Antiviral therapeutics with profiles of high potency, low resistance, panserotype, and low toxicity remain challenging, and obtaining such agents continues to be an active area of therapeutic development. Due to their unique three-dimensional structural features, spirooxindoles have been identified as privileged chemotypes for antiviral drug development. Among them, spiro-pyrazolopyridone oxindoles have been recently reported as potent inhibitors of dengue virus NS4B, leading to the discovery of an orally bioavailable preclinical candidate (R)-44 with excellent in vivo efficacy in a dengue viremia mouse model. This review highlights recent advances in the development of biologically active spirooxindoles for their antiviral potential, primarily focusing on the structure-activity relationships (SARs) and modes of action, as well as future directions to achieve more potent analogues toward a viable antiviral therapy.

A highly efficient asymmetric [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of 2'-hydroxychalcones with -2,2,2-trifluoroethylisatin ketimines catalyzed by a ()-3,3'-I-BINOL-boron complex was developed. A broad range of 3,2'-pyrrolidinyl spirooxindole derivatives bearing a CF-substituted pyrrolidine moiety with four contiguous stereocenters was prepared in high yields with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities (up to >20:1 dr and >99% ee). This protocol had the characteristics of mild reaction conditions, high efficiency, and excellent stereocontrol.

A series of 16 novel spirooxindole analogs 8a-p were designed and constructed via cost-effective single-step multicomponent [3+2] cycloaddition reaction of azomethine ylide (AY) generated in situ from substituted isatin (6a-d) with suitable amino acids (7a-c) and ethylene-engrafted pyrazole derivatives (5a,b). The potency of all compounds was assayed against a human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) and a human liver cell line (HepG2). Spiro compound 8c was the most active member among the synthesized candidates, with exceptional cytotoxicity against the MCF-7 and HepG2 cell lines, with IC values of 0.
