Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Remdesivir and molnupiravir have gained considerable interest because of their demonstrated activity against SARS-CoV-2. These antivirals are converted intracellularly to their active triphosphate forms remdesivir-TP and molnupiravir-TP. Cellular hydrolysis of these active metabolites would consequently decrease the efficiency of these drugs; however, whether endogenous enzymes that can catalyze this hydrolysis exist is unknown. Here, we tested remdesivir-TP as a substrate against a panel of human hydrolases and found that only Nudix hydrolase (NUDT) 18 catalyzed the hydrolysis of remdesivir-TP with notable activity. The kcat/Km value of NUDT18 for remdesivir-TP was determined to be 17,700 s−1M−1, suggesting that NUDT18-catalyzed hydrolysis of remdesivir-TP may occur in cells. Moreover, we demonstrate that the triphosphates of the antivirals ribavirin and molnupiravir are also hydrolyzed by NUDT18, albeit with lower efficiency than Remdesivir-TP. Low activity was also observed with the triphosphate forms of sofosbuvir and aciclovir. This is the first report showing that NUDT18 hydrolyzes triphosphates of nucleoside analogs of exogenous origin, suggesting that NUDT18 can act as a cellular sanitizer of modified nucleotides and may influence the antiviral efficacy of remdesivir, molnupiravir, and ribavirin. As NUDT18 is expressed in respiratory epithelial cells, it may limit the antiviral efficacy of remdesivir and molnupiravir against SARS-CoV-2 replication by decreasing the intracellular concentration of their active metabolites at their intended site of action.

The recent SARS-CoV-2 pandemic with its fast worldwide spread and high mortality rate led to put major efforts to repurpose already approved antiviral drugs in order to quickly control the outbreak and thereby save lives. Remdesivir (GS-5734) was originally developed for the treatment of Ebola but is a broad-acting antiviral which has been found to reduce the replication of coronaviruses both in cell culture and animal models (1de Wit E. Feldmann F. Cronin J. Jordan R. Okumura A. Thomas T. et al.Prophylactic and therapeutic remdesivir (GS-5734) treatment in the rhesus macaque model of MERS-CoV infection.Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 2020; 117: 6771-6776Crossref PubMed Scopus (554) Google Scholar). Remdesivir treatment was shown to decrease the severity of disease after MERS-CoV infection via decreasing virus replication and thereby reducing damage to the lungs when administered both before and after infection in a rhesus macaque model (1de Wit E. Feldmann F. Cronin J. Jordan R. Okumura A. Thomas T. et al.Prophylactic and therapeutic remdesivir (GS-5734) treatment in the rhesus macaque model of MERS-CoV infection.Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 2020; 117: 6771-6776Crossref PubMed Scopus (554) Google Scholar). Recently, remdesivir was tested in several clinical trials for treatment of COVID-19 caused by the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Remdesivir was shown to shorten the recovery time of hospitalized adults with COVID-19 as well as reducing the mortality rate (2Beigel J.H. Tomashek K.M. Dodd L.E. Mehta A.K. Zingman B.S. Kalil A.C. et al.Remdesivir for the treatment of Covid-19 - final report.N. Engl. J. Med. 2020; 383: 1813-1826Crossref PubMed Scopus (3427) Google Scholar) and suggested to be most effective if administered early after infection (3Ngo B.T. Marik P. Kory P. Shapiro L. Thomadsen R. Iglesias J. et al.The time to offer treatments for COVID-19.Expert Opin. Invest. Drugs. 2021; 30: 505-518Crossref PubMed Scopus (11) Google Scholar). Remdesivir was the first drug to be approved for the treatment of severe COVID-19 in July 2020 by the European Medicines Agency and later in the fall by the U.S Food and Drug Administration (2Beigel J.H. Tomashek K.M. Dodd L.E. Mehta A.K. Zingman B.S. Kalil A.C. et al.Remdesivir for the treatment of Covid-19 - final report.N. Engl. J.

Lee S.W.H. Directly acting antivirals for COVID-19: where do we stand?.Front. Microbiol. 2020; 11: 1857Crossref PubMed Scopus (11) Google Scholar). Remdesivir is a prodrug in the form of a protected phosphate that upon cell entry (Fig. 1, step 1) is metabolized by cellular enzymes to the corresponding monophosphate (GS-441524, Fig. 1, step 2). The monophosphate is subsequently phosphorylated by cellular kinases to its active triphosphate form (remdesivir-TP, aka GS-443902, Fig. 1, step 3). The antiviral effect of remdesivir-TP is mediated through its incorporation into the growing virus RNA chain by the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (Fig. 1, step 4). Incorporation of the remdesivir metabolite causes the polymerase to stall and RNA replication to be terminated (Fig. 1, step 5), leading to a decrease in the production of viral RNA (7Agostini M.L. Andres E.L. Sims A.C. Graham R.L. Sheahan T.P. Lu X.T. et al.Coronavirus susceptibility to the antiviral remdesivir (GS-5734) is mediated by the viral polymerase and the Proofreading exoribonuclease.mBio. 2018; 9e00221-18Crossref PubMed Scopus (853) Google Scholar, 8Gordon C.J.

Molnupiravir (EIDD-2801) was, in November 2021, given a temporary authorization by the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency for the treatment of mild to moderate COVID-19 in adults at risk for severe disease and one month later, an emergency use authorization was issued by the Food and Drug Administration agency. Administration of this orally active drug led to a clear reduction of SARS-CoV-2 replication as well as a quicker recovery time (9Fischer W. Eron J. Holman W. Cohen M.S. Fang L. Szewczyk L.J. et al.Molnupiravir, an oral antiviral treatment for COVID-19.medRxiv. 2021; https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.06.17.21258639Crossref Scopus (0) Google Scholar). In addition, early treatment with molnupiravir clearly reduced the risk of death or hospitalization in unvaccinated adults with COVID-19 at risk for severe disease (10Bernal A.J. Gomes da Silva M.M. Musungaie D.B. Kovalchuk E. Gonzalez A. Delos Reyes V. et al.Molnupiravir for oral treatment of Covid-19 in nonhospitalized patients.New Engl. J. Med. 2022; 386: 509-520Crossref PubMed Scopus (220) Google Scholar). Molnupiravir is a prodrug for β-d-N4-hydroxycytidine, which has previously been shown to be effective against various RNA viruses including influenza and other coronaviruses (11Toots M. Yoon J.J.
