Abstrakt: ABSTRACTWe assessed the anti-human immunodeficiency virus (anti-HIV) activity in vitro of new platelet-activating factor (PAF) receptor antagonists, as PAF and viral replication are thought to be involved in HIV neuropathogenesis. We found that PMS-601 inhibited proinflammatory cytokine synthesis and HIV replication in macrophages and potentiated the antiretroviral activity of zidovudine. These results suggest that PMS-601 is of potential value as an adjuvant treatment for HIV infection.
