Polynucleotidyl transferases are enzymes involved in several DNA mobility mechanisms in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Some of them such as retroviral integrases are crucial for pathogenous processes and are therefore good candidates for therapeutic approaches. To identify new therapeutic compounds and new tools for investigating the common functional features of these proteins, we addressed the inhibition properties of natural stilbenoids deriving from resveratrol on two models: the HIV-1 integrase and the eukaryote MOS-1 transposase. Two resveratrol dimers, leachianol F and G, were isolated for the first time in  Vitis  along with fourteen known stilbenoids:  E -resveratrol,  E -piceid,  E -pterostilbene,  E -piceatannol, (+)- E-ε- viniferin,  E-ε- viniferinglucoside,  E -scirpusin A, quadragularin A, ampelopsin A, pallidol,  E -miyabenol C,  E -vitisin B, hopeaphenol, and isohopeaphenol and were purified from stalks of  Vitis vinifera  (Vitaceae), and moracin M from stem bark of  Milliciaexelsa  (Moraceae). These compounds were tested in  in vitro  and  in vivo  assays reproducing the activity of both enzymes. Several molecules presented significant inhibition on both systems. Some of the molecules were found to be active against both proteins while others were specific for one of the two models. Comparison of the differential effects of the molecules suggested that the compounds could target specific intermediate nucleocomplexes of the reactions. Additionally  E -pterostilbene was found active on the early lentiviral replication steps in lentiviruses transduced cells. Consequently, in addition to representing new original lead compounds for further modelling of new active agents against HIV-1 integrase, these molecules could be good tools for identifying such reaction intermediates in DNA mobility processes.
