项目摘要

DESCRIPTION: HIV/AIDS remains a global epidemic and public health threat. Despite the development of effective antiretroviral drugs, therapy is not curative and is therefore life-long. Long-term therapy is often compromised by viral drug resistance mutations and incomplete adherence. The HIV-1 capsid represents an attractive target for therapy, though currently available inhibitors lack sufficient potency for clinical development. This project will develop a competition-based assay for small molecules targeting a specific pocket in the HIV-1 capsid and will adapt the assay for high-throughput screening of large compound libraries. The assay will be validated by screening a library of 10,000 small molecules and analyzing the hits for antiviral activity and cytotoxicity. This work will facilitate the identification of lead compounds for development of antivirals targeting the HIV-1 capsid, and will identify novel probes for HIV-1 capsid function. Specific Aims: Aim 1. Establish a competition-based high-throughput screening assay for small molecules that bind the H3-H4 pocket in HIV-1 CA. Aim 2. Perform pilot screens to validate the assay. Aim 3. Test the confirmed hits for antiviral activity against wild type HIV- and mutant viruses that are resistant to known capsid inhibitors.

描述：艾滋病毒/艾滋病仍然是一种全球流行病和公共卫生威胁。尽管开发了有效的抗逆转录病毒药物，但治疗并不能治愈，因此是终生的。长期治疗常常因病毒耐药突变和不完全依从性而受到影响。尽管目前可用的抑制剂缺乏足够的临床开发效力，但 HIV-1 衣壳代表了一个有吸引力的治疗靶点。该项目将开发一种基于竞争的检测方法，用于针对 HIV-1 衣壳中特定口袋的小分子，并将调整该检测方法以用于大型化合物库的高通量筛选。该检测方法将通过筛选 10,000 个小分子库并分析其抗病毒活性和细胞毒性来进行验证。这项工作将有助于鉴定用于开发针对 HIV-1 衣壳的抗病毒药物的先导化合物，并将鉴定用于 HIV-1 衣壳功能的新型探针。具体目标：目标 1. 针对结合 HIV-1 CA 中 H3-H4 口袋的小分子建立基于竞争的高通量筛选试验。目标 2. 进行试点筛选以验证测定。目标 3. 测试已确认的针对野生型 HIV 病毒和对已知衣壳抑制剂具有抗性的突变病毒的抗病毒活性。
