Definitions
- the invention relates to a flavonoid compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester thereof for use as an antiviral agent in the treatment and / or prevention of infection with the hepatitis C virus (HCV).
- HCV hepatitis C virus
- the invention also relates to an in vitro inactivation method of HCV comprising a step of contacting said HCV with a flavonoid compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester thereof.
- Viral hepatitis C is a major cause of chronic liver disease that affects approximately 3% of the world's population. Infected patients are at high risk of cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma requiring liver transplantation.
- HCV is a linear positive-strand single-stranded RNA virus belonging to the family Flaviviridae in the genus Hepacivirus. This virus is the only known member of the Hepacivirus genus.
- genotype 1 of HCV is predominant in Europe and the United States, genotype 4 in the Middle East and Africa.
- genotype 4 in the Middle East and Africa.
- the high genetic heterogeneity of HCV linked to the high propensity of the virus to mutate has important clinical and diagnostic implications and may explain the difficulties in vaccine development and the lack of response to current treatments.
- Flavonoid compounds are naturally present in plants and especially in most fruits and vegetables. They are responsible for the varied color of flowers and fruits and are an important source of antioxidants in the diet. They form a subclass of polyphenols. Many flavonoid compounds possess therapeutic virtues and are well known for their excellent potential for inhibiting the processes of angiogenesis and metastasis formation. Among the flavonoids and more particularly among the 3-hydroxyflavonoids, there are subclasses of flavonols, anthocyanins, leucoanthocyanins and catechins. Catechins are the most studied flavonoid compounds.
- Catechins have multiple therapeutic properties. Their therapeutic effects are widely described in the form of an isolated catechin as in the form of extracts of green tea from which they are mainly derived.
- catechin catechin, (-) - epicatechin (EC); (-) - epigallocatechin (EGC), (-) - epicatechin-3-gallate (ECG) or epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG).
- catechins are described as having a preventive effect on obesity or on cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis. They are also described as having an antioxidant, anticarcinogenic, antibacterial or antiviral effect (Khan N. et al., Life Sci., 200781, 19-33.).
- catechins are diverse. Thus, their anti-carcinogenicity in the case of breast or prostate cancer, would be related to a cytotoxic effect of EGCG on cancer cells (Stuart EC.et al., Life Sci., 2006, 79: 2329-36 ). The antiviral effect of catechins would pass through different metabolic pathways. In the case of influenza or hepatitis B virus, EGCG and / or ECG would inhibit viral replication and / or transcription (Song JM et al., Antiviral Research 2005 68 66-74; et al., 2007).
- EGCG For influenza or human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), EGCG would inhibit binding to their respective host cells (Song JM et al., Antiviral Research 2005 68 66-74 and Nance CL. al., J Allergy Clin Immunol 2009 123: 459-65). In the case of Herpes Simplex Virus (type 1 and 2), EGCG would induce viral death by pore creation as a result of binding to envelope glycoproteins (Isaacs CE et al., Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2008 52: 962-70).
- catechins are described as hepatoprotective especially because of their antioxidant nature. In addition, they are often associated with liver disease treatments. Thus, catechins are described in the treatment of viral hepatitis type B or C as reducing cell necrosis (Patrick L. et al., Altern Med Rev. 1999 Aug; 4 (4): 220-38.) . This effect is independent of the viral infection itself, but reduces the necrotic inflammation of the liver associated with it.
- Catechins have been proposed for the treatment of diseases involving the immunosuppression route mediated by indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), among which certain cancers, but also viral infections including hepatitis C (WO 20081 15804).
- IDO indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase
- This treatment pathway is therefore nonspecific and indirect since it is an immunomodulation treatment.
- the prior art also discloses treatment of hepatitis C by the use of an antiviral agent in admixture with a cell proteasome inhibitor.
- a cell proteasome inhibitor Among all the cell proteasome inhibitors mentioned, EGCG is found.
- the mechanism of action and advantage of a proteasome inhibitor in this treatment is, however, not described (WO201 1/009961).
- Catechins are also mentioned in the treatment of hepatitis C in a polymeric form (US 2010/0055065).
