N,N -Dioctadecyl- N′,N′ -Bis(2-Hydroxyethyl) Propanediamine: Antiviral Activity and Interferon Stimulation in Mice

Abstract: CP-20,961, N,N -dioctadecyl- N′, N′ -bis(2-hydroxyethyl)propanediamine, is an antiviral drug with low acute toxicity in mice. Parenteral injection of this compound protected mice against lethal infections with encephalomyocarditis and Semliki Forest viruses and effectively suppressed pox formation by vaccinia infection. Maximal antiviral effects were observed when CP-20,961 was administered 6 to 12 h before infection. An interferon detected in plasma 12 to 20 h a… Show more

“…Some low-molecular-weight inducers, such as tilorone hydrochloride (18), quinacrine (10), BL-20803 (24), CP-20961 (12), and cycloheximide (30), were also examined for their antiviral effects, with unencouraging results. Tilorone hydrochloride (18), an orally active inducer in mice, and CP-20961, which has a high therapeutic index (300) in the infection model of vesicular stomatitis virus, showed little, if any, protective activity against influenza virus infection in mice (12). Cycloheximide induced circulating interferon only at the level at which it coincidentally inhibited protein synthesis in animals (30).…”

“…Fourteen mice were injected ip with 1500 pg (75 mg/kg) DDA each. At different intervals (4,6,8,12,14, and 16 hr after injection) blood, peritoneal fluid, and PEC were collected. PEC were incubated in Eagle's medium without serum for 24 hr at 37°C and the supematants were also titrated for the presence of interferon.…”

“…N,ZGdioctadecyl-N',N'-bis(2-hydroxyethyl) propanediamine (CP-20,96 1) is an antiviral drug in mice and humans (4,5). Parental injection ofthis compound protected mice against otherwise lethal infections with encephalomyocarditis (EMC) virus or SFV.…”

“…Several chemically defined, nonpolymeric, relatively low-molecular-weight compounds have been reported to stimulate interferon production in laboratory models (4,5,7,8,10). These interferon inducers represent a diversity of chemical structures, and all differ structurally from an inducer discovered in our laboratory.…”
