  • Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) protease is essential for the replication of the virus and it is therefore an attractive target for antiviral drugs of HIV-1. Several dipeptide isosteres containing 2-isoxazoline or $\alpha$-hydroxy ketomethylene have been synthesized and their inhibitory effects on the HIV-1 protease examined. The enzymatically active HIV-1 protease was purified to homogeniety from E. coli transformed with a recombinant plasmid (pMAL-pro) containing the entire gene encoding the protease. The purified protease had the substrate specificity with Km value of 9.8$\mu$M when an undecapeptide His-Lys-Ala-Arg-Val-Leu-(p-nitro)Phe-Glu-Ala-Nle-Ser-amide was used as a substrate, and the products from the substrate after specific cleavage by HIV-1 protease were analyzed by HPLC. The synthetic compounds containing dipeptide isosteres showed specific inhibitory effects while a dipeptide isostere containing an isoxazoline ring inhibited the HIV-1 protease competitively with Ki value of 500 $\mu$M. Even if the inhibition effects of HIV-1 protease were not very high, these novel dipeptide isosteres can be used as key structural moieties for developing specific inhibitors of HIV-1 protease.

  • For the elucidation of action mechanism on anti-HIV of natural resources, the extracts of $Campsis$ $grandiflora$ were tested for their inhibitory effects on HIV-1 replication and its essential enzymes as the reverse transcriptase (RT), protease and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase. In the assay of HIV-1-infected human T-cell line, water extracts of stem inhibited the HIV-1-induced cytopathic effects with IC (inhibitory concentration) of 100 ${\mu}g$/ml. Moreover water extracts (100 ${\mu}g$/ml) of stem showed strong activity of 37.9% on anti-HIV-1 RT using Enzyme Linked Oligonucleotide Sorbent Assay (ELOSA) method. In the HIV-1 protease inhibition assay, methanol extracts of stem and leaf extract showed 33.6% and 31.5% inhibition of the enzyme activity to cleave an oligopeptide resembling one of the cleavage sites in the viral polyprotein which can only be processed by HIV-1 protease, but did not exhibited glucosidase inhibitory activities. From these results, it is suggested that the inhibition of the viral replication $in$ $vitro$ is due to the inhibition of reverse transcriptase by water extracts of stem of $Campsis$ $grandiflora$.

  • Objectives : For the purpose of developing new anti-HIV agents from natural sources, the extracts of Actinidia arguta were tested for their inhibitory effects on essential enzymes as the reverse transcriptase (RT), protease and ${\alpha}-\;glucosidase$. And we predicted inhibition activity of major compounds of Actinidia arguta using Quantitative Structure Activity Relationships (QSAR). Methods : In this assay the activity of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase is measured as the formation of a strand of copy-DNA (cDNA) using RNA as a template. The activity of HIV-1 protease is measured as the cleavage of an oligopeptide by HIV-1 protease. Results : In the anti-HIV-1 RT using Enzyme Linked Oligonucleotide Sorbent Assay (ELOSA) method, water extracts (100ug/ml) of stem and leaf showed strong activity of 93.9% and 91.9%, respectively. In the HIV-1 protease inhibition assay, aqueous stem extract inhibited the activity of the enzyme to cleave an oligopeptide, resembling one of the cleavage sites in the viral polyprotein which can only be processed by HIV-1 protease with 56.8%. In the ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ inhibition assay, aqueous stem extract showed activity of 73.1%. Conclusion : We found out this result, for these samples it is possible that the inhibition of the viral replication in vitro is due to the inhibition at least one of RT and ${\alpha}-glucosidase$. It would be of great interest to identify the compounds which are responsible for this inhibition, since all therapeutically useful agent up to date are RT, PR and ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ inhibitors.

  • HIV-1 protcase 를 이용한 in vitro assay system을 개발하기 위하여HIV-1 protease유전자를 Ecoli 발현 벡터를 이용하여 발현시켰다. 가능성있는 Protease유전자의 생간 및 분래를 용이하게 하기위하여 maltose binding protein 의 fusion protein을 이용하였으며 protease 의 autoprocessing을 maltose binding protein 의 polyclonal 항체로 확인하였다, 발현된 protease는 일련의 chromatography 방법 (DEAE, SE cellulose, Superose 12, Mono S) 으로 순수하게 분리되었다. 정제된 protease 는 SDS-PAGE분석으로 단일밴드를 보여주었고, 합성된 undecapeptide를 기질로 하였을때 Km 이 9.8$\mu$M 이었다. 효소 assay 를 위해 기질이 protease 에 의해 절단된 생성물을 HPLC를 사용하여 분석하였다. Protease의 억제제 탐색을 위해 유기합성한 몇개의 기질유사체와 HIV-1 증식을 억제하는 것으로 알려진 천연물의 억제정도를 조사하여 보았다. 이들 test 에 사용한 물질들은 높은 농도에서 protease 의 활성을 저해하는 것으로 보아 좋은 억제제는 아닌것으로 시료되나 본 연구를 통하여 확립된 in vitro assay system 은 추후에도 억제제 탐색을 위하여 계속 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

