Patent number: 9695127Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of a compound capable of treating HIV. In particular disclosed embodiments, the compound is capable of inhibiting Nef, such as by acting as antagonists of HIV Nef function. Also disclosed are embodiments of a method of making the compound, embodiments of a method of using the compound, and embodiments of a method of identifying HIV Nef antagonists. The disclosed compound may be used alone or in combination with other pharmacologically active agents in order to promote reducing drug resistance and/or cumulative toxicity.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2013Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignee: University of Pittsburgh—Of the Commonwealth System of Higher EducationInventors: Thomas E. Smithgall, Lori Ann Emert-Sedlak, Billy W. Day, Jielu Zhao, Prema Chandrasekhar Iyer

Publication number: 20140128388Abstract: Drug candidates for inhibition of HIV-1 replication can target Src family kinases (SFK), such as Hck, that interact with Nef protein of the virus. Compounds characterized by such inhibitory activity were identified via an assay for kinase activity of an SFK in a Nef:SFK complex. Illustrative of inhibitors identified using the kinase assay are various 2,3-diaminoquinaxolines and furo[2,3-d]pyrimidines. The inventive inhibitors were found to arrest HIV-1 viral replication in vitro.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2013Publication date: May 8, 2014Applicant: University of Pittsburgh - Of the Commonwealth System of Higher EducationInventors: Lori Emert-Sedlak, Toshiaki Kodama, Billy W. Day, Weixiang Dai, Ronald P. Trible, Thomas E. Smithgall
