More Info
Biological target:
Lopinavir (ABT-378) is a highly potent, selective peptidomimetic inhibitor of the HIV-1 protease, with Kis of 1.3 to 3.6 pM for wildtype and mutant HIV protease as well as a SARS-CoV 3CLpro inhibitor with an IC50 of 14.2 μM.
In vitro activity:
Finally, replacement of the P2’ (thiazolyl)methoxycarbonyl moiety with the known P2’ dimethylphenoxyacetyl group produced ABT378, which inhibited 93% of wild-type HIV protease activity at 0.5 nM and bound with a Ki of 1.3 pM. A high (>105-fold) specificity for HIV protease over those of the mammalian aspartic proteinases renin, cathepsin D, and cathepsin E was observed (data not shown). In MT4 cells, the EC50s of ABT-378 in the absence and presence of 50% HS were 17 ± 4 and 102 ± 44 nM, respectively (mean ± standard deviation of 10 triplicate determinations). In a direct comparison, the EC50s of ritonavir were 58 ± 14 and 1,044 ± 306 nM, respectively. Thus, in the presence of 50% HS, the anti-HIV activity of ABT-378 was 10-fold greater than that of ritonavir. ABT-378 was also highly potent against primary HIV cultured in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (in the absence of HS), with an EC50 of 6.5 nM (mean for six isolates; range, 4 to 11 nM).

In vivo activity:
Based on all the in vitro beneficial effects caused by lopinavir on C. albicans cells, it was decided to evaluate its efficacy on in vivo infection by using a well-established murine model. Firstly, immunocompetent BALB/c mice were intravenously infected with C. albicans yeasts, and 1 h after the inoculation, the animals were treated with PBS (positive control of infection), fluconazole (a classical antifungal used to treat candidiasis, including in this animal model) and lopinavir (the test drug). No animals died after 5 days postinfection; therefore, the infection was evaluated by counting the number of CFUs in three target organs: kidneys, spleen and liver. Lopinavir significantly diminished the infection in the kidney in a dose-dependent fashion. The infection in the liver was controlled by both fluconazole and lopinavir at both employed concentrations (10 or 15 mg/mL). Spleen infection was significantly reduced only when using fluconazole or lopinavir at the highest concentration (Figure 10). Conclusively, the exposed results highlight that lopinavir may be used as a promising repurposing drug against C. albicans infection as well as may be used as a lead compound for the development of novel antifungal drugs.
