Inhibition of feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) replication by DNA binding polyamides.
Two DNA minor-groove binding polyamides 1 and 2 were designed and synthesized and evaluated for inhibition of FIV-34TF10 replication. Both 1 and 2 decreased the replication of FIV-34TF10 by 75% by acting at the level of the virus but outside of the LTR or env region.
