Abstract

Adult T cell leukemia (ATL), caused by infection of human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV- 1), has a poor prognosis and curative therapy is unavailable, so it is important to find or design superior lead compounds for the drug treatment of ATL. We used our micro-reversed fragment-based drug design hypothesis and multi-template hypothesis to extract the tetrahydrotetramethylnaphthalene (TMN) skeleton from tamibarotene, a useful ...
