Development of a platelet-activating factor antagonist for HIV-1 associated neurocognitive disorders

Abstract 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) format...

Zusammenfassung:Abstract 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.
