The present invention relates to small molecules as entry inhibitors of the HIV virus, processes for their preparation as well as pharmaceutical compositions, their use as medicines, and diagnostic kits comprising them. The present invention also concerns combinations of the present entry inhibitors with other anti-retroviral agents. It further relates to their use in assays as reference compounds or as reagents. The compounds of the present invention are useful for preventing or treating infection by HIV and for treating AIDS.

Entry inhibitors of the HIV virus

The present invention concerns a fluorescence resonance energy transfer based high throughput test system to measure the formation of the RSV F1 six-helix bundle. In a first embodiment the current invention relates to a homogeneous time resolved fluorescence-based test system comprising a first helical polypeptide consisting essentially of the sequence of IQN57 (SEQ ID NO: 1); a second helical polypeptide consisting essentially of the sequence of C45 (SEQ ID NO: 2) wherein said IQN57 is labeled with a light emitting fluorophore and said C45 is labeled with an ultra-violet excitable fluorophore.

This invention relates to hydrolase fluorogenic substrates with improved cell permeability, methods for the preparation thereof, and methods of measuring activities of hydrolases, particularly in cell-based assays. The substrates easily diffuse into the cells, where they are enzymatically processed to yield photostable fluorescent products, and are particularly fitted for visualising enzyme-derived activities in cell-based assays.

Fluorogenic enzyme substrates and methods of preparation

The present invention realtes to 5H-pyrazolo[1,5-c][1,3]benzoxazin-5-yl)phenyl methanone derivatives as inhibitors of the viral replication of the HIV virus, processes for their preparation as well as pharmaceutical compositions, their use as medicines, and diagnostic kits comprising them. The present invention also concerns combinations of the present HIV inhibitors with other anti-retroviral agents. It further relates to their use in assays as reference compounds or as reagents. The compounds of the present invention are useful for preventing or treating infection by HIV and for treating AIDS.

The invention relates to reporter molecules comprising at least one detection domain capable of emitting a signal and at least one membrane anchoring domain, which promotes the association of the reporter molecule with a membrane. The degree and rate of membrane association of the reporter molecule is approximated by the signal emitted by the detection domain. This signal provides a marker for the membrane association status of the membrane anchoring portion, or of the reporter molecule as a whole. Treatments or agents may be tested for their ability to alter membrane association or localization by observing or measuring the signal emitted by the detection domain. Thus, the invention provides means and methods for determining the capability of an agent to interfere at least in part with the distribution of a reporter molecule in a cell. These methods are useful for drug discovery; the phenotypic evaluation of cells, preferably patient cells; and for tailoring a therapeutic program for treating a patient.

Reporter molecules and methods for assaying the lipidations status of a cell

The present invention is directed to reporter molecules and tags that may be used to monitor a target substance in a biological system. More particularly, the present invention relates to the use of an apo metal binding protein as a reporter molecule or tag. An apo metal binding protein may be bound to a protein or tissue or introduced into a cell. The invention also relates to methods of utilizing the apo metal binding protein for detecting a cell expressing a protein of interest, localizing a protein in a cell, and designing a therapeutic agent for treating a disease or infection.
