We have screened the NCI diversity set library for molecules that bind specifically to stem loop 3 (SL3) RNA of the packaging element Psi of HIV-1 using the docking programs DOCK and AutoDock, followed by MD simulations. The association of the predicted ligands with SL3 RNA was characterized using fluorescence, ITC, UV-melting, CD, and footprinting techniques. Nine ligands for SL3 RNA have been identified, four of which bind with higher affinity to SL3 RNA than to either single- or double-stranded RNA motifs. The most selective ligands, 9 (NSC252359) and 5 (NSC123111), bind SL3 RNA with dissociation constants of 11 microM and 98 microM, respectively. Compound 9 binds with 4-7-fold higher affinity to SL3 RNA than to the other tetraloops found in Psi-RNA, SL2 and SL4 RNAs. The results suggest that both 9 and 5 bind to the stem region of SL3 RNA without large distortions of the SL3 RNA.
