Two series of new nucleoside derivatives, acyclic nucleosides and tricyclic base nucleosides, were screened for cellular toxicity and against HIV-1. Compounds were tested on MT4, MT2, U937 cell lines and PBMCs in multiwell tissue culture plates. Cells were infected in vitro with 2 TCID50/105 cells or 0.2 TCID50/105 cells of HIV-1-LAV-1. Two out of eight tricyclic derivatives showed little cytotoxicity; at 100μM, only two acyclic compounds exhibited cellular toxicity in U937 cells. In vitro, none of these 19 compounds demonstrated any efficient activity against the lentiviral HIV infection and replication. Furthermore, combinations of these acyclonucleosides with ddC or AZT did not inhibit HIV-1-LAV-1 replication additively or synergistically. Because acyclonucleosides did not induce any cytotoxic effect, other compounds of this family should be investigated.

ABSTRACT (−)-β-d-1′,3′-Dioxolane guanosine (DXG) and 2,6-diaminopurine (DAPD) dioxolanyl nucleoside analogues have been reported to be potent inhibitors of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). We have recently conducted experiments to more fully characterize their in vitro anti-HIV-1 profiles. Antiviral assays performed in cell culture systems determined that DXG had 50% effective concentrations of 0.046 and 0.085 μM when evaluated against HIV-1IIIB in cord blood mononuclear cells and MT-2 cells, respectively. These values indicate that DXG is approximately equipotent to 2′,3′-dideoxy-3′-thiacytidine (3TC) but 5- to 10-fold less potent than 3′-azido-2′,3′-dideoxythymidine (AZT) in the two cell systems tested. At the same time, DAPD was approximately 5- to 20-fold less active than DXG in the anti-HIV-1 assays. When recombinant or clinical variants of HIV-1 were used to assess the efficacy of the purine nucleoside analogues against drug-resistant HIV-1, it was observed that AZT-resistant virus remained sensitive to DXG and DAPD. Virus harboring a mutation(s) which conferred decreased sensitivity to 3TC, 2′,3′-dideoxyinosine, and 2′,3′-dideoxycytidine, such as a 65R, 74V, or 184V mutation in the viral reverse transcriptase (RT), exhibited a two- to fivefold-decreased susceptibility to DXG or DAPD. When nonnucleoside RT inhibitor-resistant and protease inhibitor-resistant viruses were tested, no change in virus sensitivity to DXG or DAPD was observed. In vitro drug combination assays indicated that DXG had synergistic antiviral effects when used in combination with AZT, 3TC, or nevirapine. In cellular toxicity analyses, DXG and DAPD had 50% cytotoxic concentrations of greater than 500 μM when tested in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and a variety of human tumor and normal cell lines. The triphosphate form of DXG competed with the natural nucleotide substrates and acted as a chain terminator of the nascent DNA. These data suggest that DXG triphosphate may be the active intracellular metabolite, consistent with the mechanism by which other nucleoside analogues inhibit HIV-1 replication. Our results suggest that the use of DXG and DAPD as therapeutic agents for HIV-1 infection should be explored.

Novel symmetrical nucIeotide-(5′,5′)-dimers of 3′-O-acetylthymidine, 3′-O-methylthymidine, 3′-O-ethylthymidine, 3′-O-n-propylthymidine and 3′-azido-3′-deoxythymidine (AZT) were synthesized as membrane soluble pro-drugs. These were prepared using phosphorodichloridate chemistry and were characterised by spectroscopic and analytical data. In-vitro evaluation of the derivatives in cells acutely infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) demonstrated a range of activities. These derivatives were generally found to display poor inhibition of HIV proliferation. Derivatives containing AZT moieties were found to be potent, but such compounds were less active than the parent nucleoside. The data indicated that the AZT-containing compounds act primarily via the release of the free nucleoside. However, in some cases, the dimers of certain inactive nucleoside analogues were found to be active. In these cases, release of the nucleoside alone cannot account for the activity.

ABSTRACT Nucleoside analogues with a Z- or anE-methylenecyclopropane moiety were synthesized and examined for activity against human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) in vitro. The addition of a methyl phenyl phosphoro-l-alaninate moiety to modestly active analogues resulted in potentiation of their anti-HIV-1 activity. Two such compounds, designated QYL-685 (with 2,6-diaminopurine) and QYL-609 (with adenine), were most potent against HIV-1 in vitro, with 50% inhibitory concentrations of 0.034 and 0.0026 μM, respectively, in MT-2 cell-based assays. Both compounds were active against zidovudine-resistant, didanosine-resistant, and multi-dideoxynucleoside-resistant infectious clones in vitro. Further development of these analogues as potential therapies for HIV-1 infection is warranted.

