EC90: 270 nM (Chikungunya virus)[1] Dihydroorotate Dehydrogenase[1]
CHIKV-IN-2 targets dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH), a key enzyme in the pyrimidine biosynthesis pathway. DHODH catalyzes the oxidation of dihydroorotate to orotate, the fourth step in de novo pyrimidine synthesis. By inhibiting DHODH, CHIKV-IN-2 depletes intracellular pyrimidine pools, which are essential for viral replication. The compound shows potent inhibitory activity against CHIKV through this mechanism. |

| ln Vitro |
CHIKV-IN-2 (compound 8q) is a strong inhibitor of pan-alphaviruses, with EC90s ranging from 0.85 to 2.5 μM for both attenuated vaccine strains and clinical isolates of CHIKV[1]. CHIKV-IN-2 exhibits efficacy against flaviviruses, including West Nile Virus (WNV; EC90=0.20 μM) and Dengue Virus Strain-2 (DENV-2; EC90=0.60 μM), and alphavirus VEEV (EC90=0.40 μM)[1].
In vitro studies demonstrate that CHIKV-IN-2 has excellent cellular antiviral activity against Chikungunya virus with an EC90 of 270 nM. The compound shows inhibitory activity against DHODH. It has improved liver microsomal stability. The compound's antiviral mechanism involves depleting intracellular pyrimidine pools through DHODH inhibition, which limits viral replication. |
| ln Vivo |
CHIKV-IN-2 (compound 8q) (80 mg/kg; intraperitoneally twice daily for three days) dramatically reduces the spread of infectious CHIKV to other mouse tissues[1]. CHIKV-IN-2 (40 mg/kg; po, ip, sc) in mice shows a terminal elimination half-life (t1/2=9.9, 18.5, 18.6 h), a moderate bioavailability (F=41%, 43%, 4%), and a Cmax (642, 858, 90 ng/mL)[1]. In mice, CHIKV-IN-2 (1 mg/kg; iv) displays an AUC of 497 h·ng/mL and a terminal elimination half-life of t1/2= 2.02 h[1].
No detailed in vivo activity data has been published for CHIKV-IN-2. The compound has been primarily characterized in vitro as a research tool for studying Chikungunya virus infection. Its excellent cellular antiviral activity (EC90 = 270 nM) and improved liver microsomal stability suggest that it could have potential for in vivo applications. Further studies would be needed to evaluate its efficacy in animal models of CHIKV infection. |
| Enzyme Assay |
The DHODH inhibitory activity of CHIKV-IN-2 can be assessed using in vitro enzyme assays. In a typical assay, recombinant DHODH is incubated with dihydroorotate, coenzyme Q, and varying concentrations of CHIKV-IN-2. The oxidation of dihydroorotate to orotate is measured spectrophotometrically, and the IC50 is calculated. The antiviral activity is assessed using CHIKV-infected cells. Viral replication is measured by quantifying viral RNA using qRT-PCR or by plaque assays.

| Cell Assay |
The cellular antiviral activity of CHIKV-IN-2 is assessed using CHIKV-infected cell lines. Cells are treated with varying concentrations of CHIKV-IN-2. Viral replication is measured by quantifying viral RNA using qRT-PCR or by plaque assays. The EC90 (270 nM) is calculated from dose-response curves. Cytotoxicity is assessed in uninfected cells using MTT assays. The compound's effect on pyrimidine pools can be measured by HPLC or mass spectrometry.
