title: Inhibition of HIV replication by neuroleptic agents and their potential use in HIV infected patients with AIDS related dementia.
abstract: A series of neuroleptic agents and their structural isomers have been tested as inhibitors of HIV-replication. At non-toxic concentrations, cis (Z)- and trans (E)-flupentixol and several derivatives of the 5HT-uptake-inhibitors paroxetine and femoxetine, inhibit HIV-1 replication. The findings indicated that these compounds could be used in combination with other anti-retroviral therapy in HIV-1 infected patients with AIDS-related dementia.
