2. Description of Related Art
A virus can infect all types of life forms that replicates only inside the host cells of other organisms. The virus can be classified into animal viruses, plant viruses, bacterial viruses, fungal viruses and the like based on host cells.
The plant viruses are viruses that affect plants. Unlike fungi having complete unit of living organisms, the plant viruses are non-cellular, abiotic and do not have their own metabolism since they do not have enzymes. Since the plant viruses replicate using host cells, they damage various types of plants. It is therefore difficult for antiviral therapies to inhibit only viral functions since the plant viruses share host cellular processes (Yanmei Li et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A 104:8083-8088, 2007). Thus, even though the plant virus was discovered in 1890s, development of antiviral agent on plant virus diseases is still incomplete, except physical or indirect control methods, for example, removal of an infected plant from its field or control of an insect vector, etc.
Research is currently under way on metabolites from plants having antiviral activity against a tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). Activities of alkaloids from Picrasma quassioides, quassinoids from Brucea javanica, flavonoids from Cassia fistula, chromones from Cassia siamea have been reported (Jia Chen et al., J. Agric, Food Chem. 57:6590-9595, 2009; Xiao-Hui Yan et al., J. Agric, Food Chem. 58:1572-1577, 2010; Wei Zhao et al., Phytochem. Lett. 179-182, 2013; Qiu-Fen Hu et al., J. Nat. Prod. 75:1909-1914, 2012). However, this has only verified anti-viral activities of these compounds against the tobacco mosaic virus but there is still limit on their applications.
Accordingly, inventors of this disclosure have isolated and identified a tricothecene-based compound of Trichodermin or Trichoderminol from Trichoderma albolutescenes strain and further found that this compound shows excellent antiviral activity against a tobacco mosaic virus which is a representative plant virus and a pepper mottle virus which causes disease symptom to a systemic host.

Nicotiana benthamiana and Capsicum anuum L. were used as experiment host plant and provided from a plant virus genebank, Seoul women's university in order to determine an anti-viral activity against pepper mottle virus (PepMoV). A green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged pepper mottle virus was used to determine an anti-viral activity inside systemic host (Lee, M. Y et al., Virus Res. 155:487-494, 2011).
Example 3-2. Anti-Viral Activity at Nicotiana benthamianaThe following experiment was carried out to determine an anti-viral activity of the compounds prepared in Example 2 against the pepper mottle virus.
The Nicotiana benthamiana, which was used as a systemic host, was cultivated in a greenhouse at a temperature of 25° C. for 4 weeks after sowing. Pepper mottle virus-infected Nicotiana benthamiana leaves in which a green fluorescent protein is evenly spread on UV image were collected and ground with a 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline buffer (pH 7.2). This solution was used as an inoculum. Each compound sample was prepared by dissolving a PBS buffer including 10% DMSO(sigma) to provide compound 1 (Trichodermin) in concentrations of 50 μM, 10 μM, 5 μM, and 1 μM and compound 2 (Trichoderminol) in concentrations of 2000 μM, 1000 μM, 500 μM, and 100 μM. After each compound sample was mixed with 200 μl of the inoculum and reacted for 30 minutes at room temperature, it was inoculated. Inoculation was carried out by spraying carborundum onto 4 lower leaves including cotyledon of 4-week cultivated Nicotiana benthamiana and then rubbing the leaves with a mixture of the inoculum and each compound sample. This was performed at least 3 times. A mixture of DMSO and the inoculum was used as control. Spread of the pepper mottle virus was observed by detecting the green fluorescent protein under UV for 2 weeks. The plant upper leaves were harvested and taken an UV image at 3, 6, 9, 12 dpi (days post-inoculation). RNA and protein were isolated from the plant upper leaves using phenol/chloroform extraction and then RT-PCR and western blot were performed.
