Lamellarin a and six different types of lamellarin alpha 20-sulfate analogues were synthesized and their structure-activity relationships were investigated using a single round HIV-1 vector infection assay. All lamellarin sulfates having pentacyclic lamellarin core exhibited anti-HIV-1 activity at a 10 mu M concentration range regardless of the number and position of the sulfate group. On the other hand, non-sulfated lamellarin alpha and ring-opened lamellarin sulfate analogues did not affect HIV-1 vector infection in similar concentrations. The lamellarin sulfates utilized in this study did not exhibit unfavorable cytotoxic effect under the concentrations tested (IC50 > 100 mu M). Confocal laser scanning microscopic analysis indicated that hydrophilic lamellarin sulfates were hardly incorporated in the cell. HIV-1 Env-mediated cell-cell fusion was suppressed by lamellarin sulfates. These results suggested that lamellarin sulfates have a novel anti-HIV-1 activity besides the previously reported integrase activity inhibition, possibly at a viral entry step of HIV-1 replication.
