Chloropeptins I and II, which are gp120-CD4 binding inhibitors, were isolated as pale yellow-brown powders from the mycelia of a soil actinomycete, Streptomyces sp, WK-3419. Their physico-chemical properties showed that they are chlorinated peptides. Chloropeptin I (C61H45N7O15Cl6) is a novel compound, but chloropeptin II was identified as complestatin. Both compounds inhibited gp120-CD4 binding (IC50: 1.3 and 2.0 microM, respectively), the cytopathic effect of HIV in MT-4 cells (EC50: 1.6 and 1.7 microM, respectively) and syncytium formation in co-cultured HIV-1-infected and uninfected MOLT-4 cells (IC50. 0.5 and 1.1 microM, respectively). Chloropeptin I was synergistic in the inhibition of the cytopathic effect when combined with other anti-HIV drugs such as zidovudine (AZT), didanosine (ddI), zalcitabine (ddC) and nevirapine.

D013302 Streptomyces A genus of bacteria that form a nonfragmented aerial mycelium. Many species have been identified with some being pathogenic. This genus is responsible for producing a majority of the ANTI-BACTERIAL AGENTS of practical value.
D015215 Zidovudine A dideoxynucleoside compound in which the 3'-hydroxy group on the sugar moiety has been replaced by an azido group. This modification prevents the formation of phosphodiester linkages which are needed for the completion of nucleic acid chains. The compound is a potent inhibitor of HIV replication, acting as a chain-terminator of viral DNA during reverse transcription. It improves immunologic function, partially reverses the HIV-induced neurological dysfunction, and improves certain other clinical abnormalities associated with AIDS. Its principal toxic effect is dose-dependent suppression of bone marrow, resulting in anemia and leukopenia.

D015496 CD4-Positive T-Lymphocytes A critical subpopulation of T-lymphocytes involved in the induction of most immunological functions. The HIV virus has selective tropism for the T4 cell which expresses the CD4 phenotypic marker, a receptor for HIV. In fact, the key element in the profound immunosuppression seen in HIV infection is the depletion of this subset of T-lymphocytes.
