title: Inhibition of HIV-1 integration protein by aurintricarboxylic acid monomers, monomer analogs, and polymer fractions.
abstract: Several aurintricarboxylic acid (ATA) monomers, monomer analogs, and polymer fractions have been tested as inhibitors of HIV-1 integration protein (IN). Both of the ATA monomers and all of the ATA polymer fractions inhibited a selective DNA cleavage reaction catalyzed by IN. The ATA monomer analogs were inactive or had low activity. The activities of the substances as inhibitors of HIV IN correlated in a positive way with their activities as inhibitors of the cytopathic effect of HIV-1 in CEM and HIV-2 in MT4 cells. These results suggest that inhibition of HIV IN may contribute to the antiviral activity of the ATA monomers and monomer analogs in cell culture.
