Abstract

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is an enveloped, pleomorphic, often filamentous, cytoplasmic virus-containing non-segmented, negative-sense, single-stranded RNA associated with viral proteins, making up a nucleocapsid core that is enclosed within a lipid envelope. RSV causes about 7 % of deaths among infants and young children globally, which is the second-most cause of mortality in that age group after malaria. Despite the immense impact mounted by RSV in public health and the economy, there are no effective prophylactic and therapeutic agents to control and treat the disease caused by RSV. Currently, four RSV vaccines and a monoclonal antibody candidate, all using the stabilized pre-fusion (F) proteins, have shown promising results in healthy subjects and are in phase III clinical trial. Results from these trials are expected to be released soon. However, more than one type of vaccine and therapeutics are required to cover all populations at risk: younger children, older adults, pregnant women, and immunocompromised people. Search for more antiviral drugs and vaccines is going on, but due to the issues of cost, toxicity, resistance, bioavailability, and overall pharmacokinetic profile associated with prospective traditional drugs, studies on antiviral peptides can offer novel avenues in the field. In recent years, cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) with 5-30 AAs in length have shown promising drug delivery potential, but antiviral property demonstrated by some CPPs is another exciting possibility in the drug discovery arena, since finding shorter anti-viral peptides is another priority to minimize the cost. Some of the metallic nanoparticles have shown antiviral properties themselves. If both cell-penetrating property and antiviral activity can be found in the same peptide, nano-conjugating CPP with or without other antiviral peptides can improve the stability and other therapeutic indices of such peptide so that it can possibly be developed as safe and effective therapeutic and or prophylactic tools to control RSV.
与金属纳米颗粒结合的细胞穿透肽,用于开发治疗和/或预防呼吸道合胞病毒的药物
呼吸道合胞病毒(RSV)是一种被包膜的,多形性的,通常是丝状的,含有非分节的,负义的,与病毒蛋白相关的单链RNA的细胞质病毒,构成一个被包裹在脂质包膜内的核衣壳核心。呼吸道合胞病毒导致全球约7%的婴幼儿死亡,这是该年龄组仅次于疟疾的第二大死亡原因。尽管RSV对公共卫生和经济造成了巨大的影响,但目前还没有有效的预防和治疗药物来控制和治疗RSV引起的疾病。目前,四种RSV疫苗和一种候选单克隆抗体,均使用稳定的预融合(F)蛋白,在健康受试者中显示出有希望的结果,并处于III期临床试验中。这些试验的结果预计将很快公布。然而,需要一种以上的疫苗和疗法来覆盖所有有风险的人群:年幼的儿童、老年人、孕妇和免疫功能低下的人。寻找更多的抗病毒药物和疫苗正在进行中,但由于与前瞻性传统药物相关的成本、毒性、耐药性、生物利用度和总体药代动力学特征等问题,抗病毒肽的研究可以为该领域提供新的途径。近年来,长度为5-30 α的细胞穿透肽(CPPs)显示出了良好的药物传递潜力,但一些CPPs所表现出的抗病毒特性是药物发现领域另一个令人兴奋的可能性,因为寻找更短的抗病毒肽是最小化成本的另一个优先事项。一些金属纳米颗粒本身显示出抗病毒特性。如果在同一肽中同时具有细胞穿透性和抗病毒活性,则纳米偶联CPP与其他抗病毒肽或不与其他抗病毒肽偶联可以提高该肽的稳定性和其他治疗指标,从而有可能开发出安全有效的治疗和/或预防RSV的工具。
