Methods and compositions containing a phorbol ester or a derivative of a phorbol ester are provided for the treatment of cytopathic diseases. Cytopathic diseases may be caused by a variety means such as viral infections like HIV and AIDS, or the development of neoplasms in a mammalian subject. The methods and compositions of the invention are effective for inhibiting de novo HIV infection, upregulating viral expression from latent provirus, inhibiting HIV-induced cytopathic effects, down regulating the HIV receptor, increasing Thl cytokine expression, decreasing Th2 cytokine expression, increasing ERK phosphorylation, inducing apoptosis in malignant cells, inducing remission, maintaining remission, as chemotherapeutic agents, as well as for decreasing symptoms of cytopathic diseases and opportunistic infections that may accompany such diseasesl. Additional compositions and methods are provided which employ a phorbol ester or derivative compound in combination with at least one additional agent such as those used in HAART protocols, therapeutic agents used to treat opportunistic infections due to HIV, or chemotherapeutic agents to yield more effective treatment tools against cytopathic diseases in mammalian subjects.
本发明提供了含有植物醇酯或植物醇酯衍生物的方法和组合物,用于治疗细胞病理疾病。细胞病理疾病可由多种途径引起,如艾滋病毒和艾滋病等病毒感染,或哺乳动物体内肿瘤的发展。本发明的方法和组合物对于抑制新的 HIV 感染、上调潜伏前病毒的病毒表达、抑制 HIV 诱导的细胞病理效应、下调 HIV 受体、增加 Thl 细胞因子表达、减少 Th2 细胞因子表达、增加 ERK 磷酸化、诱导恶性细胞凋亡、诱导缓解、维持缓解、作为化疗药物以及减少细胞病理疾病症状和可能伴随此类疾病的机会性感染l 均有效。本研究还提供了其他组合物和方法,这些组合物和方法采用了一种抗坏血酸酯或衍生物化合物与至少一种额外的制剂结合使用,如HAART方案中使用的制剂、用于治疗HIV引起的机会性感染的治疗制剂或化疗制剂,以产生针对哺乳动物体内细胞病理疾病的更有效的治疗工具。
