Animal Admin |
The in vivo efficacy experiments are largely performed, using a dengue viremia model in AG129 mouse (defective of both type I and type II interferon receptors). The mice are challenged with DENV (serotype 2, TSV01 strain), at 5 × 106 pfu/mouse via i.p. injection. Imino sugars are dosed twice daily at 12 hr intervals, and ribavirin is dosed once daily, for 3 consecutive days post-infection. Blood samples are drawn 3 days post-infection for determination of plasma virus titer by plaque assay. |

In Vitro |
Ribavirin (5, 10 and 20 μM) does not produce any significant effect on neither cell viability nor nitrites level in non-stimulated microglia. Treatmentof LPS-stimulated microglia with 5, 10 and 20 μM Ribavirin induces reduction of NO2 levels for 43% (p<0.05), 53% (p<0.05) and 59% (p<0.05), respectively. Ribavirin (10 mM) insignificantly decreases the cell surface area in non-stimulated culture, but significantly reduces cell surface area (by 32%, p<0.05) in LPS-stimulated microglia. Ribavirin is active against DENV, with an EC50 of 3 μM in A549 cells, and combination of CM-10-18 with ribavirin demonstrates a clear enhancement in the reduction of virus replication. |
In Vivo |
ALT, AST activities and bilirubin levels are significantly loared by administration of JAT in combination with interferon and ribavirin (p<0.01). JAT, interferon or ribavirin alone with CCl4, livers appear to exhibit some liver protection against CCl4 as evident by the presence of normal hepatic cords. Groups treated with JAT, Peg-interferon and ribavirin separately or in combination shows reduction in the expression of TGF-β and Bax. In the group treated by triple combination of interferon, ribavirin, and JAT, the expression level of p53 is markedly reduced. Ribavirin (40 mg/kg, p.o.) significantly improves the antiviral efficacy of CM-10-18 in mice. Ribavirin inhibits DENV virus infection in cultured cells, but it is ineffective in reducing viremia in monotherapy. |
