Abstract

Disclosed is a method for the inhibition of binding of a ligand to an RNA, the inhibition being mediated by a small organic molecule that binds to the RNA, thereby inhibiting ligand binding. A preferred class of small organic molecules are compounds exemplified by 2,5-Bis[3-(2-N,N-dimethylaminopropylamidino)phenyl]furan.
