Beschreibung
Activation of latent reservoirs of HIV-
infected cells is a treatment strategy designed to reduce viral load and eliminate the perpetuation of retroviral infection. Prostratin is a non-
tumor promoting phorbol ester that potently induces HIV-
1 reactivation in latent reservoirs of infected Jurkat-
LAT-
GFP cells with an IC
50 value of ~0.5 μM. Originally, prostratin was isolated from plant sources including
P. prostrata,
E. cornigera, and
H. nutans. The effects of prostratin are mediated through activation of NF-
κB
via protein kinase C and by downregulation of HIV-
1 receptor CD4 expression and its co-
receptors CXCR4 and CCR5.
