<strong>Proceedings</strong> of the 31 st European Peptide SymposiumMichal Lebl, Morten Meldal, Knud J. Jensen, Thomas Hoeg-Jensen (Editors)European Peptide Society, 2010The Synthesis of Some Peptides Intended to Be Inhibitors of theRNA-Polymerase of Influenza A VirusOleg V. Matusevich 1 and Oleg I. Kiselev 21 Saint-Petersburg State University, Chemical Faculty, St. Petersburg, 198504, Russia;2 Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, Research Institute of Influenza,St. Petersburg, 197376, RussiaIntroductionThe limited choice of anti-viral drugs is the reason of low efficiency of acute and persistentinfection treatment [1]. The major drawback of modern anti-viral drugs is lowvirus-specific targeting [2]. Considerable possibilities in drug design are connected withdevelopment of peptides homologous to functional domains of virus-specific proteins [3].The work presented here is concerned with the synthesis of some peptides appearingto be the potential inhibitors of the RNA-polymerase of influenza A virus. The effect ofthese peptides is based on the <strong>com</strong>petitive inhibition of virus RNA-polymerase <strong>com</strong>plexorganization, said RNA-polymerase consisting of three subunits, namely PB1, PB2, and PA[4].Results and DiscussionThe choice of peptides to synthesize was premised on the data both on tertiary structure ofthe <strong>com</strong>plex and from biological experiments on strains of Hong Kong isolate andCalifornian isolate. The former is the ancestor of the world outbreak of bird flu while thelatter is known as swine flu and caused boom in 2009.Sixteen fragments from the PB1 subunit of said viruses RNA-polymerase weresynthesized, namely 1-5, 1-20, 1-25, 6-13, 6-25, 14-25, 26-30, 271-290, 381-386, 381-390,391-400, 381-400, 395-400, 411-420, 525-530, and 525-535 fragments. The amino acidsequences of these fragments are represented in the table below.N Designation Amino Acid Sequence1 PB1 (1-5) H-Met-Asp-Val-Asn-Pro-OH2 PB1 (1-20) H-Met-Asp-Val-Asn-Pro-||-Thr-Leu-Leu-Phe-Leu-Lys-Val-Pro-Ala-Gln-Asn-Ala-Ile-Ser-Thr-OH3 PB1 (1-25) H-Met-Asp-Val-Asn-Pro-||-Thr-Leu-Leu-Phe-Leu-Lys-Val-Pro-||-Ala-Gln-Asn-Ala-Ile-Ser-Thr-Thr-Phe-Pro-Tyr-Thr-OH4 PB1 (6-13) H-Thr-Leu-Leu-Phe-Leu-Lys-Val-Pro-OH5 PB1 (6-25) H-Thr-Leu-Leu-Phe-Leu-Lys-Val-Pro-||-Ala-Gln-Asn-Ala-Ile-Ser-Thr-Thr-Phe-Pro-Tyr-Thr-OH6 PB1(14-25) H-Ala-Gln-Asn-Ala-Ile-Ser-Thr-Thr-Phe-Pro-Tyr-Thr-OH7 PB1 (26-30) H-Gly-Asp-Pro-Pro-Tyr-OH8 PB1(271-290) H-Leu-Pro-Val-Gly-Gly-Asn-Glu-Lys-Lys-Ala-Lys-Leu-Ala-Asn-Val-Val-Arg-Lys-Met-Met-OH9 PB1 (381-386) H-Phe-Asn-Glu-Ser-Thr-Arg-OH10 PB1(381-390) H-Phe-Asn-Glu-Ser-Thr-Arg-Lys-Lys-Ile-Glu-OH11 PB1 (381-400) H-Phe-Asn-Glu-Ser-Thr-Arg-||-Lys-Lys-Ile-Glu-Lys-Ile-Arg-Pro-||-Leu-Leu-Val-Glu-Gly-Thr-OH12 PB1(391-400) H-Lys-Ile-Arg-Pro-Leu-Leu-Val-Glu-Gly-Thr-OH13 PB1 (395-400) H-Leu-Leu-Val-Glu-Gly-Thr-OH14 PB1 (411-420) H-Met-Phe-Asn-Met-Leu-Ser-Thr-Val-Leu-Gly-OH15 PB1 (525-530) H-Ile-Gly-Val-Thr-Val-Ile-OH16 PB1 (525-535) H-Ile-Gly-Val-Thr-Val-Ile-Lys-Asn-Asn-Met-Ile-OH548
