Pyrophosphate Analog HIV-1 Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors

    Description of Technology: The invention relates to compounds that 
inhibit HIV-1 DNA synthesis mediated by reverse transcriptase (RT). 
HIV-1 DNA synthesis by RT utilizes deoxynucleoside 5'-triphosphate 
(dNTP) as substrate and like many other enzymes, the reaction is 
reversible. Pyrophosphate analogs like imidodiphosphate strongly 
promote reverse reaction dNTP products containing the imidodiphosphate 
group instead of the naturally occurring pyrophosphate group. This 
imidodiphosphate-containing dNTP was found to be a potent inhibitor of 
the forward RT reaction. Whereas pyrophosphorolysis is limited by a 
nonchemical step, replacing the bridging oxygen of pyrophosphate with 
an imido group resulted in a change in the rate-limiting step, so that 
the imidodiphosphate-dependent reverse reaction was limited by 
chemistry. There exists, then, the potential to use pyrophosphate 
analogs therapeutically.
    Potential Commercial Applications:
     Anti-microbial.
     HIV therapeutic.
    Development Stage:
     In vitro data available.
