Mb. Gottikh et al., Synthesis of oligonucleotide-intercalator conjugates capable to inhibit HIV-1 DNA integration, NUCLEOS NUC, 18(6-7), 1999, pp. 1645-1646
This investigation is devoted to design of short "switch" oligonucleotides
mono- or bi-functionnalized with intercalating agents capable to form a sta
ble tripler with HIV integrase-cognate sequences and inhibit selectively HI
V integration. Methods of intercalator incorporation at 5'- and/or 3'-termi
nal positions or one of the pyrimidine heterocyclic bases are developed.
