Integration of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) DNA into the human genome requires the virus-encoded integrase (IN) protein, and therefore the IN is a suitable target for antiviral strategies. Recently we tested novel natural origin triterpene derivatives (glycyrrhizic and betulinic acids), as inhibitors of recombinant HIV-1 integrase in vitro using traditional oligonucleotide duplex substrate (21 bp), which mimic the retroviral ends. The obtained results show that among seven compounds tested three derivatives inhibit recombinant HIV-1 integrase in the 3’-processing reaction with IC50: glucopyranosyl derivative of glycyrrhizic acid (GlGA)- 37 microM, gamma-amino acid derivative of betulonic acid (N-BA) – 0,4 microM, betulonic acid dipeptide (BAdP) – 0,17 microM. Also these analogues inhibit HIV-1 strain BRU replication on viral infected cell (MT-4) at nontoxic concentrations with IC50: GlGA – 3,1 .10-9 M, N-BA 1,3 .10-6 M, BAdP - 2,6 .10-9 M, and with IS: GlGA – 8887, N-BA - 25, BAdP - 2135. These results suggest that the study of inhibitor’s activity against HIV-1 integrase and more detail investigation of different modifications’ influence on the biological capabilities of natural triterpenes derivatives would allow direct design and creation of new antiviral drugs.
