title: Combinative interactions of a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) Tat antagonist with HIV reverse transcriptase inhibitors and an HIV protease inhibitor.
abstract: Combinations of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) Tat protein antagonist Ro 24-7429 with either the HIV protease inhibitor Ro 31-8959 or the HIV reverse transcriptase inhibitors AZT (3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine), ddC (2',3'-dideoxycytidine), ddI (2',3'-dideoxyinosine), and nevirapine were synergistic or additive in reducing HIV type 1 p24 antigen production in CEM cells or inhibiting HIV type 1-induced syncytium formation in HT4-6C cells.
