During the treatment of viral or bacterial infections, it is important to evaluate any resistance to the therapeutic agents used. An amino acid substitution arising from a single base mutation in a particular gene often causes drug resistance in pathogens. Therefore, molecular tools that discriminate a single base mismatch in the target sequence are required for achieving therapeutic success. Here, we synthesized peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) derivatized with tolane via an amide linkage at the N-terminus and succeeded in improving the sequence specificity, even with a mismatched base pair located near the terminal region of the duplex. We assessed the sequence specificities of the tolane-PNAs for single-strand DNA and RNA by UV-melting temperature analysis, thermodynamic analysis, an in silico conformational search, and a gel mobility shift assay. As a result, all of the PNA-tolane derivatives stabilized duplex formation to the matched target sequence without inducing mismatch target binding. Among the different PNA-tolane derivatives, PNA that was modified with a naphthyl-type tolane could efficiently discriminate a mismatched base pair and be utilized for the detection of resistance to neuraminidase inhibitors of the influenza A/H1N1 virus. Therefore, our molecular tool can be used to discriminate single nucleotide polymorphisms that are related to drug resistance in pathogens.

A series of 4-phenethynyldihydrocinnamic acid agonists of the free fatty acid receptor 1 (FFA1) has been discovered and explored. The preferred compound 20 (TUG-424, EC50 = 32 nM) significantly increased glucose-stimulated insulin secretion at 100 nM and may serve to explore the role of FFA1 in metabolic diseases such as diabetes or obesity.
