The present invention provides: (1) antiviral agents that act by reducing or inhibiting the activity of SR proteins, more specifically, (i) antiviral agents that act by enhancing dephosphorylation of SR proteins, and (ii) antiviral agents that act by inhibiting proteins that phosphorylate SR proteins; (2) antiviral agents that act by inhibiting the expression of SR proteins, and (3) antiviral agents that act by activating proteins that antagonize SR proteins. The present invention also provides compounds that inhibit SRPKs, which phosphorylate SR proteins. Such compounds inhibit the activity of SR proteins and have antiviral activities. Various new viruses including SARS have emerged, and thus the present invention provides long-lasting broad-spectrum antiviral agents applicable to new viruses.
本发明提供以下内容:(1)抗病毒剂,通过减少或抑制SR蛋白的活性来发挥作用,更具体地,(i)通过增强SR蛋白的去磷酸化作用来发挥作用的抗病毒剂,以及(ii)通过抑制SR蛋白磷酸化的蛋白质来发挥作用的抗病毒剂;(2)通过抑制SR蛋白的表达来发挥作用的抗病毒剂,以及(3)通过激活对抗SR蛋白的蛋白质来发挥作用的抗病毒剂。本发明还提供抑制磷酸化SR蛋白的SRPKs的化合物。这些化合物抑制SR蛋白的活性,并具有抗病毒活性。各种新的病毒,包括SARS,已经出现,因此本发明提供了适用于新病毒的持久的广谱抗病毒剂。
