HIV: Dendritic cells as embers for the infectious fire [PDF]
In people with HIV-1, most of the CD4-expressing T cells that produce virus are short-lived and vulnerable to anti-retroviral agents. But the initial ‘fire’ of HIV-1 infection may begin in, and be maintained by, cells of the dendritic cell ...

A chalcone derivative reactivates latent HIV-1 transcription through activating P-TEFb and promoting Tat-SEC interaction on viral promoter. [PDF]
The principal barrier to the eradication of HIV/AIDS is the existence of latent viral reservoirs. One strategy to overcome this barrier is to use latency-reversing agents (LRAs) to reactivate the latent proviruses, which can then be eliminated by ...

Strategies in the Design of Prodrugs of Anti-HIV Agents
Control of AIDS requires development of special therapeutic strategies in order to reduce the level of monocyte/macrophage HIV infection, to prevent spread of HIV within the monocyte/macrophage reservoir, to maintain a therapeutically effective drug concentration in sanctuaries such as the brain and to overcome the problem of cellular resistance ...

Identification of novel 2-benzoxazolinone derivatives with specific inhibitory activity against the HIV-1 nucleocapsid protein [PDF]
In this report, we present a new benzoxazole derivative endowed with inhibitory activity against the HIV-1 nucleocapsid protein (NC). NC is a 55-residue basic protein with nucleic acid chaperone properties, which has emerged as a novel and potential ...

Dual-acting stapled peptides target both HIV-1 entry and assembly [PDF]
Background: Previously, we reported the conversion of the 12-mer linear and cell-impermeable peptide CAI to a cell-penetrating peptide NYAD-1 by using an i,i + 4 hydrocarbon stapling technique and confirmed its binding to the C-terminal domain (CTD ...

Focus on chirality of HIV-1 non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors [PDF]
Chiral HIV-1 non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) are of great interest since one enantiomer is often more potent than the corresponding counterpart against the HIV-1 wild type (WT) and the HIV-1 drug resistant mutant strains.

Indolylarylsulfones, a fascinating story of highly potent human immunodeficiency virus type 1 non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors [PDF]
Indolylarylsulfones are a potent class of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. In this review, the structure activity relationship (SAR) studies to improve the profile of sulfone L-737,126 discovered by ...

Failure of dideoxynucleosides to inhibit human immunodeficiency virus replication in cultured human macrophages. [PDF]
Primary human monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) were shown to have diminished deoxynucleoside kinase activities compared to T lymphoblasts, and a reduced ability to phosphorylate dideoxynucleosides with anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) activity ...

Letter Ruling 12-6: Sales/Use Tax on Publishing Software [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Infection with, and treatment of HIV is associated with effects on glycaemia and renal function. The purpose of this study was therefore to compare glycaemic control and albuminuria in HIV-positive and HIV-negative type 2 diabetic patients ...
