We assessed the anti-human immunodeficiency virus (anti-HIV)
activity in vitro of new platelet-activating factor (PAF) receptor antagonists, as PAF and viral replication are thought to be involved in
HIV neuropathogenesis. We found that PMS-601 inhibited proinflammatory cytokine synthesis and HIV replication in macrophages and
potentiated the antiretroviral activity of zidovudine. These results
suggest that PMS-601 is of potential value as an adjuvant treatment for HIV infection.
