More Information
Summary:The invention provides polyamides suitable for modulating cellular or viral gene expression by binding to an identified target DNA sequence adjacent to the binding site of a minor groove transcription factor protein. The polyamides of the present invention are useful for the treatment of a human infected with a virus such as HIV-1. The polyamides of the present invention are also useful for the treatment of conditions, such as cancers, that result from the expression or over-expression of cellular genes, particularly oncogenes.
