ADS-J1 is an HIV-1 entry inhibitor that potently inhibits seminal amyloid fibrillization and block fibril-mediated enhancement of viral infection. Semen-derived amyloid fibrils, comprising SEVI (semen-derived enhancer of viral infection) fibrils and SEM1 fibrils, may remarkably enhance HIV-1 sexual transmission and are potential targets for the development of an effective microbicide.
DJ101is an effective and metabolically stable inhibitor of tubulin. It can circumvent the drug efflux pumps responsible for multidrug resistance of existing tubulin inhibitors.
