Inhibition of human T-cell lymphotropic virus type III in vitro by phosphonoformate. 1985

E G Sandstrom, and J C Kaplan, and R E Byington, and M S Hirsch

Phosphonoformate, an inhibitor of reverse transcriptase in a number of retroviruses, was shown to have a dose-related inhibitory effect on human T-cell lymphotropic virus type III (HTLV-III) replication in the H9 cell line in vitro. HTLV-III replication was eliminated at a concentration of 680 mumol, a non-cytotoxic dose. A lower dose of 132 mumol inhibited HTLV-III replication by more than 98%, as measured by reverse transcriptase activity, compared with untreated infected cultures. Reverse transcriptase activity in HTLV-III particles was completely inhibited by 5.0 mumol phosphonoformate.
