Abstract:
The present invention relates to fatty acid and fatty alcohol substituted nucleoside derivatives and nucleoside and nucleoside derivatives substituted on multivalent scaffolds (e.g., polymers, peptides, polycarboxylic acid substituted compounds, compounds containing polycycloSaligenyl groups) that display potent anti-HIV activity. Furthermore, they show enhanced activity against multi-drug resistant, R5, and cell-associated virus. Some of them also display activity against other sexually transmitted pathogens and sperm. The present invention provides their methods of synthesis, composition of matter, and methods of use. Emphasis is placed on their application as topical microbicides to treat or prevent sexual transmission of disease, especially HIV/AIDS.
Abstract:
A bisubstrate inhibitor of Src kinases, having a nucleotide or N-heteroaromatic moiety; and a peptide/phosphopeptide, peptidomimetic, or phosphopeptide mimic moiety. The moieties are linked by a rigid or a flexible linker. The nucleotide or N-heteroaromatic moiety is ATP, ATP-mimics, N-heteroaromatics including purine-based derivatives, pyrimidine-based derivatives such as 2,4-diamino-5-substituted pyrimidine derivatives, pyrazole[3,4-d]pyrimidine derivatives, pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives, pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives, amino-substituted dihydropyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidinone derivatives, thieno- and furo-substituted derivatives, quinazoline derivatives, and quinoline derivatives, and several natural products such as aminogenistein. The phosphopeptide mimics comprise phosphonate-based phosphotyrosine mimetics such as phosphonomethylphenylalanine (Pmp) and its analogues, carboxylic acid-based phosphotyrosine mimetics such as malonyltyrosine or phenylalanine analogues and their derivatives such as carboxymethyl phenylalanine, uncharged pTyr mimetics, and conformationally constrained peptides. The phosphopeptide or phosphopeptide mimics inhibits the Src kinases SH2 domain.