- This polyphenol polymer is described as having antiviral activity by inhibiting the replication of HCV, provided that it contains at least 3 monomers. Many polyphenols are considered as potential monomers and more particularly all catechins.
- genotype 1b replicon as described by Lohmann et al. Science, 1999 is used by the authors.

- ECG epicatechin-3-gallate ECG
- EGCG epigallocatechin-3-gallate
- the EGCG that it is marketed by CALBIOCHEM® or by EXTRASYNTHESE® shows a major antiviral effect with an inhibition of viral infection greater than 95%.
- Concerning the ECG and EGC molecules, an antiviral effect is also observed, nevertheless, with a lower viral infection inhibition rate, of the order of about 40% and 80%, respectively.
- Huh-7 cells cultured in vitro were infected for 2 hours with JFH1 -RLuc virus in the presence of increasing doses of EGCG (0; 0.5; 5; 50 ⁇ ) or by the virus previously incubated for 45 minutes with EGCG (50 ⁇ ). After infection, the cells are washed with DMEM culture medium supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum and incubated in this same medium. Forty-eight hours after infection, the cells are lysed and the Renilla luciferase activity is quantified by luminometer after incubation of 20 ⁇ l of cell lysate with the substrate of luciferase.
- Figure 2 shows that the inhibition of viral infection by EGCG is dose dependent.
- IC 50 5 ⁇ M
- viral replication is not affected by EGCG (results not shown).
- EGCG inhibits the early stages of viral infection, namely, the steps allowing the entry of the virus into the cell.
- Proteins in the viral envelope play a major role in viral entry. In fact, in addition to allowing interaction with the host cell receptor (s), these proteins make it possible to induce fusion between the viral and cellular envelopes.
- a reference study model was used to express glycoproteins of the viral envelope of interest: these are the infectious viral pseudoparticles.
- VHCpp Infectious viral pseudoparticles
- VSVpp VSV virus expressing VSV envelope protein
- Huh-7 cells were infected for 2 hours by the VHCpp pseudoparticles of the different genotypes tested or by the VSVpp pseudoparticles in the presence of 50 ⁇ M EGCG or DMSO. Since DMSO is the solvent for EGCG, it is used as a control. At forty-eight hours post-infection, the cells are lysed and the luciferase activity is quantified by luminometer after incubation of 20 ⁇ l of cell lysate with the substrate of luciferase.
- the inhibitory effect of EGCG directly involves the glycoproteins of the viral envelope.
- the inhibition of EGCG-mediated viral entry is either due to an inhibition of the attachment step ie the first interactions with the (s) cell receptor (s) host is an inhibition of the fusion step between the viral and cellular envelopes, or these two steps.
- EGCG is an effective antiviral of HCV whatever the genotype tested.
- a VSVpp infection induces the measurement of a relative infection of 85% in the presence of EGCG
- infection with HCVpp whatever the genotype involved, induces the measurement of a relative infection between 13 and 0%. in the presence of EGCG.
- Example 2 demonstrates the antiviral character of EGCG against HCV regardless of its genotype. Example 2 further demonstrates that this effect is specific for HCV since EGCG does not inhibit VSV infection. While HCV is a single-stranded positive-strand RNA virus, VSV is an unsegmented negative-sense RNA virus.
- the yellow fever virus (YFV), the Sindbis virus (SINV) and the bovine diarrhea virus (BVDV) were tested. Infections are performed either in the presence of DMSO or EGCG at 50 ⁇ .
- the cells infected by these different viruses were Huh-7 for YFV or SINV and MDBK cells for BVDV.
- the quantification of the infection was carried out by immunofluorescence after labeling the infected cells with an anti-E antibody (2D12) for the YFV virus or an anti-NS3 antibody (osc23) for the BVDV virus. A revelation step with a secondary antibody labeled with Cy3 is then performed.
- EGCG is not an antiviral for other members of the family Flaviviridae.
- the antiviral effect of EGCG is therefore specific to HCV.
- EGCG inhibits the entry of the virus into cells in culture.
- a second mode of viral infection is the transmission of the cell-to-cell virus.
