The new preparation provokes a HIV to kill itself


teethNow scientists test a new preparation which actually provokes necessary norm of mutations of a HIV in hope that the lethal virus will mutate until will be lost definitively. The HIV notorious for the ability repeatedly to change, and also to ignore different preparations, intended it to destroy, tells Discovery.

The HIV so depends on a mutation, that it really puts it on edge of own existence, - John Reno, the chief executive in Koronis Pharmaceuticals, the company developing a medicine under name KP-1461 has told. - But we supposed, that if we could enlarge the necessary norm of a mutation the HIV could be brought definitively to nothing.

KP-1461 - A cloudy encouraging a mutation. Over it here some years scientists of western company Koronis Pharmaceuticals work. KP-1461 it is similar simultaneously to a thymine (the basis which is a part of DNA, and also as the rare basis - in RNA and on citozin (the basis which is a part of nucleic acids at all live organisms, and also in structure of some antibiotics and coenzymes) and can sometimes substitute one of the bases in DNA, enlarging number of genetic mistakes. And escalating of genetic mistakes is capable to blast and a HIV.
