H. Hotoda et al., BIOLOGICALLY-ACTIVE OLIGODEOXYRIBONUCLEOTIDES .4. ANTI-HIV-1 ACTIVITYOF TGGGAG HAVING HYDROPHOBIC SUBSTITUENT AT ITS 5'-END VIA PHOSPHODIESTER LINKAGE, Nucleosides & nucleotides, 15(1-3), 1996, pp. 531-538
Hexadeoxyribonucleotides (6-mers) having a 5'-TGGGAG-3' sequence beari
ng hydrophobic substituents at their 5'-ends via phosphodiester linkag
es were prepared and evaluated for anti-HTV-1 activity in vitro. Some
of these modified 6-mers showed weak anti-HIV-1 activities and they we
re less potent than the 6-mer having a DMTr group directly attached at
its 5'-terminus.
