic effect caused by virus infections. Furthermore, the treatment with T. orientalis was shown to have a stronger inhibitory effect than that with A. spathulifolius or P. thunbergii. These results may suggest that T. orientalis has anti-influenza A/PR/8/34 activity.

Macrophages play an important role in host defenses by killing tumors and virus infections and producing secretory products. High mannuronic acid (HMA) containing alginate was examined to determine the mechanisms by which HMA-activated macrophages resist infection with HSV-1 and inhibit the growth of tumor cells. The ability of macro phages to resist infection with HSV-1 or to inhibit the growth of tumor cells was assessed following treatment with HMA alginate in the presence of either antibodies to various cytokines or inhibitors/scavengers of toxic macrophage products. Only antibodies to IFN-$\alpha$/$\beta$ were able to abrogate the protective effects of HMA alginate in macrophages infected with HSV-1, suggesting that the antiviral activity induced by this immunomodulator was mediated by the production of IFN-$\beta$. In contrast, anti-TNF-$\alpha$, anti-IFN and inhibitors of nitric oxide and reactive oxygen species were all able to partially abrogate HMA-induced cytostatic activity, suggesting that multiple mechanisms are involved in macrophage cytostasis. These results indicate that the HMA-induced intrinsic antiviral and extrinsic cytotoxic activites are mediated by different mechanisms.

본 연구에서는 마이크로웨이브를 이용하여 추출한 측백나무 잎의 성분을 분석하고 세포독성, 항균 및 항바이러스 활성을 평가하였다. 마이크로웨이브 추출법에 따른 주요 성분은 catechin, leucopelargonidin, arecatannin, quinolone 및 kaempferol 유도체 등으로 나타나 플라보노이드와 탄닌 계열 물질을 함유하고 있는 것을 확인하였다. 인간 상피세포 (HaCaT)를 대상으로 한 세포독성 평가에서는 0.11 mg/mL 농도에서 독성이 나타나지 않음을 보였다. 항균 성능은 외용 소독제(의약외품) 효력평가법 가이드라인에 따라 측정하였으며 1.11 mg/mL 농도에서는 그람 음성균인 대장균에 대해 항균 효과가 낮은 반면, 그람 양성균인 황색포도상구균에 대해서는 99.9%의 항균 효율을 나타내었다. 또한, 추출물의 농도를 높이고 균과의 접촉 시간을 증가시킬 경우 대장균에 대해서도 99.9%의 항균 효율을 나타낼 수 있음을 보였다. 항균 활성 외에도 바이러스에 대한 살균제의 활성을 측정하는 표준(ASTM E1052-20)에 따라 평가 결과 인플루엔자 A (H1N1)와 SARS-CoV-2에 대해 99.99% 이상의 항바이러스 활성을 가지고 있음을 확인하였다. 이 결과들은 측백나무 추출물이 항바이러스 소독제나 표면 코팅제, 개인 보호용구 및 방역용 섬유 소재로서 응용될 수 있음을 시사한다.
