Antagonists identified by this screening assay are provided, as are methods for using the same to inhibit microRNA activity and prevent or treat disease.

  • Patent number: 7928236
    Abstract: The subject of the present invention is to provide a fluorescent substance excitable under visible light, having higher photostability and a long fluorescence lifetime. Another subject is to provide a fluorescent substance consists of a non-natural amino acid applicable to peptide synthesis systems. Searching fluorescent substances, which are fluorescent amino acids and excitable under visible light, having the lowest possible molecular weight for a high photostability resulted in forming a condensed polycyclic aromatic compound by subjecting a compound having an acridone structure to substitution with an amino acid and further condensation with a benzene ring. Thus, the subject is achieved by the fluorescent substance consisting of amino acid-substituted benzoacridone derivative excitable under visible light.
