Abstract

The AIDS epidemic continues to spread at an alarming rate worldwide, especially in developing countries. One approach to solving this problem is the generation of anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) compounds with inhibition spectra broad enough to include globally prevailing forms of the virus. We have examined the HIV type 1 (HIV-1) envelope specificity of a recently identified entry inhibitor candidate, HNG-105, using surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy and pseudovirus inhibition assays. The combined results suggest that the HNG-105 molecule may be effective across the HIV-1 subtypes, and they highlight its potential as a lead for developing therapeutic and microbicidal agents to help combat the spread of AIDS.
