BACKGROUND: Identifying safe and broad-spectrum antiviral and anti-inflammatory agents remains an urgent need in infectious and inflammatory diseases. Here, we demonstrated that MNS (NSC170724), a small-molecule nitrovinyl benzodioxole, enhanced antiviral defense while limiting excessive inflammation.
METHODS: The antiviral activity of MNS was evaluated in multiple cell lines and mouse infection models across DNA and RNA viruses. Virus-induced and LPS-induced inflammatory responses were assessed using RT-qPCR, ELISA and western blotting. Bulk RNA-seq and ATAC-seq were performed to define transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms.
RESULTS: MNS significantly suppressed viral infection in vitro and improved survival in four lethal viral infection models, accompanied by reduced viral loads and attenuated tissue injury. MNS also diminished virus-triggered and LPS-triggered inflammatory cytokine production in macrophages and multiple mouse organs, and protected mice from LPS-induced endotoxic lethality. Multi-omics profiling showed that MNS broadly repressed LPS-induced inflammatory transcriptional programs and reversed chromatin accessibility gains across promoters and transcription start sites. Joint analysis of RNA-seq and ATAC-seq data demonstrated consistent downregulation of pivotal inflammatory pathways, such as NF-κB, Toll-like receptor, and TNF signaling.
CONCLUSIONS: With potent activity against viral replication and inflammation in cellular and animal models, MNS emerges as a promising candidate for the treatment of viral infections and hyperinflammatory conditions.
