The present invention relates to improving the processing rate of a sequencing reaction, for example in a nanopore sequencing reaction, by means of using improved nucleoside-tags. The tags are linked to the nucleoside phosphate via a Pictet Spengler reaction. Exemplary sequencing reactions that are improved by the present methods include nanopore-based nucleic acid sequencing-by-synthesis reactions.

Anti-viral compounds with low cytotoxicity are identified from screening of products found in Red Sea sponges, including the sponge Stylissa carteri. The identified compounds can be brominated pyrrole-2-aminoimidazole alkaloids and derivatives thereof. Specific examples of identified compounds include oroidin, hymenialdisine, and debromohymenialdisine, as well as derivatives thereof. The compounds also can be useful scaffolds or pharmacores for further chemical modification and derivatization. Selected compounds, particularly oroidin, show selective anti-viral HIV-1 activity coupled with reduced cytotoxicity. The compounds can function as HIV reverse-transcriptase inhibitors, and molecular modeling can be used to confirm inhibition.