- Huh-7 cells were infected with JFH1 virus for 2 hours, then incubated in medium containing 1% agarose in the presence or absence of EGCG (at 50 ⁇ ). The agarose avoids the infection of the cells with the virus secreted in the medium and thus makes it possible to visualize the transmission of the cell-cell virus by contacting the cells with each other.
- the cells are fixed and the infection is detected by immunofluorescence after labeling with an anti-E1 antibody.
- a revelation step is then performed with a secondary antibody coupled to Cy3.
- the nuclei are stained with DAPI markings.
- the number of cells per infectious focus is quantified ( Figure 5).
- the infectious foci are much smaller. They contain on average 3-4 infected cells showing that the virus did not spread after infecting a cell. In contrast, control foci contain an average of 45 infected cells.
- EGCG is an inhibitor of cell-to-cell HCV virus propagation.
- EGCG appears to be a good antiviral candidate for preventing re-infection of a healthy liver after transplantation in an infected patient.
- the entry of HCV into the host cell is composed of 3 steps: i) attachment of the virus or an infected host cell to the surface of the uninfected host cell, ii) interaction with the receptor (s) ( s) specific viral and iii) fusion of the viral lipid envelope and the infected host cell (plasma or endosomal membrane) allowing the introduction of the viral genome into the cytoplasm of the infected cell.
- the viral entry was fractionated so as to separately study the inhibitory effect of EGCG on each of these steps (see Figure 7 A).
- the step of attaching the viral particles to the cells is carried out by placing the virus in the presence of the virus followed by incubation for one hour at 4 °.
- the second step is by incubating the cells for one hour at 4 ° C after removal of viral inocula, allowing the attached viruses to enhance their attachment to their receptors.
- the process of endocytosis is blocked.
- the third stage of endocytosis and fusion of the viral and cellular membranes is carried out at 37 ° C. for one hour.
- sample 1 is the control sample that received DMSO in the first step.
- sample 2 is the control sample that received DMSO in the first step.
- sample 3 interaction with the receptors of the host cell
- endocytosis and fusion of the viral lipid envelope and the infected host cell
- sample 5 during all three stages of entry
- the cells are then incubated for 45 hours at 37 ° C. and then lysed in order to quantify the luciferase activity. Infection is expressed as a percentage of luciferase activity measured without EGCG.
- the experiments are performed in triplicate and the values given correspond to the average values of these three different experiments.
- EGCG As shown in FIG. 7B, a sharp reduction in infection is observed when EGCG is added as early as the attachment step (samples 2 and 5). On the other hand, EGCG does not seem to have any effect on the interaction stage with the host cell receptors (sample 3) or during the endocytosis or fusion step (sample 4). All of these results demonstrate that EGCG inhibits the early steps of HCV binding to the plasma membrane of the host cell to the stage of attachment of HCV to the host cell.
- Huh-7 cells were infected with HCVcc for 2h in the presence of increasing doses of EGCG or delphinidine chloride.
- the infection rate was determined 34 h after inoculation by detecting the E1 envelope protein by immunofluorescence using an anti-E1 antibody (A4) and then a secondary anti-mouse IgG antibody conjugated to the fluorochrome Cy3.
- A4 anti-E1 antibody
- This experiment shows that delphinidin chloride, like EGCG, inhibits cell infection by HCVcc in a dose-dependent manner (Fig 8).
- the concentration inhibiting 50% of the infection (IC50) was determined in these experiments.
- the calculated IC50 of EGCG is about 1 1 ⁇ while that of delphinidin chloride is about 3.5 ⁇ .
- Example 3 demonstrates that EGCG inhibits an early step of HCV entry into cells mediated by HCV surface glycoproteins.
- Heparin a known inhibitor of HCV attachment at the cell surface, has been used as a positive control.
- the cells were incubated with purified HCVc at a multiplicity of infection for 1 hour at 4 ° C in the presence of DMSO, 50 ⁇ l of EGCG, 50 ⁇ l of delphinidine chloride or 500 ⁇ l / ml of heparin.
- the cells were washed 3 times with cold PBS and the total RNA extracted. The amount of fixed virus was determined by quantifying the viral genomic RNA by quantitative RT-PCR.
