Abstract

Pyrrole-imidazole (PI) polyamides are novel gene silencers that inhibit promoter activity by its strong binding on DNA to block binding of transcription factor. PI polyamides can be freely designed and synthesized to promoter of any genes that are transcriptionaly responsible for the cause of diseases. We have developed PI polyamides targeting TGF-1 for fibrotic deseases.
