Structure−Activity Relationships in Platelet-Activating Factor. 12. Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Platelet-Activating Factor Antagonists with Anti-HIV-1 Activity
The HIV-1 central nervous system infection leads to the onset of neurological impairments called AIDS dementia complex (ADC). PAF plays an important role in this pathology, as it is an HIV-1-induced neurotoxin produced by infected or activated macrophages and microglia, in the brain. We previously reported that PAF-antagonists bearing a trisubstituted piperazine presented in vitro anti-HIV-1 activity
