• The search for human adenovirus (HAdV)-specific antiviral drugs for the treatment of HAdV infections in immunocompromised patients continues to be a challenging goal for medicinal chemistry. Here, we report the synthesis, biological evaluation, and structure–activity relationships of a small molecules library. We have identified six phenylpiperazine derivatives that significantly inhibited HAdV infection. These six compounds showed the capacity to block HAdV and, in addition, human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) replications at low micromolar concentration, with little or no cytotoxicity. On the basis of our biological studies, these molecules block HAdV and HCMV infections in different phases of their life cycle, providing potential candidates for the development of a new family of antiviral drugs for the treatment of infections by DNA viruses.
