Novel agents show promise as anti-HIV compounds Reuters Health Compounds called pyridine oxide derivatives not only have the ability to inhibit HIV replication in a test tube, they also interfere with viral gene expression, according to the latest research from a team that has been studying these novel compounds. It may be possible that these new agents could control the ability of HIV to reproduce in both early and later stages of the illness, and may even make the virus enter a dormant state, Dr. Jan Balzarini, Dr. Miguel Stevens, and others from the Rega Institute for Medical Research in Leuven, Belgium suggest.