Adoptive immunotherapy using chimeric antigen receptor–modified T cells (CAR-T) has made substantial contributions to the treatment of certain B cell malignancies. Such treatment modalities could potentially obviate the need for long-term antiretroviral drug therapy in HIV/AIDS. Here, we report the development of HIV-1–based lentiviral vectors that encode CARs targeting multiple highly conserved sites on the HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein using a two-molecule CAR architecture, termed duoCAR. We show that transduction with lentiviral vectors encoding multispecific anti-HIV duoCARs confer primary T cells with the capacity to potently reduce cellular HIV infection by up to 99% in vitro and >97% in vivo. T cells are the targets of HIV infection, but the transduced T cells are protected from genetically diverse HIV-1 strains. The CAR-T cells also potently eliminated PBMCs infected with broadly neutralizing antibody-resistant HIV strains, including VRC01/3BNC117-resistant HIV-1. Furthermore, multispecific anti-HIV duoCAR-T cells demonstrated long-term control of HIV infection in vivo and prevented the loss of CD4+T cells during HIV infection using a humanized NSG mouse model of intrasplenic HIV infection. These data suggest that multispecific anti-HIV duoCAR-T cells could be an effective approach for the treatment of patients with HIV-1 infection.

ABSTRACT Aplaviroc (AVC), an experimental CCR5 inhibitor, potently blocks in vitro the infection of R5-tropic human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (R5-HIV-1) at subnanomolar 50% inhibitory concentrations. Although maraviroc is presently clinically available, further studies are required to determine the role of CCR5 inhibitors in combinations with other drugs. Here we determined anti-HIV-1 activity using combinations of AVC with various anti-HIV-1 agents, including four U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved drugs, two CCR5 inhibitors (TAK779 and SCH-C) and two CXCR4 inhibitors (AMD3100 and TE14011). Combination effects were defined as synergistic or antagonistic when the activity of drug A combined with B was statistically greater or less, respectively, than the additive effects of drugs A and A combined and drugs B and B combined by using the Combo method, described in this paper, which provides (i) a flexible choice of interaction models and (ii) the use of nonparametric statistical methods. Synergistic effects against R5-HIV-1Ba-L and a 50:50 mixture of R5-HIV-1Ba-L and X4-HIV-1ERS104pre (HIV-1Ba-L/104pre) were seen when AVC was combined with zidovudine, nevirapine, indinavir, or enfuvirtide. Mild synergism and additivity were observed when AVC was combined with TAK779 and SCH-C, respectively. We also observed more potent synergism against HIV-1Ba-L/104pre when AVC was combined with AMD3100 or TE14011. The data demonstrate a tendency toward greater synergism with AVC plus either of the two CXCR4 inhibitors compared to the synergism obtained with combinations of AVC and other drugs, suggesting that the development of effective CXCR4 inhibitors may be important for increasing the efficacies of CCR5 inhibitors.

ABSTRACT A novel fibronectin-based protein (Adnectin) HIV-1 inhibitor was generated using in vitro selection. This inhibitor binds to human CD4 with a high affinity (3.9 nM) and inhibits viral entry at a step after CD4 engagement and preceding membrane fusion. The progenitor sequence of this novel inhibitor was selected from a library of trillions of Adnectin variants using mRNA display and then further optimized for improved antiviral and physical properties. The final optimized inhibitor exhibited full potency against a panel of 124 envelope (gp160) proteins spanning 11 subtypes, indicating broad-spectrum activity. Resistance profiling studies showed that this inhibitor required 30 passages (151 days) in culture to acquire sufficient resistance to result in viral titer breakthrough. Resistance mapped to the loss of multiple potential N-linked glycosylation sites in gp120, suggesting that inhibition is due to steric hindrance of CD4-binding-induced conformational changes.

The present work was aimed to identify phytochemicals in C. uredinicola methanol extract from qualitative, TLC and GC-MS method and evaluated for antioxidant, anti-HIV, anti-diabetes, anti-cholinesterase activity in vitro and in silico. The C. uredinicola extract showed flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids, glycosides, phenols, terpenoids, and coumarins presence in qualitative method. From GC-MS analysis, identified seven different phytochemicals and out of seven, four (coumarin, coumarilic acid, hymecromone, alloisoimperatorin) are coumarins. The C. uredinicola extract have shown significant antioxidant activity in DPPH (73) and FRAP (1359) method. The HIV-1 RT (83.81+2.14), gp 120 (80.24+2.31), integrase (79.43+3.14) and protease (77.63+2.14), DPPIV, β-glucosidase and acetyl cholinesterase activity was significantly reduced by the extract. The 2-diphenylmethyleneamino methyl ester had shown significant interaction with oxidant and HIV-1 proteins whereas alloisoimperatorin have interacted with diabetes and cholinesterase proteins followed by hymecromone with high binding energy. These three phytochemicals are non-carcinogens, non-toxic, readily degradable and have drug likeliness properties. The C. uredinicola phytochemicals are responsible for management of diabetes, HIV-1 and Alzheimer. Further in vivo work is needed to justify our research.
