  • Patent number: 7615542
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of a dioxolane thymine compound according to the chemical structure of Formula (I): where R1 is H, an acyl group, a C1-C20 alkyl or ether group, a phosphate, diphosphate, triphosphate or phosphodiester group, for use in the treatment of HIV infections which exhibit resistance to 3TC and/or AZT. Preferably, compounds according to the present invention are combined with at least one anti-HIV agent which inhibits HIV by a mechanism other than through the inhibition of thymidine kinase (TK). These agents include those selected from among nuleocoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI), non-nucloeoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, protease inhibitors, fusion inhibitors, among others.

  • Publication number: 20090269759
    Abstract: Nucleotide analogs that can sustain the enzymatic synthesis of double-stranded nucleic acid from a nucleic template are described. The nucleotide analogs include: (i) a base selected from the group consisting of adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine, uracil and their analogs; (ii) a label attached to the base or analog of the base via a cleavable linker; (iii) a deoxyribose; and (iv) one or more phosphate groups. The linker and/or the label inhibits template directed polymerase incorporation of a further nucleotide substrate onto an extended primer strand. In addition, cleavage of the linker leaves a residue attached to the base which is not present in the natural nucleotide and which does not inhibit extension of the primer strand. The nucleotide analogs can therefore be used as reversible terminators in sequencing by synthesis methods without blocking the 3? hydroxyl group. Methods of sequencing DNA using the substrates are also described.

  • Patent number: 6914052
    Abstract: The present invention relates to dideoxynucleoside analog compounds containing a dideoxy ribofuranosyl moiety that exhibit selective anti-viral activity coupled with substantially low toxicity toward the host cells. In particular, the compounds according to the present invention show potent inhibition of the replication of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), while remaining substantially inert toward host cell DNA. Compounds according to the present invention exhibit primary utility as agents for inhibiting the growth or replication of retroviruses, particularly HIV. The compounds of the invention comprise a (2,3?-dideoxy-?-ribofuranosyl) ring coupled to a heterocyclic nucleobase that lacks an “O2 carbonyl”, that enables them to selectively react with and inhibit viral reverse transcriptase, while remaining substantially unreactive toward human DNA polymerases.
