Popis: | Integration is an essential step in HIV replication and is catalyzed by an enzyme called integrase. We have isolated equisetin (1a), and a novel opposite stereochemical homolog, phomasetin (2a), from Fusarium heterosporum and a Phoma sp. respectively. They inhibit the invitro recombinant integrase enzyme with IC50 values of 7–20 μM. Unlike known inhibitors, these compounds also inhibit the integration reactions catalyzed by preintegration complexes isolated from HIV-1 infected cells. |
