As set forth above the functionalized higher diamondoids of the present invention are expected to be useful in the treatment of viral infections, in particular HIV, as well as chemical intermediates and as materials of construction.
The present invention preferably provides a method of treatment of viral infections, in particular HIV,
Positive-strand RNA viruses include Retroviridae such as the viruses
causing human T-cell leukemia (HTLV-I and HTLV-II) and Acquired
Immunodeficiency Disease (AIDS) (HIV-1 and HIV-2). The HIV viruses have many characteristics of lentiviruses.
To measure the ability of higher diamondoids to inhibit viral infections, anti-HIVassays and virus neutralization assays may be utilized. Anti-HIV assays and virus neutralization assays are well known to those of skill in the art.
The MT-2 cell line can be successfully used as targets for HIV-1 infection and requires only 4 to 5 days for complete cytopathic effect (CPE).
