The heterotrimeric influenza virus polymerase performs replication and transcription of viral RNA in the nucleus of infected cells. Transcription by "cap-snatching" requires that host-cell pre-mRNAs are bound via their 5′ cap to the PB2 subunit. Thus, the PB2 cap-binding site is potentially a good target for new antiviral drugs that will directly inhibit viral replication. Docking studies using the structure of the PB2 cap-binding domain suggested that 7-alkylguanine derivatives substituted at position N-9 and N-2 could be good candidates. Four series of 7,9-di- and 2,7,9-trialkyl guanine derivatives were synthesized and evaluated by an AlphaScreen assay in competition with a biotinylated cap analogue. Three synthesized compounds display potent in vitro activity with IC50 values lower than 10 μM. High-resolution X-ray structures of three inhibitors in complex with the H5N1 PB2 cap-binding domain confirmed the binding mode and provide detailed information for further compound optimization.

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is of prime importance in diagnostics and offers a means of analyzing, in vivo, the chemical content of living tissue, as a non-invasive alternative to biopsy. Several heptadentate, lanthanide complexes have been synt
Inhibitors of Pyrimidine Biosynthesis. Part 1. Synthesis of Potential Transition-state Analogues of Aspartate Transcarbamylase

A systematic variation of the structure of a transition-state analogue of aspartate transcarbamylase has been carried out.A new, and general, synthesis of these analogues, starting from the appropriate amino-acid is described.
