HIV-EP1 is a C2H2 type zinc finger proteinwhich binds to DNA kappa B site present in the long terminal repeat of HIV provirus. Previously we have reported zincchelators having histidine--pyridine--histidine skeleton and were successful in inhibiting the DNA binding of HIV-EP1 by removing zinc from the zinc finger domain. Aiming at the potentiation of the inhibitory activity of our previous zinc chelators
