title: Synthesis and anti-HIV activity of new urea and nitrosourea derivatives of diamino acids.
abstract: A series of N1-methyl,N1-allyl,N1-(2-chloroethyl) and N1-propargyl urea and nitrosourea derivatives of diamino acids (L-ornithine and L-lysine) was synthesized and was shown to have weak activity in counteracting the cytopathic effects of the HIV-1 on a T4 lymphocyte cell line (CEM-IW). However, selected compounds may possess some immunomodulatory activity.
