  • Publication number: 20080108581
    Abstract: The invention relate to the use of a compound of formula A-B—C Wherein A is a DNA sequence-specific ligand capable of simultaneously and specifically recognizing a sequence common to genes of pathological interest; B is a linker arm, said linker arm being bound to the 3? end of A; C is a topoisomerase I posion; for the preparation of a drug for the treatment of a disease brought about by the expression of a gene and said gene is inhibited by the stabilized topoisomerase I-mediated DNA cleavage. Application, particularly, for the treatment of infective microorganism or virus, dismetabolic disease and autoimmune disease.
