DNA/RNA intercalating agents as antivirotics: possible mechanisms of action
 Kropáček, Václav ; Španielová, Hana (advisor) ; Šmahelová, Jana (referee)
DNA/RNA intercalating agents are compounds with capability to insert themself between nucleic acids base pairs. This phenomenon is accompanied by structural or functional disruption of said nucleic acid. Some of these compounds are used as therapeutics for cancer, bacterial or parasital infection or are used as antivirotics. This work summarizes different mechanisms which are responsible for antiviral effects of three significant classes of intercalating agents, acridine derivates, quinolines and quinolones. Except for intercalation into nucleic acids, these compounds are also capable of alkalization of cellular organels, inhibition of some viral enzymes (helicase, integrase) and immunomodulation. These abilities enables them to disrupt viral life cycle.
