二十二碳醇,即正二十二烷醇,在体外展现出对多种脂质包膜病毒的 抗病毒活性,包括单纯疱疹病毒1型和2型,其作用机制是干扰病毒正常进入靶细胞。我们之前报告指出,哺乳动物细胞会摄入大量的放射性标记的正二十二烷醇。在这里,我们报告细胞会广泛代谢摄入的醇。这一现象的证据是,多达60%的与细胞相关的放射性标记被整合到与磷脂酰胆碱和磷脂酰乙醇胺共同纯化的磷脂中。通过化学(Vitride)还原分析表明,正二十二烷醇的很大一部分被氧化成正二十二烷酸,然后作为极性脂质上的酰基团被整合。然而,一定量的放射性标记对Vitride还原具有抗性,这与正二十二烷醇被整合到醚脂质中相一致。正二十二烷醇的代谢转化速率和程度随细胞类型和用于悬浮化合物的表面活性剂而变化。此外,正二十二烷醇的抗HSV活性与其观察到的代谢量成正比。这些发现表明,正二十二烷醇的抗HSV活性涉及细胞的摄取和药物代谢。
The 22-carbon fatty alcohol, n-docosanol, exhibits in vitro antiviral activity against several lipid-enveloped viruses including herpes simplex viruses 1 and 2 by a mechanism that interferes with normal viral entry into target cells. We previously reported that mammalian cells incorporate significant quantities of radiolabeled n-docosanol. Herein, we report that cells extensively metabolize the internalized fatty alcohol. This is evidenced by incorporation of up to 60% of cell-associated radiolabel into phospholipids that copurify with phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine. Analysis by chemical (Vitride) reduction suggests that a significant portion of n-docosanol is oxidized to n-docosanoic acid and then incorporated as an acyl group on polar lipids. A measurable amount of radiolabel, however, is resistant to Vitride reduction, consistent with incorporation of n-docosanol into ether lipids. The rate and extent of metabolic conversion of n-docosanol vary with the cell type and surfactant used to suspend the compound. Furthermore, the anti-HSV activity of n-docosanol is quantitatively proportional to the amount of metabolism observed. These findings suggest that the anti-HSV activity of n-docosanol involves cellular uptake and metabolism of the drug.
