Helicases as antiviral drug targets (Supplement 4)
1. We have demonstrated for the first time that the helicase of a ribonucleic acid virus, the SARS coronavirus (SARSCoV), is a valid target for drug development. 2. Using high throughput screen and chemical synthesis, several lead compounds targeting the SARS-CoV helicase have been identified. We have shown that these compounds can inhibit SARS-CoV helicase activity and viral growth in cell cul...
متن کاملFlaviviral Infections and Potential Targets for Antiviral Therapy
The family Flaviviridae includes human and animal pathogenic viruses of global importance, e.g. the human flaviviruses West-Nile virus (WNV), dengue virus (DENV), Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) and yellow fever virus (JEV) as well as hepacivirus hepatitis C virus (HCV). This virus family was named after the jaundice occurring in course of YFV infection, ...
متن کاملNew insights into HCV replication: potential antiviral targets.
The ultimate goal of hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment is the eradication of the virus. Ongoing research continues to add to knowledge of the HCV life cycle, revealing new potential viral and host targets for the development of therapy. Understanding of HCV was initially hampered by the inability to achieve viral replication in cell culture. Advances such as the HCV replicon and complete cell c...

متن کاملStructure–Function Studies Using Deletion Mutants Identify Domains of gC1qR/p33 as Potential Therapeutic Targets for Vascular Permeability and Inflammation
The endothelial cell receptor complex for kininogen (HK) comprises gC1qR, cytokeratin 1, and urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor and is essential for activation of the kinin system that leads to bradykinin (BK) generation. Of these, gC1qR/p33 constitutes a high affinity site for HK - the BK precursor - and is therefore critical for the assembly of the kinin-generating cascade. Previou...
