ABSTRACT G protein-coupled receptor CCR5 is the main coreceptor for macrophage-tropic human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), and various small-molecule CCR5 antagonists are being developed to treat HIV-1 infection. It has been reported that such CCR5 antagonists, including TAK-779, bind to a putative binding pocket formed by transmembrane domains (TMs) 1, 2, 3 and 7 of CCR5, indicating the importance of the conformational changes of the TMs during virus entry. In this report, using a single-round infection assay with human CCR5 and its substitution mutants, we demonstrated that a new CCR5 antagonist, TAK-220, shares the putative interacting amino acid residues Asn252 and Leu255 in TM6 with TAK-779 but also requires the distinct residues Gly163 and Ile198 in TMs 4 and 5, respectively, for its inhibitory effect. We suggested that, together with molecular models of the interactions between the drugs and CCR5, the inhibitory activity of TAK-220 could involve direct interactions with amino acid residues in TMs 4, 5, and 6 in addition to those in the previously postulated binding pocket. The possible interaction of drugs with additional regions of the CCR5 molecule would help to develop a new small-molecule CCR5 antagonist.

Various viral diseases, such as acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, influenza, and hepatitis, have emerged as leading causes of human death worldwide. Scientific endeavor since invention of DNA-dependent RNA polymerase of pox virus in 1967 resulted in better understanding of virus replication and development of various novel therapeutic strategies. Despite considerable advancement in every facet of drug discovery process, development of commercially viable, safe, and effective drugs for these viruses still remains a big challenge. Decades of intense research yielded a handful of natural and synthetic therapeutic options. But emergence of new viruses and drug-resistant viral strains had made new drug development process a never-ending battle. Small-molecule fungal metabolites due to their vast diversity, stereochemical complexity, and preapproved biocompatibility always remain an attractive source for new drug discovery. Though, exploration of therapeutic importance of fungal metabolites has started early with discovery of penicillin, recent prediction asserted that only a small percentage (5–10%) of fungal species have been identified and much less have been scientifically investigated. Therefore, exploration of new fungal metabolites, their bioassay, and subsequent mechanistic study bears huge importance in new drug discovery endeavors. Though no fungal metabolites so far approved for antiviral treatment, many of these exhibited high potential against various viral diseases. This review comprehensively discussed about antiviral activities of fungal metabolites of diverse origin against some important viral diseases. This also highlighted the mechanistic details of inhibition of viral replication along with structure–activity relationship of some common and important classes of fungal metabolites.

The use of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to support process development of advanced microelectronic devices is often challenged by a large amount of samples submitted from wafer fabrication areas and specific-spot analysis. Improving the TEM sample preparation techniques for a fast turnaround time is critical in order to provide a timely support for customers and improve the utilization of TEM. For the specific-area sample preparation, a technique which can be easily prepared with the least amount of effort is preferred. For these reasons, we have developed several techniques which have greatly facilitated the TEM sample preparation.For specific-area analysis, the use of a copper grid with a small hole is found to be very useful. With this small-hole grid technique, TEM sample preparation can be proceeded by well-established conventional methods. The sample is first polished to the area of interest, which is then carefully positioned inside the hole. This polished side is placed against the grid by epoxy Fig. 1 is an optical image of a TEM cross-section after dimpling to light transmission.
