Discovery of novel anti-HIV active G-quadruplex-forming oligonucleotides.
A series of d((5')TGGGAG(3')) sequences, 5'-conjugated with a variety of aromatic groups through phosphodiester linkages, were synthesized, showing CD spectra diagnostic of parallel-stranded, tetramolecular G-quadruplex structures. When tested for anti-HIV-1 and HIV-2 activity, potent inhibition of HIV-1 infection in CEM cell cultures was found, associated with high selectivity index values. Su...
متن کاملG-Quadruplex Forming Oligonucleotides as Anti-HIV Agents.
Though a variety of different non-canonical nucleic acids conformations have been recognized, G-quadruplex structures are probably the structural motifs most commonly found within known oligonucleotide-based aptamers. This could be ascribed to several factors, as their large conformational diversity, marked responsiveness of their folding/unfolding processes to external stimuli, high structural...
متن کاملGlucose conjugation of anti-HIV-1 oligonucleotides containing unmethylated CpG motifs reduces their immunostimulatory activity.
Antisense oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) are short synthetic DNA polymers complementary to a target RNA sequence. They are commonly designed to halt a biological event, such as translation or splicing. ODNs are potentially useful therapeutic agents for the treatment of different human diseases. Carbohydrate-ODN conjugates have been reported to improve the cell-specific delivery of ODNs through re...
متن کاملAnti-tumor activity of splice-switching oligonucleotides
Alternative splicing has emerged as an important target for molecular therapies. Splice-switching oligonucleotides (SSOs) modulate alternative splicing by hybridizing to pre-mRNA sequences involved in splicing and blocking access to the transcript by splicing factors. Recently, the efficacy of SSOs has been established in various animal disease models; however, the application of SSOs against c...
متن کاملTriterpenoids from Schisandra lancifolia with anti-HIV-1 activity.
A new trinorcycloartane triterpenoid, lancifodilactone H (1), and a new A ring-secocycloartane triterpenoid, lancifoic acid A (2), together with a known compound, nigranoic acid (3), were isolated from the leaves and stems of Schisandra lancifolia. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic data analysis. Compound 1 features a biosynthetically modified seven-membered lactone ring, which ...
