 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'RNA virus infections kill millions of humans annually, largely due to the lack of suitable vaccines and drugs to control them. This problem is addressed in this FP7 call and in response a consortium of Europe’s and Asia’s leading molecular virologists, structural biologists, medicinal chemists and bioinformaticians has been brought together to generate a state-of-the-art drug discovery and design programme. The project aims to identify Small molecule Inhibitor Leads Versus Emerging and neglected RNA viruses (SILVER). It will focus its activities on selected medically important RNA viruses for which the development of drugs is considered essential (Dengue-, entero- and paramyxoviruses), whereas other relatively neglected and/or emerging RNA viruses will be explored to identify the most promising viral protein targets and antiviral compounds. A pipeline strategy has been developed to enable the inclusion in SILVER of viruses at all levels of existing knowledge. Targets for potential drugs include infectious virus, structurally characterised viral enzymes and other proteins. Leads for currently available antiviral drugs have been identified by screening compound libraries in virus-infected cell culture systems and in vitro assays using purified viral enzymes. Selective inhibitors of viral replication have also been (and are being) derived using detailed structural knowledge of viral proteins and structure-based drug design. Hits will be assayed using individual viral protein targets and replicative proteins in complex with viral RNA. The potential protective activity of the most potent inhibitors, that have a favourable (in vitro) ADME-tox profile, will be assessed in relevant infection models in animals. Licenses on promising compounds or compound classes will be presented to the interested pharmaceutical industry. The SILVER consortium will be well placed to play a major role in contributing to the international effort to develop strategies to improve world health.'

Introduzione (Teaser)

EU funding is continuing to work on therapies to tackle emerging and neglected RNA viruses. Diseases include the newly emerging human MERS and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).

Descrizione progetto (Article)

The 'Small-molecule inhibitor leads versus emerging and neglected RNA viruses' (http://www.silver-europe.com/ (SILVER)) project has completed another year of research on the priority group A viruses and relatively neglected and or emerging group B viruses.

The first two years of the SILVER project resulted in many hits and leads against a huge range of RNA viruses. Research response is keeping up with the all-too-rapid evolution and opportunistic behaviour of viruses.

The unexpected emergence of the human MERS-coronavirus (MERS CoV) in Saudi Arabia initiated an immediate response from the SILVER steering committee. Consequently, the project's 'Outbreak Pipeline' was activated to organise investigation into this potentially highly pathogenic virus.

The focus on optimisation of hit-to-lead has intensified delivering several priority lead compounds for a wide range of RNA viruses.

The researchers have identified and tested a very broad-spectrum inhibitor T705. There is also progress on an inhibitor against dengue virus and a patent application is imminent. For MERS CoV, there are several promising hits, all from a library of FDA-approved compounds as a spin-off of previous work on the related SARS CoV.

Importantly, several new mouse models have been developed with a variety of viruses. These will enable a much greater level of study of proof of concept through in vivo studies, as the new inhibitors are moved from hits to promising leads.

For crystallography there have been continuous software updates for high-throughput screening of possible target-ligand complexes used ultimately in inhibitor identification. Use of medicinal chemistry, mechanism of action studies, determination of toxicity profiles, proof-of-concept experiments for the most promising molecules and compounds is intensifying lead optimisation.

SILVER activities could result in the discovery of two or more new antiviral molecules or compounds after rigorous proof of concept trials in relevant animal models. Quality of life and economic growth are intimately linked and are frequently seriously affected by emerging viruses. Discovery of safe and effective viral inhibitors will help to alleviate epidemic outbreaks that have an enormous social and economic cost.
