Isolation and Preliminary Characterization of Chalcone Ro 09-0410-Resistant Human Rhinovirus Type 2

Abstract: We have isolated a human rhinovirus type-2 (HRV-2) mutant that is resistant to the antiviral agent chalcone Ro 09-0410 (4′-ethoxy-2′-hydroxy-4, 6′-dimethoxychalcone). This Ro 09-0410-resistant HRV-2 mutant (SR2-0410) exhibited altered biological properties when compared with the parental wild-type (wt) HRV-2. It was unstable when exposed to acid and heat in the presence of the drug, was incapable of producing plaques and produced an early cytopathic effect (CPE) at high temperatures (35°C and 37°C).

“…Of 53 rhinovirus serotypes tested, 46 were inhibited by Ro 09-0410. Mutant rhinoviruses resistant to chalcone were also cross-resistant to dichloroflavan [73]. These results indicate that the three compounds had a similar mode of action based on their binding to virion particles.…”

“…In a wider virological context the selection of drug-resistant viruses is expected and, indeed, acknowledged to confirm the specific antiviral activity of a drug, thus indicating that the compound is not inhibiting viral replication indirectly via an effect on the host cell. In all other virus-drug combinations including HIV and zidovudine [39,44], herpes simplex viruses and Zovirax [50] and rhinoviruses [73], drug-resistant viruses can be detected but, to date, they usually have had little clinical impact. Influenza viruses resistant to amantadine or rimantadine have been detected at low frequency in the field, even in countries such as Germany, which have not utilized amantadine-like drugs [33] and also have been specifically isolated from ill patients undergoing prophylactic or therapeutic treatment with rimantadine [29,31,32] or amantadine [17].…”

“…This has now been confirmed by sequencing the nucleic acid of drug resistant mutants (Heinz et al, 1989). It is noteworthy that resistant mutants prepared against any one of these capsid binding compounds show a great deal of cross-resistance to the others suggesting that this class of compounds may all bind to the same area within the hydrophobic pocket (Yasin, Al-Nakib & Tyrrell, 1990).…”

“…Of note, poliovirus variants selected for resistance to soluble poliovirus cell receptors, despite their reduced binding to HeLa cells, did not differ significantly from the wild-type virus with regard to the kinetics of viral replication in vitro or neurovirulence for mice (12). Although there are conflicting data on the ability of HRVs selected for resistance to a capsid-binding agent, chalcone Ro 09-0410, to grow in cell cultures (1,21), one resistant HRV-2 variant was found to have significantly reduced infectivity for humans (20). Further characterization of the sICAM-1-resistant phenotype, including its ability to replicate in human cell lines and respiratory cell epithelium, is warranted.…”
