Small molecule inhibitors of ebola virus infection.
Ebola viruses are extremely virulent and highly transmissible. They are responsible for sporadic outbreaks of severe hemorrhagic fevers with human mortality rates of up to 90%. No prophylactic or therapeutic treatments in the form of vaccine, biologicals or small molecule, currently exist. Yet, a wealth of antiviral research on ebola virus is being generated and potential inhibitors have been i...
متن کاملAn orally available, small-molecule interferon inhibits viral replication
Most acute hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections become chronic and some progress to liver cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma. Standard therapy involves an interferon (IFN)-α-based regimen, and efficacy of therapy has been significantly improved by the development of protease inhibitors. However, several issues remain concerning the injectable form and the side effects of IFN. Here, we report a...
متن کاملA novel small-molecule binds to the influenza A virus RNA promoter and inhibits viral replication.
Through screening by NMR spectroscopy, we discovered a novel scaffold (DPQ: 6,7-dimethoxy-2-(1-piperazinyl)-4-quinazolinamine) that binds specifically to the influenza A virus RNA promoter. The solution structure of the RNA-DPQ complex reported here demonstrates that the internal loop is the binding site of DPQ. The scaffold exhibits antiviral activity against influenza viruses.
متن کاملA small molecule directly inhibits the p53 transactivation domain from binding to replication protein A
Replication protein A (RPA), essential for DNA replication, repair and DNA damage signalling, possesses six ssDNA-binding domains (DBDs), including DBD-F on the N-terminus of the largest subunit, RPA70. This domain functions as a binding site for p53 and other DNA damage and repair proteins that contain amphipathic alpha helical domains. Here, we demonstrate direct binding of both ssDNA and the...
متن کاملPomegranate peel extract inhibits internalization and replication of the influenza virus: An in vitro study
Objective: Influenza virus, which is associated with high level of morbidity and mortality, has been recently considered a public health concern; however, the methods of choice to control and treat it are limited. Our previous study showed anti-influenza virus activity of pomegranate peel extract (PPE). In this study, the mechanism through which PPE acts against influenza virus...