  • Continuous efforts are being made to find effective therapeutic agents against HIV-1, the causative agents of AIDS. In this study, we developed a cell-based assay system employing a trans-complementation for production of recombinant viruses which are capable of undergoing one round of replication in CD4+ T cells. This assay system was tested for ability to screen the agents that act at late stage of HIV-1 life cycle. The effect of a protease inhibitor on the trans-complementation assay was assessed. Recombinant HIV-1 viruses were prepared from a trans-complementation in the presence of various concentrations of protease inhibitor. Inhibition of single round infection of these recombinant viruses by protease inhibitor was observed to be a dose-dependent manner. Inhibitory effects of a protease inhibitor on HIV-1 Gag polyprotein processing by HIV-1 protease was detected at concentrations of the protease inhibitor compatible with inhibition of virus infection, confirming that the corresponding step was involved in the inhibitory mechanism of this compound. Together, these results provide evidence that a cell-based assay system established in this study can be used to screen the agents that target the late stage of HIV-1 life cycle.

  • Korean medicinal plants were screened for their inhibitory activity against HIV-1 protease. The inhibitory activity of protease was determined by incubating the extracts in reaction mixtures containing protease and substrate $His-Lys-Ala-Arg-Val-Leu-(p-NO_{2}-Phe)-Glu-Ala-Nle-Ser-NH_{2}$ to perform proteolytic cleavage reactions. In this study the twenty six extracts from medicinal plants were investigated. Of the extracts tested, the extracts from the stem of Morus alba. exhibited the strongest activity with inhibition of 81% at a concentration of $100{\mu}g/ml$. The extracts of the flower of Saxjfraga stolonifera, and stems of Euonymus japonica and Castanea crenata showed appreciable inhibitory activity (>50%) against HIV-1 protease at same concentration.

  • In this study, we conducted the anti-HIV-1 enzymes assay in vitro and its active components were predicted by QSAR in silico for the elucidation of action mechanism on anti-HIV of natural resources. The extracts of Gardenia jasminoides var. radicans Makino were tested for their inhibitory effects on the reverse transcriptase (RT), protease and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase. In the enzyme inhibition assay, the methanol extracts of Gardenia jasminoides var. radicans Makino stem showed a strong activity of 32.5% on the enzyme activity to cleave an oligopeptide, resembling one of the cleavage sites in the viral polyprotein which can only be processed by HIV-1 protease. Moreover the methanol extracts of stem exhibited alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activities of 26.1%. The methanol extracts ($100{\mu}g/ml$) of stem showed a weak activity of 13.4% on anti-HIV-1 RT using Enzyme Linked Oligonucleotide Sorbent Assay (ELOSA) method. However, all extracts of leaf and stem didn't exhibit the HIV-1-induced cytopathic effects with IC (inhibitory concentration) of $100{\mu}g/ml$ in HIV-1-infected human T-cell line. From these results, it is suggested that Gardenia jasminoides var. radicans Makino extracts may possibly be involved in the inhibition of reverse transcriptase, protease and alpha-glucosidase but can't vitally concerned with the viral replication in vitro.

  • For the purpose of developing new anti-HIV agents from natural sources, the extracts of Kalopanax pictus were tested for their inhibitory effects on HIV-1 replication and its essential enzymes as the reverse transcriptase (RT). protease and α-glucosidase. In the assay of HIV-1-infected human T-cell line, water extracts of stem and leafstalk inhibited the HIV-1-induced cytopathic effects with Ie (inhibitory concentration) of 25 and 50㎍/㎖, respectively. Moreover water extracts (100㎍/㎖) of stem and leafstalk showed strong activity of 80% and 90% on anti-HIV-1 RT using Enzyme Linked Oligonucleotide Sorbent Assay (ELOSA) method. In the HIV-1 protease inhibition assay, aqueous stem extract inhibited the activity of the enzyme to cleave an oligopeptide, resembling one of the cleavage sites in the viral polyprotein which can only be processed by HIV-1 protease with 58%, but no glucosidase inhibitory activities. We found out this result, for these samples it is possible that the inhibition of the viral replication in vitro is due to the inhibition at least one of RT and protease. It would be of great interest to identify the compounds which are responsible for this inhibition, since all therapeutically useful agent up to date are RT, PR and α-glucosidase inhibitors.
