- W2030427097 abstract "Orthopox viruses include variola major (the etiologic agent for smallpox), vaccinia virus (VV), and monkeypox. Although the devastating effects of smallpox have been successfully controlled by vaccination with VV, vaccine programs have been discontinued, raising the population's susceptibility to VV bioterrorism. Furthermore, immunocompromised individuals and those with atopic dermatitis are at risk for fatal complications of vaccination, such as progressive vaccinia and eczema vaccinatum, respectively (Cono et al., 2003Cono J. Casey C.G. Bell D.M. Smallpox vaccination and adverse reactions. Guidance for clinicians.MMWR Recomm Rep. 2003; 52: 1-28PubMed Google Scholar). Despite the effectiveness of intravenous Ig and other antiviral therapies, treatment of orthopox infections is imperfect. The innate immune system produces antimicrobial compounds such as human β-defensins and cathelicidins, which exhibit antiviral activity against VV (Howell et al., 2007Howell M.D. Streib J.E. Leung D.Y. Antiviral activity of human beta-defensin 3 against vaccinia virus.J Allergy Clin Immunol. 2007; 119: 1022-1025Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (44) Google Scholar). In addition, innate immunity in patients with atopic dermatitis has been found to be deficient. This may, in part, predispose these individuals to develop eczema vaccinatum. Therefore, peptides such as human β-defensin-3 might represent a potential treatment for these adverse reactions; however, rapid degradation by endogenous tissue proteases occurs when peptides are introduced systemically. Structurally similar to antimicrobial peptides and able to selectively disrupt bacterial cell walls, a novel class of synthetic compounds called ceragenins (CSAs) shows promise as a therapeutic agent against orthopox virus infections (Ding et al., 2004Ding B. Taotofa U. Orsak T. Chadwell M. Savage P.B. Synthesis and characterization of peptide-cationic steroid antibiotic conjugates.Org Lett. 2004; 6: 3433-3436Crossref PubMed Scopus (69) Google Scholar). To elucidate the salutary properties of CSAs, Howell et al., 2009Howell M.D. Streib J.E. Kim B.E. Lesley L.J. Dunlap A.P. Geng D. et al.Ceragenins: a class of antiviral compounds to treat orthopox infections.J Invest Dermatol. 2009; 129: 2668-2675Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (32) Google Scholar, this issue) conducted a series of in vitro and in vivo experiments to assess the ability of various CSAs to destroy VV, restore and protect keratinocytes, and limit systemic viral dissemination; they also studied the mechanisms by which CSAs might work. CSA-13 was found to be the most potent of the CSAs studied, exhibiting in vitro antiviral activity and efficacy as a topically applied cream. The effects of CSAs might be multimodal, affecting viral propagation by disrupting the viral envelope and stimulating the activity of other antimicrobial peptides against VV.
