The present invention relates to homo- and hetero-dimer compounds formed by a disulfide, sulfinyl thio, or olefin bond between two monomers. A method of making a homo- or hetero-dimer compound is also disclosed. The present invention also relates to monomer compounds capable of forming homo- or hetero-dimer compounds, as well as oligomers formed via linkage of one or more dimers. Also disclosed are methods of inhibiting the activity of target RNA molecules, particularly those having a secondary structure that include a stem or stem-loop formation. Dimer compounds capable of inhibiting the activity of an HIV-I RNA frameshifting stem-loop and a (CUG)n expanded repeat stem-loop are disclosed, as are methods of treating diseases associated with these target RNA molecules. The dimer compounds can also be used for selectively detecting presence of the target RNA molecule in a sample.
本发明涉及由两个单体之间的二硫键、亚砜硫或烯烃键形成的同源和异源二聚体化合物。还公开了一种制备同源或异源二聚体化合物的方法。本发明还涉及能够形成同源或异源二聚体化合物的单体化合物,以及通过连接一个或多个二聚体形成的寡聚物。还公开了一种抑制目标RNA分子活性的方法,特别是那些具有包括茎或茎环形成的次级结构的RNA分子。公开了能够抑制HIV-I RNA移码茎环和(CUG)n扩展重复茎环活性的二聚体化合物,以及治疗与这些目标RNA分子相关疾病的方法。这些二聚体化合物还可以用于选择性地检测样本中目标RNA分子的存在。
