title: Inhibition of gp120-CD4 interaction and human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infection in vitro by pyridoxal 5'-phosphate.
abstract: Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate and related compounds were tested for their ability to inhibit gp120-CD4 interaction and human immunodeficiency virus infection in vitro. The results show that pyridoxal 5'-phosphate is a unique CD4 antagonist whose antiviral potency derives from the presence of both lysine-reactive and anionic substituents.
