Biological evaluation of their HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitory activities was performed using Nevirapine （NVP） as a reference compound. Among the series, compound 7d shows the highest reverse transcriptase inhibitory activity, which is better than Nevirapine.展开更多

The unique feature of RT1 is all degrees of freedom (DOF) are actuated with only one motor via special designed hinge bar universal joints. The mechanisms of RT1 are introduced in detail. Some experiments are carried out in order to test the movability and adaptability of the manipulator. RT1 is actuated by pulse string and acts discretely. The discrete working space of RT1 is described and the parameter optimization for kinematical redundancy resolution is studied also. The optimization criterion is altering the design parameter as little as possible during manipulator's motion from the initial position to the expected position. An optimization example is given that is realized with Matlab optimize tool-box.展开更多

The activity of reverse transcriptase （RT） in the supematant of cell cultures of different lots of experiments were then assayed accordingly, and the toxicity effect on human lymphocytic cells MT4 was measured by MTT assay. The experimental results showed that pre-incubation of HNP-1 with the concentrated stock of vires could block the binding of vires to target cells with EC50 of 2.49 μg/ml, while pre-treatment of CD4^＋ cells with HNP- 1 prior to inoculation could reduce the ability of cells to bind vires with EC50 of 20.7 μg/ml. In addition, When culturing the infected CD4^＋ cells in the continuous presence of various concentrations of HNP-1 added immediately after infection, HNP-1 exhibited modest inhibitory effect on viral replication with reduced RT activities in comparison with those of the control group （ P 〈 0.05 at 100 μg/ml of the highest concentration） . No cytotoxieity effect of HNP-1 was observed as demonstrated by MTT assay. These results indicate that HNP-1 exerts anti-HIV activity by at least two levels： direct inactivation of vires particles and effect on the ability of target cells to bind with viruses. The evaluation of two parameters, inhibitoty effect and the cytotoxicity renders HNP-1 an available candidate for anti-HIV therapeutic agent.展开更多
