Inhibition of tat-mediated HIV-1-LTR transactivation and virus replication by sulfhydryl compounds with chelating properties.

Abstract:

:D-Penicillamine, a structural analog of cysteine, has the ability to chelate metal ions and reacts with cysteine. We have shown earlier that D-Penicillamin is a potential inhibitor of tat-mediated transactivation of HIV-1-LTR (14) and possesses anti-HIV-1 activity (23). Following this approach, we evaluated the anti-tat and anti-HIV-1 activity of several sulfhydryl compounds with chelating properties. The tested compounds: N-(2-Mercapto-propionyl)-glycin (MPG), 2,3-Dimercapto-propanol (DMP) and 2,3-Dimercapto-propane-sulfonic acid (DMPS) exhibited an inhibitory effect on the tat-mediated transactivation in Jurkat cells, as well as in U937 cells. The highest inhibitory response was shown by DMP leading to about 50% inhibition of transactivation in Jurkat cels and an 80% inhibition in U937 cells. On the contrary, DMPS (30 micrograms/ml) had no inhibitory effect in U937 cells, but did exhibit a 50% inhibition of transactivation in Jurkat cells at 30 micrograms/ml. The antiviral activity of DMP and DMPS was evaluated in H9 cells. In the concentration range which is effective for antiviral effect, both the compounds were highly cytotoxic. Mercapto-propionyl-glycin, although a weak inhibitor of transactivation, was able to inhibit synctia formation to more than 90% and inhibit the viral antigene expression to about 70%. The concentration of MPG needed to achieve this antiviral effect was very high, but it had no cytotoxicity at this concentration. We suggest that a search for compounds using this approach may be useful in developing potential inhibitors of tat-mediated transactivation.
