Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Virology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • The poly(G).poly(C) complex is a known interferon inducer.
  • Platinum-based compounds are used in chemotherapy and have immunomodulatory potential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the modification of the double-stranded poly(G).poly(C) complex using cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cis-DDP).
  • To evaluate the impact of cis-DDP modification on the complex's structural integrity.
  • To assess the effects of modified poly(G).poly(C) on interferon induction and antiviral activity.

Main Methods:

  • Studied cis-DDP modification of poly(G).poly(C) using two approaches: pre-duplex formation and post-duplex formation.
  • Assessed structural integrity of the modified duplex using the ratio of bound platinum (rb).

  • Tested interferon-inducing and antiviral activity in mice infected with Influenza and Herpes viruses.

    • Main Results:

    • Modification of the pre-formed poly(G).poly(C) duplex with cis-DDP at rb ≤ 0.05 negligibly affected its integrity.
    • The modified complex exhibited improved interferon-inducing capabilities.
    • Enhanced antiviral activity was observed against both Influenza and Herpes virus infections in mice.

    Conclusions:

    • cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) can modify the poly(G).poly(C) complex without significant structural disruption.
    • This modification potentiates the interferon-inducing and antiviral properties of the poly(G).poly(C) complex.
    • The findings suggest potential therapeutic applications for cis-DDP-modified poly(G).poly(C) in viral infections.
