A series of natural product analogues based on helioxanthin (2), with particular attention to modification of the lactone ring and methylenedioxy group, were synthesized and evaluated for their antiviral activities. Among them, lactam derivative 18 and helioxanthin cyclic hydrazide 28 exhibited significant in vitro antiviral activity against hepatitis B virus (EC 50 = 0.08 and 0.03 μM, respectively). Compound 18 showed the most potent antiviral activity against hepatitis C virus (55% inhibition at 1.0 μM). Compound 12, an acid-hydrolyzed product of helioxanthin cyclic imide derivative 9, was found to exhibit broad-spectrum antiviral activity against hepatitis B virus (EC50 = 0.8 μM), herpes simplex virus type 1 (EC50 = 0.15 μM) and type 2 (EC50 50 = 9.0 μM), and cytomegalovirus (EC 50 = 0.45 μM). Helioxanthin lactam derivative 18 also showed marked inhibition of herpes simplex virus type 1 (EC50 = 0.29 μM) and type 2 (EC50 = 0.16 μM). The cyclic hydrazide derivative of helioxanthin 28 and its brominated product 42 exhibited moderately potent activities against human immunodeficiency virus (EC50 = 2.7 and 2.5 μM, respectively). Collectively, these molecules represent a novel set of antiviral compounds with unique structural features.
