Coumarin Derivative N6 as a Novel anti-hantavirus Infection Agent Targeting AKT.

ABSTRACT: Hantaviruses are globally emerging zoonotic viruses that can cause hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in Asia and Europe, which is primarily caused by Hantaan virus (HTNV) infection, results in profound morbidity and mortality. However, no specific treatment is available for this disease. Coumarin derivatives have been reported as antiviral molecules, while studies about the bioactivity of coumarin derivatives against HTNV infection are limited. To study the potential antiviral activity of coumarin derivatives, 126 coumarin derivatives are synthesized, and their inhibitory activity against HTNV is analyzed in vitro. Among these compounds, N6 inhibits HTNV with relatively high selectivity index at 10.9, and the viral titer of HTNV is reduced significantly after 5, 10, and 2
