Dengue virus (DENV) is the most common mosquito-borne flavivirus, and it affects millions of people globally every year. Currently, there are no approved drugs for the treatment of dengue infection. By screening a natural product library, we identified a novel compound, cyclovirobuxine D (Cvb D), that displays anti-DENV activity. Cvb D inhibits DENV replication in vitro in a dose-dependent manner and protects suckling mice against lethal DENV infection. Mechanistically, Cvb D regulates the expression of genes related to the cellular cholesterol pathway. As a result, Cvb D increases cellular cholesterol synthesis and accumulation, activates mTOR, and inhibits viral-dependent autophagy. Cvb D does not suppress autophagy initiation but impedes the nuclear translocation of the lysosome transcription factor TFEB. In addition, Cvb D restricts the replication of other positive-strand RNA viruses such as Zika virus and Coxsackievirus B3. We speculate that Cvb D could be a broad-spectrum antiviral drug candidate for use against positive-strand RNA viruses that require autophagy for optimal replication. (C) 2020 Science China Press.
