Dengue virus (DENV) and West Nile virus (WNV) are mosquito-borne arboviruses responsible for causing acute systemic diseases and severe health conditions in humans. The discovery of therapies capable to prevent infections or treat infected individuals rem

The protease of dengue virus is a promising target for antiviral drug discovery. We here report a new generation of peptide-hybrid inhibitors of dengue protease that incorporate N-substituted 5-arylidenethiazolidinone heterocycles (rhodanines and thiazolidinediones) as N-terminal capping groups of the peptide moiety. The compounds were extensively characterized with respect to inhibition of various proteases, inhibition mechanisms, membrane permeability, antiviral activity, and cytotoxicity in cell culture. A sulfur/oxygen exchange in position 2 of the capping heterocycle (thiazolidinedione-capped vs rhodanine-capped peptide hybrids) has a significant effect on these properties and activities. The most promising in vitro affinities were observed for thiazolidinedione-based peptide hybrids containing hydrophobic groups with Ki values between 1.5 and 1.8 μM and competitive inhibition mechanisms. Rhodanine-capped peptide hybrids with hydrophobic substituents have, in correlation with their membrane permeability, a more pronounced antiviral activity in cell culture than the thiazolidinediones.

The influence of substituents (subunits) in the synthesis of thiazolidinones by the reaction of unsymmetrical thioureas with monochloroacetic acid in ethanol has been rationalised by the characterisation of the hydrolysis products of the resulting thiazolidinones.The formation of thiol from thiourea, which is the key intermediate in thiazolidinone synthesis, invariably involves the -NH- group adjacent to more electron withdrawing subunits.
