에이즈는 HIV$^{human immunodeficiency virus}$라는 바이러스에 의해 유발되므로 에이즈를 치료하기 위해서는 HIV를 우리 몸속에서 박멸하여야 한다. 1987년 AZT가 최초로 FDA의 공인을 받은 이래로 현재까지 여러 가지 약제들이 에이즈 치료에 사용되고 있다. 아직까지 HIV를 박멸하여 에이즈를 완치할 수 있는 치료제는 개발되지 않고 있으나 에이즈 치료제를 3가지 이상 복용하는 강력한 항레트로바이러스 요법highly active antiretroviral therapy, HAART을 시행함으로써 손상된 면역 기능을 회복시키고 기회감염을 줄여 좋은 효과를 보인다. 에이즈 치료제는 크게 세가지로 나눌 수 있다. 첫째는 뉴클레오사이드 역전사효소 억제제이고 둘째는 비뉴클레오사이드 역전사효소 억제제, 셋째는 단백분해효소 억제제이다. 현재 우리나라에서 사용되는 에이즈 치료제에 대해 알아보도록 하자.

Cryptosporidium parvum causes a life-threatening diarrhea in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients. THe sporozoite stage of C. parvum has been known to be a target in treating cryptosporidiosis in AIDS patients as it is an extracellular stage. A sporozoite was ultrastructurally observed. It has a creascent shape with a rounded posterior end and a tapering body. The compact nucleus was located at the posterior end. A monoclonal antibody was produced, which recognized a 43 kDa of sporozoite antigens in a western blot analysis and showed the surface labeling in immunofluorescence.

For screening of the antiviral agent from soil, about 520 strains of microorganisms were evaluated for their antiviral activity, About 6.9% of strains showed more than 95% antiviral activity against Herpes Simples Virus (HSV)-1. Two strains among 30 strains active against HSV-1 virus showed a quite strong activity against human immunodeficiency virus.

This study focuses on spatial/temporal relationship deaths caused by Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). Several studies have found links between these two diseases. By looking for clusters in mortality of Alcohol and HIV related deaths this study contributes to the field through the identification of exact spatial/temporal time of high and low occurrence risks based on the observed over the expected number of deaths. This study does not provide political or social interpretations of the data. It merely wants to show where clusters are found.

A peptide that inhibits HIV-1 protease was isolated from a hydrolysate of oyster (Crassostrea gigas) proteins digested with thermolysin. The peptide was using membrane filtration, gel permeation chromatography, ion exchange chromatography, and reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography. Amino acid sequence of the peptide was determined to be Val-Phe-Glu-Leu. Chemically synthesized Val-Phe-Glu-Leu showed an $IC_{50}$ value of 106 ${\mu}M$.

Two diterpenoid compounds, agastanol (1) and agastaquinone (2), were isolated from the roots of Agastache rugosa (Labiatae). Compound 1 and 2 showed significant inhibitory effects against human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) protease activity with $IC_{50}$ values of 360 and $87{\mu}M$, respectively.

Thirty ellagitannins originated from some Euphorbiaceous plants were tested for the inhibitory activities against AMV reverse transcriptase and replication of HIV-1 using syncytia forming assay. Most of ellagitannins showed strong inhibitory activities against AMV reverse transcriptase. Some ellagitannins including geraniin, mallotusinin, elaeocarpusin, euphorscopin and jolkianin, showed significant inhibitory activities of syncytia formation of supT1 cell line.

To examine components of Ganoderma lucidum for anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) activity, the aqueous extracts of its basidiocarps were separated into high-molecular-weight (HMF) and low-molecular-weight (LMF) fractions. These fractions were used in XTT [2,3-bis (2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl)-5-[(phenylamino) carbonyl]-2H-tetrazolium hydroxide] antiviral assay which can quantitatively measure cytopathic effects of HIV-1 on CEM, human T lymphoblastoid cell line. The CEM cell line added with serial diluted HMF or LMF was cultured in the absence or presence of HIV-1. The results showed that the LMF of the aqueous extract strongly inhibited cytopathic effect of the target cell induced by HIV-1. When two-fold serially diluted LMF ranging from $40.97{\mu}g/ml$4 to 125.00 .mu.g/ml was added to the virus-free culture system, no toxicity on the target cells was detected in all the concentrations tested. However, when it was added to the HIV-infected culture system, the viabilities of the target cell reached a plateau recovering its viabilities to 71.7% and 82.5% in experiment-1 and -2 at 15.60 .mu.g/ml, respectively. The cell viabilities were then gradually decreased but maintained at more than 50% above 31.20 .mu.g/ml concentration. On the contrary, HMF did not prevent any HIV-induced cytopathic effect at any concentrations tested on this cell line. From these results, negligible toxicities were observed by both HMF and LMF of G. luciolum, and recovery of cell viability in HIV infected target cell was induced only by LMF of the carpophores.

The V3 loop, a hypervariable domain of envelope glycoprotein, has an essential role in viral infectivity and has a major epitope for type-specific neutralizing antibody. In order to investigate genetic diversity of V3 region of gp120 of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) isolated from Korean patients, DNA sequences encoding the C2 to V3 region were amplified by nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from uncultured peripheral blood mononuclear cells obtained from 15 HIV-1 seropositive patients and nucleotide sequences were determined. All nucleotide sequences from fifteen patients were compared with 8 distinctive subtypes (A-H) and another subtype O. Phylogenetic analysis was carried out with PHYLIP ver 3.5 (Dnapars) program. Of the 15 isolates, 14 HIV-1 subjects were clustered with subtype B, while one was clustered with subtype C. Intra-subtype B distance at the nucleotide and deduced amino acid level were maximum 17.7% and 37.0%, respectively. Intra-patient distance at the nucleotide and deduced amino acid level were maximum 7.3% and 17.8%, respectively. Analysis of the nucleotide sequences revealed that Korean types have relatively well conserved sequences. These findings could be useful for assessing the source of infection and developing an AIDS vaccine.
