Discovery and characterization of an HIV-1 Tat antagonist
Abstract
Ro 5-3335, 7-chloro-5-(2-pyrryl)-3H-1,4-benzo-diazepin-2-(H)-one, has been shown to inhibit gene expression controlled by the human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) LTR promoter. The inhibition was specific for the viral transcriptional transactivator Tat. The compound did not inhibit the basal activity of the HIV-1 LTR or the activity of promoters not responsive to Tat. Consistent with its mode of action, Ro 5-3335 inhibited HIV-1 replication (IC50 = 0.1-1 microM) by reducing viral RNA synthesis in acutely, as well as chronically, infected cells in vitro. The compound was active against HIV-1 and HIV-2, and AZT-resistant clinical isolates.
