摘要:
Psoralen compound compositions are synthesized which have substitutions on the 4, 4', 5', and 8 positions of the psoralen, which yet permit their binding to nucleic acid of pathogens. Reaction conditions that photoactivate these bound psoralens result in covalent crosslinking to nucleic acid, thereby inactivating the pathogen. Higher psoralen binding levels and lower mutagenicity results in safer, more efficient, and reliable inactivation of pathogens. In addition to the psoralen compositions, the invention contemplates inactivating methods using the new psoralens.

摘要:
The invention is directed to isopsoralen compound compositions that contain a variety of substitutions which yet permit their binding to nucleic acid polymers. Reaction conditions that activate these bound isopsoralens results in covalent crosslinking to the nucleic acid polymers. The resultant complex is inhibited from being a template for the template-directed enzymatic synthesis of a complementary nucleic acid polymer. Beside the isopsoralens compositions, the invention includes their synthesis, the nucleic acid complex production and detection, and the above inhibitory method of use of the isopsoralens.

Psoralen compound compositions are synthesized which have substitutions on the 4, 4′, 5′, and 8 positions of the psoralen, which yet permit their binding to nucleic acid of pathogens. Reaction conditions that photoactivate these bound psoralens result in covalent crosslinking to nucleic acid, thereby inactivating the pathogen. Higher psoralen binding levels and lower mutagenicity results in safer, more efficient, and reliable inactivation of pathogens. In addition to the psoralen compositions, the invention contemplates inactivating methods using the new psoralens.
摘要:
Psoralen compounds are synthesized which have substitutions on the 4, 4', 5', and 8 positions of the psoralen, which permit enhanced binding to nucleic acid of pathogens. Higher psoralen binding levels and lower mutagenicity are described, resulting in safer, more efficient, and reliable inactivation of pathogens in blood products. The invention contemplates inactivation methods using the new psoralens which do not compromise the function of blood products for transfusion. In particular, 4' and 5' primary aminoalkyl psoralens are photoactivated in platelet preparations to inactivate pathogens.
