The alkaloid 4-methylaaptamine isolated from the sponge Aaptos aaptos impairs Herpes simplex virus type 1 penetration and immediate-early protein synthesis.

Abstract:

:We describe in this paper that the alkaloid 4-methylaaptamine, isolated from the marine sponge Aaptos aaptos, inhibited HSV-1 infection. We initially observed that 4-methylaaptamine inhibited HSV-1 replication in Vero cells in a dose-dependent manner with an EC50 value of 2.4 microM. Moreover, the concentration required to inhibit HSV-1 replication was not cytotoxic, since the CC50 value of 4-methylaaptamine was equal to 72 microM. Next, we found that 4-methylaaptamine sustained antiherpetic activity even when added to HSV-1-infected Vero cells at 4 h after infection, suggesting that this compound inhibits initial events during HSV-1 replication. We observed that 4-methylaaptamine impaired HSV-1 penetration without affecting viral adsorption. In addition, the tested compound could inhibit, in an MOI-dependent manner, the expression of an HSV-1 immediate-early protein, ICP27, thus preventing the inhibition of macromolecular synthesis induced by this virus. Our results warrant further investigation on the pharmacokinetics of 4-methylaaptamine and propose that this alkaloid could be considered as a potential compound for HSV-1 therapy.
