Abstract: N-methyl pyrrole/N-methyl imidazole hairpin polyamides are small aromatic rings
that typically select the minor groove of DNA and make the DNA molecule more stable. Hairpin
polyamides can recognize the minor groove of DNA without exposing it to denaturation.
Polyamides (PAs) have gained interest because of arranging gene expression, inhibiting vesicular
stomatitis virus (VSV) replication, and their role against human papillomavirus HPV. Since the
structure of VSV most likely is an identity RNA duplex in one strand, it has been selected as a
prototype virus to test the potential of polyamides for inhibition. Among six sequences of
polyamide, only one molecule numbered 1011 showed the ability to control VSV. Based on this
fact, we synthesized a novel polyamide that resembles 1011 in its building blocks with an
exchange pyrrole ring by imidazole to enhance the interaction between polyamide and genomic
protein of VSV. All negative-strand RNA viruses have the same RNA structure in the
nucleocapsid and that makes the polyamides a good target for negative-strand RNA viruses, such
as respiratory syncytial virus and Ebola virus.

Introduction
VSV is a negative-strand RNA virus, and its genomic RNA forms a single-stranded
structure, which is encapsidated by nucleoproteins. Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), and
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) are famous viruses that belong to the family of negative-strand
RNA viruses (NSVs).[1] These pathogenic viruses can cause acute infections in infants and
young children. RSV was isolated in early 1956, and soon afterward it was available again for
isolation in children to become globally known as a severe virus-infected infant.[2]Furthermore,
RSV is a type of enveloped virus that had led to more than 30 million new episodes in children
under five years with severe hospitalization cases in 2005.[3] Treatment of this virus requires an
active drug, and no effective vaccine is available therefore the need for novel antiviral
medications has gained priority from researchers worldwide. Also, no effective antiviral drugs
are available for many deadlier negative-strand RNA viruses such as vesicular stomatitis, rabies,
