The neuroregulatory activities of PMS-601, a platelet activating factor antagonist, were investigated in laboratory and animal models of HIV-1 encephalitis (HIVE). For the former, PMS-601 reduced monocyte-derived macrophage pro-inflammatory secretions, multinucleated giant cell (MGC) formation, and neuronal loss independent of antiretroviral responses. PMS-601 treatment of HIVE severe combined immunodeficient mice showed reduced microgliosis, MGCs and neurodegeneration. These observations support the further development of PMS-601 as an adjunctive therapy for HIV-1 associated neurocognitive disorders.
血小板活化因子拮抗剂PMS-601的神经调节活性在HIV-1脑炎(HIVE)的实验室和动物模型中进行了研究。对于前者,PMS-601可减少单核细胞衍生的巨噬细胞促炎分泌物、多核巨细胞(MGC)形成和神经元损失,且与抗逆转录病毒反应无关。PMS-601治疗HIVE严重联合免疫缺陷小鼠可减少小胶质细胞增生、MGC和神经变性。这些观察结果支持将PMS-601进一步开发为HIV-1相关神经认知障碍的辅助治疗方法。
