The present invention is directed to the identification and use of ribonucleoside analogs to induce the mutation of an RNA virus, including BVDV, HIV and HCV, or a virus which otherwise replicates through an RNA intermediate. The increase in the mutation rate of the virus results in reduced viability of progeny generations of the virus, thereby inhibiting viral replication. In addition to these methods and related compositions, the invention provides methods and combinatorial chemistry libraries for screening ribonucleoside analogs for mutagenic potential.
本发明涉及核糖核苷类似物的鉴定和使用,以诱导 RNA 病毒(包括 BVDV、HIV 和 HCV)或以其他方式通过 RNA 中间体复制的病毒发生变异。病毒变异率的增加会导致病毒后代的存活率降低,从而抑制病毒复制。除了这些方法和相关组合物之外,本发明还提供了筛选核糖核苷类似物诱变潜力的方法和组合化学文库。
