Abstract

Background: Herpes simplex Virus type 1 (HSV-1) is a contagious human pathogen causing severe infection. In recent decades, the virus has become dormant and resistant to available treatment creating the need for the development of new therapeutic agents against it. Benzotriazole is a versatile molecule with a wide range of activities like antibacterial, antiprotozoal, antiulcer, anthelmintic, and antiproliferative activity.

Methods: A series of 2-(1H- benzotriazole-1-yl) N- substituted acetohydrazide derivatives were synthesized using the method given in the literature. The derivatives were obtained in good yield and characterized by spectral methods of analysis. The antiviral activity against the glycoprotein B of Herpes Simplex Virus-I (HSV-I) was determined using molecular docking (2GUM).

Result: All compounds had strong binding affinity over the standard Acyclovir. Compound 5h had the highest binding affinity and the highest inhibitory activity.

Conclusion: The Benzotriazole-N- substituted acetohydrazide derivatives has the highest binding affinity and good inhibition of glycoprotein B of Herpes Simplex Virus-I (HSV-I), which makes it a good antiviral agent.
