Mosquito Immunity against Arboviruses
Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) pose a significant threat to global health, causing human disease with increasing geographic range and severity. The recent availability of the genome sequences of medically important mosquito species has kick-started investigations into the molecular basis of how mosquito vectors control arbovirus infection. Here, we discuss recent findings concerning the ...
متن کاملIndolocarbazoles exhibit strong antiviral activity against human cytomegalovirus and are potent inhibitors of the pUL97 protein kinase.
We have analyzed a panel of protein kinase inhibitors (PKIs) and found that some indolocarbazoles (Gö6976, K252a, K252c) proved to be highly effective inhibitors of GCV-sensitive and -resistant human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) strains, but did not show any effect against herpes simplex virus. Antiviral activity was determined by focus reduction assays (IC(50) ranging from 0.009 to 0.4 microM). Othe...
متن کاملAntiviral Therapy by HIV-1 Broadly Neutralizing and Inhibitory Antibodies
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection causes acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), a global epidemic for more than three decades. HIV-1 replication is primarily controlled through antiretroviral therapy (ART) but this treatment does not cure HIV-1 infection. Furthermore, there is increasing viral resistance to ART, and side effects associated with long-term therapy. Conseq...
متن کاملAlkyl Amine Bevirimat Derivatives Are Potent and Broadly Active HIV-1 Maturation Inhibitors.
Concomitant with the release of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) particles from the infected cell, the viral protease cleaves the Gag polyprotein precursor at a number of sites to trigger virus maturation. We previously reported that a betulinic acid-derived compound, bevirimat (BVM), blocks HIV-1 maturation by disrupting a late step in protease-mediated Gag processing: the cleavage ...
متن کاملProtease inhibitors as antiviral agents.
Currently, there are a number of approved antiviral agents for use in the treatment of viral infections. However, many instances exist in which the use of a second antiviral agent would be beneficial because it would allow the option of either an alternative or a combination therapeutic approach. Accordingly, virus-encoded proteases have emerged as new targets for antiviral intervention. Molecu...
