ResumoHerpes Simplex Virus (HSV) infections are among the most common human diseases. In this work, we assess the structural features and electronic properties of a series of ten 1-hydroxyacridone derivatives (1a–j) recently described as a new class of non-nucleoside inhibitors of Herpes Simplex Virus-1 (HSV-1). Based on these molecules, we applied rigid analogue and isosteric replacement approaches to design and synthesize nine new 3H-benzo[b]pyrazolo[3,4-h]-1,6-naphthyridine derivatives (2a–i). The biological and computational results of these new molecules were compared with 1-hydroxyacridones. An inhibitory profile was observed in 10-Cl substituted 3H-benzo[b]pyrazolo[3,4-h]-1,6-naphthyridine derivative (2f), which presents the same substituent at the analogous position of 1-hydroxyacridone derivative (1b). The structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies pointed out the 10-position next to nitrogen atom as important for the anti-HSV-1 profile in the pyrazolo-naphthyridine derivatives tested, which reinforced the promising profile for further experimental investigation. The most potent acridone and pyrazolo-naphthridine derivatives were also submitted to an in silico ADMET screening in order to determine their overall drug-score, which confirmed their potential antiviral profile.
