Inhibition of the HIV-1 rev–RRE complex formation by unfused aromatic cations
摘要:
RNA viruses cause a wide range of human diseases. Development of new agents to target such viruses is an active area of research. Towards this goal, a series of diphenylfuran cations as potential inhibitors of the Rev-RRE complex have been designed and synthesized. Analysis of the interaction of the diphenylfurans with RRE and TAR RNA model systems by gel shift assays indicates that they exhibit both sequence and structure-dependent binding modes. Our results show a strong interaction between the diphenylfuran ring system and RRE bases, while the TAR interactions are much weaker with the compounds that are the best inhibitors of Rev-RRE.

investigates the structural properties of 2,5-bis(3-bromophenyl)furan polymorphs, focusing on the halogeninteractions and their influence on crystal mechanicalproperties. In this study, three different polymorphic modifications were obtained which crystallize in the orthorhombic system. Two of the polymorphs possess halogeninteractions but only one exhibits elastic properties. Through X-ray diffraction

synthetic approach to 2,5-diarylfurans delivers several important furanbuildingblocks used commonly in medicinal chemistry and as optoelectronic materials, including short-chain linearly conjugated furan oligomers. Consequently, we also complete a short study of the optical and electrochemical properties of a selection of these novel materials.

Competition dialysis was used to study the interactions of 13 substituted aromatic diamidine compounds with 13 nucleic acid structures and sequences. The results show a striking selectivity of these compounds for the triplex structure poly dA:(poly dT)(2), a novel aspect of their interaction with nucleic acids not previously described. The triplex selectivity of selected compounds was confirmed by thermal denaturation studies. Triplex selectivity was found to be modulated by the location of amidine substiuents on the core phenyl-furan-phenyl ring scaffold. Molecular models were constructed to rationalize the triplex selectivity of DB359, the most selective compound in the series. Its triplex selectivity was found to arise from optimal ring stacking on base triplets, along with proper positioning of its amidine substituents to occupy the minor and the major-minor grooves of the triplex. New insights into the molecular recognition of nucleic acid structures emerged from these studies, adding to the list of available design principles for selectively targeting DNA and RNA.
