In search for effective human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) transcription inhibitors, we have evaluated more than 100,000 compounds for their inhibitory effects on HIV-1 long terminal repeat (LTR)-driven reporter gene expression, and identified a novel naphthalene derivative, JTK-101. This compound could suppress tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha-induced HIV-1 production in latently infected OM-10.1 cells at nanomolar concentrations. JTK-101 could also potently inhibit constitutive HIV-1 production in MOTL-4/IIIB. However, the antiviral activity of JTK-101 was found to be much weaker in acutely infected cells and the chronically infected cells U937/IIIB cells than in OM-10.1 and MOLT-4/IIIB cells. JTK-101 selectively suppressed TNF-alpha-induced HIV-1 mRNA synthesis in OM-10.1 cells in a dose-dependent fashion. JTK-101 modestly inhibited TNF-alpha-induced HIV-1 LTR-driven reporter gene expression, but potently inhibited Tat-induced gene expression. Immunoblot analysis revealed that low-level expression of the Tat cofactors CDK9 and cyclin T1 might contribute to the diminished antiviral activity in U937/IIIB cells. Furthermore, JTK-101 could not inhibit HIV-1 replication in chronically infected monocytes/macrophages, in which CDK9 and cyclin T1 were undetectable. These results suggest that JTK-101 exerts its anti-HIV-1 activity through the inhibition of known or unknown Tat cofactors, presumably CDK9/cyclin T1.

D014409 Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha Serum glycoprotein produced by activated MACROPHAGES and other mammalian MONONUCLEAR LEUKOCYTES. It has necrotizing activity against tumor cell lines and increases ability to reject tumor transplants. Also known as TNF-alpha, it is only 30% homologous to TNF-beta (LYMPHOTOXIN), but they share TNF RECEPTORS.
