โฆ Synopsis
By bioactive-guided fractionation of a water extract of Cordia spinescens, magnesium lithospermate (1), calcium rosmarinate (2) and magnesium rosmarinate (3) were isolated as potent inhibitory substances against HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) with IC 50 values of 0.8, 5.8 and 3.1 M, respectively. However, they were weak HIV-1 protease (PR) inhibitors with IC 50 > 100 M. The RT inhibition by these compounds was noncompetitive with respect to dTTP substrate.
