Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a re-emerging Alphavirus that transmitted to humans by Aedes mosquitoes. Currently, there are still no drugs or vaccines available for the treatment prevention of this disease. Although traditionally restricted Africa and Asia, adaptation albopictus, mosquito species with an almost worldwide distribution, has contributed geographical spread in past decade. Here, we report on new family compounds named [1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidin-7(6H)-ones inhibit CHIKV...

tert-Butyldimethylsilyl-spiroaminooxathioledioxide (TSAO) compounds have an embedded thymidine-analogue backbone; however, TSAO invoke non-nucleoside RT inhibitor (NNRTI) resistance mutations. Our crystal structure of RT:7 (TSAO-T) complex shows that 7 binds inside the NNRTI-binding pocket, assuming a "dragon" shape, and interacts extensively with almost all pocket residues. The also explains structure-activity relationships data for compounds. binding causes hyper-expansion significant...
We investigated the microtubule-destabilizing, vascular-targeting, anti-tumor and anti-metastatic activities of a new series chalcones, whose prototype compound is (E)-3-(3''-amino-4''-methoxyphenyl)-1-(5'-methoxy-3',4'-methylendioxyphenyl)-2-methylprop-2-en-1-one (TUB091). X-ray crystallography showed that these chalcones bind to colchicine site tubulin therefore prevent curved-to-straight structural transition tubulin, which required for microtubule formation. Accordingly, TUB091 inhibited...
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a re-emerging alphavirus transmitted to humans by Aedes mosquitoes. Since 2005, CHIKV has been spreading worldwide resulting in epidemics Africa, the Indian Ocean islands, Asia and more recently Americas. thus considered as global health concern. There no specific vaccine or drug available for treatment of this incapacitating viral infection. We previously identified 3-aryl-[1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidin-7(6H)-ones selective inhibitors replication proposed...
Microtubule-targeting agents that bind at the colchicine-site of tubulin are particular interest in antitumoral therapy due to their dual mechanism action as antimitotics and vascular disrupting agents. Cyclohexanediones derivatives have been described a new family colchicine-domain binders with an association constant similar colchicine. Here, high-resolution structures complex cyclohexanediones TUB015 TUB075 were solved by X-ray crystallography. A detailed analysis tubulin-TUB075...

Abstract Determination of the three-dimensional structure human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) reverse transcriptase (RT) has indicated a totally different folding for 51-kDa subunit (p51) than 66-kDa (p66). The polymerase catalytic site is located on p66 subunit. Moreover, HIV-1-specific RT inhibitors, also designated as non-nucleoside inhibitors (NNRTIs), select amino acid mutations that afford resistance to these compounds and are clustered in palm domain HIV-1 This pocket vicinity...
