Recognition and inhibition of HIV integrase by a novel dinucleotide
摘要:
The viral enzyme, HIV integrase, is involved in the integration of viral DNA into host cell DNA. In the quest for a small nucleotide system with nuclease stability of the internucleotide phosphate bond and critical structural features for recognition and inhibition of HIV-1 integrase, we have discovered a conceptually novel dinucleotide, pIsodApdC, which is a potent inhibitor of this key viral enzyme.

Recognition and Inhibition of HIV Integrase by Novel Dinucleotides
HIV integrase is involved in the integration of viral DNA into chromosomal DNA, a biological process that occurs by a sequence involving HIV DNA splicing and subsequent integration steps. in the quest for small nucleotide systems with nuclease stability of the internucleotide phosphate bond and critical structural features for recognition and inhibition of HIV-1 integrase, we have discovered novel, nuclease-resistant dinucleotides with defined base sequences that are inhibitors of this key viral enzyme. Synthetic methodologies utilized for the syntheses of the novel dinucleotides include an excellent new phosphorylating agent.
