Polyanion-based microbicides have been developed to prevent the sexual transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
Recent data suggest that polyanions have the capacity to enhance HIV type 1 (HIV-1) replication at threshold antiviral concentrations.
Evaluation of the microbicide candidates SPL7013 and PRO 2000 revealed no specific enhancement of two CCR5 HIV-1 strains in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells compared to enfuvirtide (Fuzeon).
The enhancement effect is likely to be a function of the assay conditions and is not an intrinsic property of these polyanions.
To achieve better health for vulnerable communities in Australia and internationally by accelerating the translation of research, discovery and evidence into sustainable health solutions.
