The 3'-5', 3'-5' cyclic dinucleotides (3'3'CDNs) are bacterial second messengers that can also bind to the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) adaptor protein in vertebrates and activate host innate immunity. Here, we profiled substrate specificity four dinucleotide synthases from Vibrio cholerae (DncV), Bacillus thuringiensis (btDisA), Escherichia coli (dgcZ), Thermotoga maritima (tDGC) using a library 33 nucleoside-5'-triphosphate analogues then employed these enzymes synthesize 24...
3-Acylmethylidene-3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2(1 H )-ones are compounds which possess a wide range of physical and pharmaceutical applications. These can be easily prepared by cyclocondensation o -phenylenediamines aroylpyruvates. Unsymmetrically substituted obtained form regioisomeric mixtures 3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2(1 )-ones. It is often quite difficult to get pure regioisomer determine its structure without controlling the reaction selectivity exploitation complex NMR techniques (HSQC, NOESY,...
Abstract The formation of a G‐quadruplex motif in the promoter region c‐MYC protooncogene prevents its expression. Accordingly, stabilization by suitable ligand may be viable approach for anticancer therapy. In our study, we used 4‐(4‐methylpiperazin‐1‐yl)aniline molecule, previously identified as fragment library screen hit, template SAR‐guided design new small clickable fragments and subjected them to click reactions, including kinetic target‐guided synthesis presence forming...
Abstract The secondary structure of nucleic acids containing quartets guanines, termed G-quadruplexes, is known to regulate the transcription many genes. Several G-quadruplexes can be formed in HIV-1 long terminal repeat promoter region and their stabilization results inhibition replication. Here, we identified helquat-based compounds as a new class anti-HIV-1 inhibitors that inhibit replication at stage reverse provirus expression. Using Taq polymerase stop FRET melting assays, have...
Abstract DNA-binding fluorescent probes are useful tools in cell biology for various applications enabling visualisation and quantification of DNA. Herein, we report on HeliDye1 , a novel cationic helicene-like DNA probe, its versatile usability. exhibits fluorescence exclusively the presence duplexes containing AT base pairs (contrary to any recent probe) it remains non-fluorescent single-stranded RNA. Favourable chemical properties allowed use karyotyping super-resolution microscopy. We...
