Abstract

A series of novel 2-oxoimidazolidine derivatives were synthesized and their antiviral activities against BK human polyomavirus type 1 (BKPyV) were evaluated in vitro. Bioassays showed that the synthesized compounds 1-{[(4E)-5-(dichloromethylidene)-2-oxoimidazolidin-4-ylidene]sulfamoyl}piperidine-4-carboxylic acid (5) and N-Cyclobutyl-N'-[(4E)-5-(dichloromethylidene)-2-oxoimidazolidin-4-ylidene]sulfuric diamide (4) exhibited moderate activities against BKPyV (EC50 =5.4 and 5.5 μm, respectively) that are comparable to the standard drug Cidofovir. Compound 5 exhibited the same cytotoxicity in HFF cells and selectivity index (SI50 ) as Cidofovir. The selectivity index of compound 4 is three times less than that of Cidofovir due to the higher toxicity of this compound. Hence, these compounds may be taken as lead compound for further development of novel ant-BKPyV agents.
