IC50: 29.97 μM (EBOV), 47.72 μM (MARV)[1]
SP-187 functions as an α-glucosidase inhibitor. By inhibiting α-glucosidase, an enzyme involved in the processing of glycoproteins in the endoplasmic reticulum, it disrupts the folding and function of viral glycoproteins. This host-targeted approach prevents the proper assembly and release of enveloped viruses, such as filoviruses (e.g., Ebola), influenza, and dengue virus. |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
Using a yield-plaque assay technique, the antiviral activity of iminosugar SP187 (UV-4) against EBOV and MARV is evaluated in vitro, and the IC50 is found. With an IC50 of 29.97 and 47.72 μM for EBOV and MARV, respectively, antiviral activity for SP187 is noted[1].
In vitro, SP-187 has activity against filovirus infections (e.g., Ebola, Marburg). It is also active against influenza and dengue viruses in vitro. Its antiviral activity is characterized by the inhibition of viral replication in cell culture, with EC50 values in the low micromolar range, as measured by plaque reduction or viral RNA quantification. |
| ln Vivo |
Using a mouse model of EBOV infection, the effectiveness of UV-5, the most potent iminosugar studied in vitro, and SP187 (UV-4), the active free base component of UV-4B, is first evaluated. In this work, oral gavage or IP injection of 10 or 100 mg/kg of SP187 or UV-5 is given to C57Bl/6 mice. Dosing began approximately one hour before to infection with 1000 pfu of mouse-adapted EBOV. For ten days, BID dosing was repeated at roughly 12-hour intervals for UV-5 or TID dosing at roughly 8-hour intervals for SP187. The chosen dosages and timing are derived on studies on mouse naïve tolerance. When comparing the iminosugar-treated mice to the vehicle control, no effectiveness is seen[1].
In vivo, SP-187 has been shown to be effective against influenza and dengue viruses in animal models. It has also demonstrated activity against filovirus infections in vivo. It is used for therapeutic purposes against these viral infections in research settings, improving survival and reducing viral load in infected animals. |
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme assays for SP-187 typically measure the inhibition of α-glucosidase activity. The enzyme (e.g., from rat intestine or recombinant) is incubated with a suitable substrate (e.g., p-nitrophenyl-α-D-glucopyranoside) in the presence of varying concentrations of the compound. The inhibition of substrate hydrolysis is measured by absorbance, and the IC50 is determined.

| Cell Assay |
To test the activity of the iminosugars UV-1, UV-2, UV-3, SP187 (UV-4) and UV-5 against EBOV (Zaire-Kikwit) or MARV (Ci67), a yield-plaque assay is conducted in Vero cells. Multiple concentrations of compounds are incubated on 24-well plates of Vero cells for 1h at 8 concentrations (2 fold dilutions starting at 62.5 μM). After ~1h, pretreatment medium is aspirated and virus inoculums added (MOI of 0.1 with EBOV or MARV). After an additional hour of infection, virus inoculum is removed (no washing) and 1 mL of compound medium is added at the final concentration. After incubation for 72 hours, supernatants are harvested and competent viral particles released from the cells are enumerated by plaque assay in duplicate. Percent inhibition is determined by comparing DMSO-treated cells (average value) infected with virus to those treated with compound at the various concentrations. The IC50 are calculated using GraphPad Prism based on the % inhibition at each concentration[1]. |
| Animal Protocol |
Mice[1] Mouseadapted EBOV and MARV-Ravn are used to infect female C57Bl/6 or BALB/c mice with target challenge dose of 1000 pfu via intraperitoneal injection. SP187 (free base) and UV-5 are prepared in acidified water for oral gavage (PO) or in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) for intraperitoneal infection (IP) and subcutaneous (SQ) delivery. SP187 (UV-4) or UV-5 are administered via PO, IP or SQ for 7-10 days starting 30-60 minutes before virus challenge at 5, 10, 20, or 100 mg/kg or vehicle only (water for PO or PBS for IP delivery). Compounds are administered either twice (BID) or three times (TID) daily at 12 or 8 hour intervals, respectively. Weights, morbidity and mortality are monitored for up to 21 days. Animals which displaye severe illness are euthanized based on predefined scoring systems. |
