The influence of thioketo substitution in pyrimidine bases of double-stranded polynucleotides on interferon induction was investigated. The stabilizing effect of 2-thioketo substitution was reflected in the increased interferon inducing activity of poly(A-s2U) over that of poly(A-U). Poly(A-s2U) and poly(I)-poly(s2C) were as effective as poly(I)-Poly(C) in rabbit cells. Poly(I)-poly(C) and poly(I)-poly(s2C) were compared in several animal species. No differences in biological effects were observed in rabbits and dogs. In rodents, poly(I)-poly(s2C) was less effective and less toxic.Poly(I)-poly(s2C) was highly resistant against degradation by human serum. Further investigations seem to be justified to elucidate whether this property offers any advantages for the potential clinical utilization of poly(I)-poly(s2C).
研究了双链多核苷酸嘧啶碱基中的硫酮取代对干扰素诱导的影响。2-硫酮取代的稳定作用体现在聚(A-s2U)的干扰素诱导活性高于聚(A-U)。聚(A-s2U)和聚(I)-聚(s2C)在兔细胞中与聚(I)-聚(C)一样有效。在几种动物物种中比较了聚(I)-聚(C)和聚(I)-聚(s2C)。在兔和狗中未观察到生物学效应的差异。在啮齿动物中,聚(I)-聚(s2C)效果较差且毒性较小。聚(I)-聚(s2C)对人血清降解具有高度抗性。进一步的研究似乎有必要阐明该特性是否为聚(I)-聚(s2C)的潜在临床应用提供任何优势。
