Rifabutin (ansamycin; LM427), a semisynthetic rifamycin derivative, inhibits the replication of human immunodeficiency virus type 1, the virus etiologically linked to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. The inhibition of virus production was observed in human immunodeficiency virus type 1-infected peripheral blood mononuclear cells both by reverse transcriptase assay and virus-antigen assay. In addition, rifabutin effectively reduced human immunodeficiency virus type 1-associated cytopathic effect to OKT4-positive cells. Virion-associated reverse transcriptase was also markedly inhibited by rifabutin. The inhibitory dose of rifabutin was nontoxic to lymphoid cells, which further suggests that it might serve as a useful agent in the therapeutic modalities of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

D006678 HIV Human immunodeficiency virus. A non-taxonomic and historical term referring to any of two species, specifically HIV-1 and/or HIV-2. Prior to 1986, this was called human T-lymphotropic virus type III/lymphadenopathy-associated virus (HTLV-III/LAV). From 1986-1990, it was an official species called HIV. Since 1991, HIV was no longer considered an official species name; the two species were designated HIV-1 and HIV-2.
