Au(iii) compounds as HIV nucleocapsid protein (NCp7)-nucleic acid antagonists.


ABSTRACT: The HIV nucleocapsid NCp7-SL2 RNA interaction is interrupted in the presence of a formally substitution-inert gold(dien)-nucleobase/N-heterocycle AuN4 compound where the N-heterocycle serves the dual purposes of a template for "non-covalent" molecular recognition of the essential tryptophan of the protein, mimicking the natural reaction and subsequent "fixation" by Au-Cys bond formation providing a chemotype for a new distinct class of nucleocapsid-nucleic acid antagonist.
