Substances affecting the infection and replication of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)

N Yamamoto et al. AIDS Res. 1986 Dec.

Abstract

The effects of various compounds were studied quantitatively on the growth of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). For this we used a human T-cell leukemia virus type I carrying cell line, MT-4 which is most permissive for HIV infection. The results are summarized as follows: 1) Prostaglandin E2 and 12-0-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate enhanced the production of HIV significantly in MT-4 cells as well as a continuous HIV producer Molt-4/HTLV-III cells. 2) Interferon gamma, retinoic acid and 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine inhibited the replication of HIV at the concentrations which were not cytotoxic. Mechanism of action of these compounds and its clinical implications are discussed.
