title: Anti-AIDS agents. 46. Anti-HIV activity of harman, an anti-HIV principle from Symplocos setchuensis, and its derivatives.
abstract: Matairesinol (1) and harman (5), identified from Symplocos setchuensis, were found to inhibit HIV replication in H9 lymphocyte cells. Anti-HIV evaluation of 28 derivatives of 5 revealed that compound 19 showed potent activity with EC(50) and therapeutic index values of 0.037 microM and 210, respectively.
