Abstract Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) are progressive neurodegenerative disorders marked in most cases by the nuclear exclusion cytoplasmic deposition of RNA binding protein TDP43. We previously demonstrated that ALS–associated mutant TDP43 accumulates within cytoplasm, mislocalization predicts neurodegeneration. Here, we sought to prevent neurodegeneration ALS/FTD models using selective inhibitor export (SINE) compounds target exportin-1 (XPO1). SINE...

Influenza is a global health concern, causing death, morbidity, and economic losses. Chemotherapeutics that target influenza virus are available; however, rapid emergence of drug-resistant strains common. Therapeutic targeting host proteins hijacked by to facilitate replication an antiviral strategy reduce the development drug resistance. Nuclear export ribonucleoprotein (vRNP) from infected cells has been shown be mediated exportin 1 (XPO1) interaction with viral nuclear protein tethered...

The capsid structural protein of the New World alphavirus, Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV), interacts with host nuclear transport proteins importin α/β1 and CRM1. Novel selective inhibitor export (SINE) compounds, KPT-185, KPT-335 (verdinexor), KPT-350, target host's primary protein, CRM1, in a manner similar to archetypical Leptomycin B. One major limitation B is its irreversible binding CRM1; which SINE compounds alleviate because they are slowly reversible. Chemically...

Influenza A virus (IAV) causes seasonal epidemics of respiratory illness that can cause mild to severe and potentially death. Antiviral drugs are an important countermeasure against IAV; however, drug resistance has developed, thus new therapeutic approaches being sought. Previously, we demonstrated the antiviral activity a novel nuclear export inhibitor drug, verdinexor, reduce influenza replication in vitro pulmonary burden mice. In this study, vivo efficacy verdinexor was further...

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked muscle wasting disease that caused by the loss of functional dystrophin protein in cardiac and skeletal muscles. DMD patient muscles become weakened, leading to eventual myofiber breakdown replacement with fibrotic adipose tissues. Inflammation drives pathogenic processes through releasing inflammatory cytokines other factors promote degeneration contributing motor function. Selective inhibitors nuclear export (SINEs) are a class compounds...
