In an effort to discover therapies for treating diseases caused by EBV, a novel screening assay for identifying compounds that reactivate EBV latent infection and a family of small molecules based on a tetrahydrocarboline backbone were discovered. Specifically, the compounds have the structure of the formula (I), wherein R1-R11 are defined herein and activate/reactivate EBV in a variety of cell types in a patient and are, therefore, useful in preventing or treating EBV-positive cancer, optionally with an anti-viral agent. In screening these compounds, novel compositions, EBV-positive cell lines, and methods are provided. (Formula I)
为了发现治疗由EBV引起的疾病的疗法,发现了一种新型筛选测定法,用于识别激活EBV潜在感染的化合物以及基于四氢吲哚骨架的一类小分子。具体来说,这些化合物具有以下结构的公式(I),其中R1-R11在此定义,并在患者的各种细胞类型中激活/重新激活EBV,因此在预防或治疗EBV阳性癌症方面非常有用,可选地与抗病毒药物一起使用。在筛选这些化合物时,提供了新型组合物、EBV阳性细胞系和方法。 (公式I)
