<p>The present invention generally relates to an assay for identifying inhibitors of Human Papillomavirus (HPV), comprising: a) contacting a HPV E2 transactivation domain with a probe to form a E2:probe complex and measuring a signal from said probe to establish a base line level; b) incubating the E2:probe complex with a test compound and measuring the signal from said probe; c) comparing the signal from step b) with the signal from step a); wherein said probe is a compound of formula (I) or its enantiomers or diastereoisomers thereof, wherein R1, A, X, W, Y, R3 and R4 are as defined herein; or a derivative thereof, wherein said derivative is a probe of formula (I) labeled with a detectable label or an affinity tag, wherein wavy lines represent bonds of unspecified stereochemistry; and wherein said signal is selected from: fluorescence, resonance energy transfer, time resolved fluorescence, radioactivity, fluorescence polarization, change in the intrinsic spectral properties, luminescence and plasma-resonance; whereby a modulation in said signal is an indication that said test compound binds to said transactivation domain.</p> |
