蛋白激酶C在HIV复制中的作用与药物发现

蛋白激酶C ( PKC)是一类磷脂依赖的丝氨酸/苏氨酸 蛋白激酶, PKC在中枢神经系统疾病及心血管紊乱等多种人 类疾病中都发挥了重要作用。研究发现, PKC可以通过多种 途径刺激H IV病毒的活化,并磷酸化病毒复制周期中的多 种蛋白,如P17gag、Nef、Rev和Vif等,这些蛋白的磷酸化在 病毒复制周期中起到了不可忽视的作用。了解PKC与H IV 及细胞间的复杂关系,开发抑制PKC蛋白激酶的药物从而 达到抑制H IV复制的目的,或激活PKC从而减少或消除体 内潜伏的H IV病毒库是对PKC在抗H IV研究中应用提出的 两个主要方向,对于开发新型抗H IV药物有重要意义。

Structure and anti-HIV activity of micrandilactones B and C, new nortriterpenoids possessing a unique skeleton from Schisandra micrantha

Two new highly oxygenated nortriterpenoids with a unique norcycloartane skeleton, micrandilactones B and C (1-2), were isolated from Schisandra micrantha; micrandilactone C ( 2) exhibited an EC50 value of 7.71 mu g/mL (SI > 25.94) against HIV-1 replication with minimal cytotoxicity, and the potent anti-HIV-1 activity and unique structural features of 2 make it a promising lead for therapeutic development of a new generation of anti-HIV drug.

Przewalskin A: A new C-23 terpenoid with a 6/6/7 carbon ring skeleton from Salvia przewalskii maxim

Przewalskin A (1), a novel C-23 terpenoid with a 6/6/7 carbon ring skeleton, was isolated from Salvia przewalskii. Its structure was determined by comprehensive 1D NMR, 2D NMR, and MS spectroscopic analysis and subsequently confirmed by a single-crystal X

An inhibitor of c-Jun N-terminal kinases (CEP-11004) counteracts the anti-HIV-1 action of trichosanthin

Trichosanthin (TCS) is a type I ribosome-inactivating protein possessing multiple biological and pharmacological activities. One of its major actions is inhibition of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) replication. The mechanism is still not clear. It is

中国株丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)感染猕猴后5^NTR-C区基因组的cDNA序列分析

从2份受丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)感染的献血员血清(CX1、CX2)、第一代感染HCV猕猴血清(CX3)、第二代感染HCV猕猴血清(CX4)中提取RNA, 用自行设计的HCV 5^非编码区和核心区C5^NTR-C区引物进行逆转录PCR, 经扩增克隆并序列分析, 结果显示: CX1 cDNA全长779bp, CX2 cDNA 778bp, CX3 cDNA 776bp, CX4 cDNA 777bp。CX1株和CX4株均在5^NTR nt-216有一C的插入, CX3和CX4区nt385-387处的3个碱基缺失; CX1株与CX2、CX3、CX4比较同源性分别为98.07%、96.15%、95.25%; CX2与CX3、CX4的同源性分别为96.28%、95.76%; CX3与CX4的同源性为97.56%。

Complete genomic sequences for hepatitis C virus subtypes 6e and 6g isolated from Chinese patients with injection drug use and HIV-1 co-infection

In one of our recent studies, two HCV genotype 6 variants were identified in patients from Hong Kong and Guangxi in southern China, with injection drug use and HIV-1 co-infection. We report the complete genomic sequences for these two variants: GX004 and
