The interaction of illimaquinone, a selective inhibitor of the RNase H activity, with the reverse transcriptases of human immunodeficiency and murine leukemia retroviruses

Abstract excerpt

Illimaquinone, a natural marine product, was shown by us to inhibit preferentially the ribonuclease H (RNase H) activity of the reverse transcriptase (RT) of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). We have also shown that illimaquinone inhibits the RNase H activity of HIV-2 RT in addition to that of HIV-1 RT, murine leukemia virus RT, and Escherichia coli RNase H. Chemical modifications of HIV-1 RT by...