The following experiments was performed for RT-PCR. Each RNA sample and distilled water were added into a reaction mixture of 0.5 mM dNTPs, 10 pM reverse primer, 1× reaction buffer and 2.5 units RevertAid reverse transcriptase(Thermo scientific, USA) to be the total volume of 20 μl. RT reaction was performed by reacting the reaction mixture at 42° C. for 60 minutes using My Cycler™ Thermal Cycler(Bio-Rad, USA) (production of cDNA). The cDNA prepared from the RT reaction and distilled water were then added to a reaction mixture of 1× reaction buffer, 5 units Ex-Taq polymerase(TAKARA, Japan), 10 pM reverse primer and 10 pM forward primer to be the total volume of 30 μl. PCR was performed using My Cycler™ Thermal Cycler. [After denaturation at 95° C. for 3 minutes, it was cycled at 95° C. for 30 seconds, 58° C. for 30 seconds, and 72° C. for 60 seconds 35 times, PepMoV-CP forward primer: 5′-AGC AGC TCA AGA TCA GAC AC 3′, (SEQ ID NO: 1); PepMoV-CP reverse primer: 5′-CAT ATT TCT GAC CCC AAG CAG-3′, (SEQ ID NO: 2). The reaction produced from this process was performed for agarose gel electrophoresis and dyed with ethidium bromide to determine a RNA coding region of a coat protein of the pepper mottle virus (822 bp).
The following experiments was performed for western blot. Each protein sample was performed for sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and the result was electro blotted and transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane using a Mini-Pro-electrophoresis system (Bio-Rad, USA). After transferring, the nitrocellulose membrane was rinsed with a TBS-T buffer(20 mM Tris(pH 7.5) and 150 mM NaCl, 0.1% Tween 20) 3 times and immersed into 5% skim milk(Difco, USA) at 25° C. for 4 hours for blocking. The nitrocellulose membrane was sequentially reacted with an antibody for the pepper mottle virus(1:1000 dilution, immunoglobulin G(Ig G) fraction, 1 mg/mL) and an alkaline phosphatase(AP)-conjugated secondary antibody(1:7500 dilution, Promega, USA), rinsed with the TBS-T buffer 3 times, and immersed into an APsubstrate buffer(0.1 M Tris (pH 9.5), 0.1 mM NaCl, 50 mN MgCl2) to determine expression of the coat protein of the pepper mottle virus. The nitrocellulose membrane was dyed with western blue (Promega, USA) and compared with comigrated blue marker protein to determine position of the coat protein of the pepper mottle virus (33 kDa).

A half leaf method was performed to determine an anti-viral activity against tobacco mosaic virus, which was provided from the plant virus genebank(PVGB), Seoul women's university, of the compounds which was determined to have the anti-viral activity against the pepper mottle virus in Example 3. The half leaf method utilizes features of producing black spots due to local lesions around the infected part by tobacco mosaic virus in Nicotiana tabacum cv. Xanthi nc which is a local lesion host. Top 3 leaves and 4 leaves of 7-8 normal leaves of the local lesion host were taken and carborundum was evenly sprayed throughout the leaves. A compound 1 (Trichodermin) sample at test concentrations dissolved in DMSO and the tobacco mosaic virus solution were mixed. Right half leaf of the leaf of the Nicotiana tabacum cv. Xanthi nc was inoculated with this mixture and the other left half leaf was inoculated with tobacco mosaic virus solution (control) using cotton swabs. After petiole of the leaf of the Nicotiana tabacum cv. Xanthi nc was wrapped with cotton wool and distilled water was applied, it was placed in a petri dish (150 mm×2 cm) and cultivated in an incubator (no air circulation) at 23° C. for 3 days. About 1 ml of distilled water was supplied once a day to prevent drying of the leaf. After 3 days of inoculation, the number of local lesions was counted and 100-400 of lesions of uninfected control half leaf was only applied. Activity rate using the number of lesions was calculated by the following equation.
Control rate (%)=[1−(the number of lesions in infected half leaves/the number of lesions in uninfected half leaves)]×100
