When the carbonatoms of R' are substituted, it is CHAIN FATTY ACID METABOLISMAS preferred that from 0-8 hydrogenatoms along the chain may BROAD SPECTRUMANTI-VIRALS be replaced by a substituent selected from halo, OR, SR, lower alkyl, and cycloalkyl, wherein R is H, C, alkyl, and STATEMENT OF GOVERNMENT INTEREST C. cycloalkyl. In certain preferred embodiments, R' is unsubstituted (i.e., R' is unbranched, and none of the hydro This invention was made with government Support under gens have been replaced by a substituent). In preferred Grants #1 R01 AI 078063 and #5 R01 CA085786 awarded by embodiments for compounds of the formula I, R' has a chain the National Institutes of Health. The government has certain length of 8 to 12 atoms. More preferably, R has a total chain rights in the invention. 10 length of R' has a chain length of 9 to 11 atoms. Most pref CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED erably R' has a chain length of 10 atoms. In other preferred APPLICATIONS embodiments, R' has 2 to 4 double bonds. In anotherembodi ment of the invention, the compound of Formula I is a triacsin. This application is a 371 of International Patent Applica 15 In yet another embodiment of the invention, the compound of tion No.: PCT/US2011/025558 filed Feb. 18, 2011, which Formula I is triacsin C. In still another embodiment of the claims the benefit of priority to U.S. patent application Ser. invention, the compound is an inhibitor of acyl-CoA syn No. 61/305,862 filed Feb. 18, 2010, all of which are incorpo thetase long-chain family member 1 (ACSL1). In still another rated herein by reference in their entireties. embodiment of the invention, the compound is an inhibitor of another enzyme inhibited by triacsin C, including without FIELD OF THE INVENTION limitation arachidonoyl-CoA synthase or enzymes of triglyc eride (TG) or cholesterol ester (CE) synthesis. The present invention provides methods and compounds Compounds of Formula I are broad spectrum antivirals for treating viral infections using modulators of host cell useful for treating or preventing infection by a wide range of enzymes relating to long chain fatty acid and lipid droplet 25 viruses. In one embodiment, the compounds of Formula I are metabolism. It includes a method of treating viral infections used to treat or prevent viral infection by an enveloped virus. using triacsin C and its relatives, analogues and derivatives as In certain embodiments of the invention, the compounds are well as other inhibitors of long chain fatty acid metabolism used to treat or prevent infection by human cytomegalovirus and lipid droplet metabolism. (HCMV), herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1), influenza A, or 30 hepatitis C virus. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition There is a great unmet medical need for agents that more for treatment or prevention of a viral infection comprising a safely, effectively, and reliably treat viral infections, from therapeutically effective amount of a composition comprising HIV to the common cold. This includes a major need for 35 a compound or prodrug thereof, or pharmaceutically accept better agents to treat human cytomegalovirus (where current able salt of said compound or prodrug; and a pharmaceuti agents Suffer from significant toxicity and lack of efficacy), cally acceptable carrier, wherein the compound is a com herpes simplex virus (where current agents are beneficial but pound of Formula I.
