Abstract:
Abstract Hexadeoxyribonucleotides (6-mers) having a 5′-TGGGAG-3′ sequence bearing hydrophobic substituents at their 5′-ends via phosphodiester linkages were prepared and evaluated for anti-HIV-1 activity in vitro. Some of these modified 6-mers showed weak anti-HIV-1 activities and they were less potent than the 6-mer having a DMTr group directly attached at its 5′-terminus.
