Aqueous extracts of 75 different traditional medicines, currently used for the treatment of various human diseases in China, Japan and Indonesia, were screened for possible inhibitory activity against HIV-1 protease using fluorogenic assay. Forty extracts exhibited inhibitory activity at a concentra

Forty-eight methanol and aqueous extracts from Sudanese plants were screened for their inhibitory activity on viral replication. Nineteen extracts showed inhibitory effects on HIV-induced cytopathic effects (CPE) on MT-4 cells. The extracts were further screened against HIV-1 protease (PR) using an
In inducing immunodeficiency in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-l infection, a role for the HIV-1 Tat protein has been suggested. In addition to effects on viral transcription, the protein has been ascribed immunosuppressive functions, which were investigated in this study. Proliferation of purif
Ougi-Keishi-gomotsu-to, a traditional herbal medicine, is a representative drug for patients with abnormal sensation and pain in the legs in neuropathy. It was shown to have inhibitory effects on lipid peroxidation and protein oxidative modification by copper. The effects were similar to and stronge
The effects of the peptide inhibitor acetyl pepstatin on the structural stability of the HIV-1 protease have been measured by high sensitivity calorimetric techniques. At 25Β°C and pH 3.6, acetyl pepstatin binds to HIV-1 protease with an affinity of 1.6 Ψ 10 7 M -1 and an enthalpy of 7.3 Ψ 0.5 kcal/m
