ABSTRACT
To evaluate the inhibitive effect of plant protein MAP30 (momordica anti-HIV protein of 30kDa), AZT (3′-azido-2′,3′-dideoxythymidine) , ACV (acyclovir) and IFN-?2a (interferon-?2a) against HIV-1 in vitro, MT4 was used as the target cell and the inhibitive effects of these drugs on HIV-1 P24 expression were investigated by ELISA. The inhibitory effect of these drugs on HIV-1-induced cytopathy was also evaluated. The 50% inhibition concentration (IC 50) of MAP30 was 0.9?mol/L. In comparison, the IC 50 for AZT , a commonly used anti-HIV drug, was 0.7?mol/L. The cytopathic effect induced by HIV-1 was also inhibited by MAP30 and AZT. ACV and IFN-?2a showed little effect on HIV-1. All these results strongly indicated that plant protein MAP30 could obviously inhibit HIV-1 replication in vitro.
