A three-dimensional pharmacophore model has been generated for HIV-1 integrase (HIV-1 IN) from known inhibitors. A dataset consisting of 26 inhibitors was selected on the basis of the information content of the structures and activity data as required by the catalyst/HypoGen program. Our model was able to predict the activity of other known HIV-1 IN inhibitors not included in the model generation, and can be further used to identify structurally diverse compounds with desired biological activity by virtual screening.

Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) poses a significant threat to life. Antiretroviral therapy is employed to diminish the replication of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), extending life expectancy and improving the quality of patients' lives. These HIV-1 integrase inhibitors form robust covalent interactions with Mg ions, contributing to their tight binding, thereby inhibiting the integration of viral DNA into the CD4 cell DNA.

The lens epithelium derived growth factor of 75 kD (LEDGF/p75) is a transcription co-activator and epigenetic reader that has emerged as a stress oncoprotein in multiple human cancers. Growing evidence indicates that it promotes tumor cell survival against certain therapeutic drugs. The amino (N)-terminal region of LEDGF/p75 contains a PWWP domain that reads methylated histone marks, critical for recognizing transcriptionally active chromatin sites.

Disruption of HIV-1 Integrase (IN) interactions with the host-factor Lens Epithelium-Derived Growth Factor (LEDGF)/p75 leads to decreased, random integration, increased latent infection, and described here, accumulation of HIV-1 antisense RNA (asRNA). asRNA increase was observed following interruptions of IN-LEDGF/p75 interactions either through pharmacologic perturbations of IN-LEDGF/p75 by treatment with allosteric HIV-1 integrase inhibitors (ALLINIs) or in cell lines with LEDGF genetic knockout. Additionally, by impairing Tat-dependent HIV transcription, asRNA abundance markedly increases.

Although HIV-1 integration sites favor active transcription units in the human genome, high-resolution analysis of individual HIV-1 integration sites has shown that the virus can integrate into a variety of host genomic locations, including non-genic regions. The invisible infection by HIV-1 integrating into non-genic regions, challenging the traditional understanding of HIV-1 integration site selection, is more problematic because they are selected for preservation in the host genome during prolonged antiretroviral therapies. Here, we showed that HIV-1 integrates its viral genome into the vicinity of R-loops, a genomic structure composed of DNA-RNA hybrids.

An efficient oxidation of stilbenes to α-diketones co-catalyzed by bismuth nitrate and iodine is reported. The utilization of molecular oxygen as a terminal oxidant and water as the reaction solvent provides a low-cost and environmentally friendly approach to preparing the α-diketone derivatives from readily available stilbenes. Isotope labeling experiments suggest that the two oxygen atoms of the α- diketone products mainly originate from water.
