drug development | viruses deficient in RNase H activity are non-infectious making RNase H an interesting target for anti-HIV inhibitors | Human immunodeficiency virus 1 |
Crystallization (Comment) | Organism |
---|---|
crystal structures of full-length HIV-1 reverse transcriptase with a DNA/DNA or RNA/DNA substrate show a distance of about 60 A between the polymerase active site and the RNase H active site | Human immunodeficiency virus 1 |

2,7-dihydroxy-4-isopropylcyclohepta-2,4,6-trienone | 2,7-dihydroxy-4-1(methylethyl)-2,4,6-cycloheptatrien-1-one, or beta-thujaplicinol, is not candidate therapeutics because it is cytotoxic | Human immunodeficiency virus 1 | |
3,4-dihydroxy-N'-[(E)-(2-methoxynaphthalen-1-yl)methylidene]benzohydrazide | specific inhibitor of reverse transcriptase RNase H activity (IC50 value is about 0.5 microM) and has relatively limited activity against the DNA polymerase activity of reverse transcriptase. It is non-cytotoxic and inhibits the replication of a variety of drug-resistant HIV-1 reverse transcriptase mutants | Human immunodeficiency virus 1 | |
4-[5-benzoylamino) thien-2-yl]-2,4-dioxobutanoic acid | inhibits RNase H by binding to the active site and chelating the essential Mg2+ | Human immunodeficiency virus 1 | |
5-chloro-2-hydroxyisoquinoline-1,3(2H,4H-dione) | is not candidate therapeutics because it is cytotoxic | Human immunodeficiency virus 1 | |
BPH218 | potent inhibitor of ATP-mediated phosphorolytic excision of 3'-terminal zidovudine 5'-monophosphate (in vitro IC50 value is about 2 microM) | Human immunodeficiency virus 1 | |
N-(4-tert-butylbenzoyl)-2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde hydrazone | reasonable potency. Bifunctional inhibitor of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase, it inhibits both the reverse transcriptase DNA polymerase and RNase H activities of the enzyme with similar potency (IC50 is about 3 microM) | Human immunodeficiency virus 1 | |
[(4-chlorophenyl) hydrazono] propanedioic acid | inhibits the RNase H of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase with potency similar to that of N-(4-tert-butylbenzoyl)-2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde hydrazone. It is specific for RNase H and does not inhibit the DNA polymerase activity of reverse transcriptase. Inhibits RNase H by binding to the active site and chelating the essential Mg2+ | Human immunodeficiency virus 1 |
