L. Guo et al., INHIBITION OF GP120-CD4 INTERACTION AND HUMAN-IMMUNODEFICIENCY-VIRUS TYPE-1 INFECTION IN-VITRO BY PYRIDOXAL 5'-PHOSPHATE, Antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy, 38(10), 1994, pp. 2483-2487
Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate and related compounds were tested for their abi
lity to inhibit gp120-CD4 interaction and human immunodeficiency virus
infection in vitro. The results show that pyridoxal 5'-phosphate is a
unique CD4 antagonist whose antiviral potency derives from the presen
ce of both lysine-reactive and anionic substituents.
