Activation of latent reservoirs of HIV-
The Uses of Prostratin, PKC activator
It is a protein kinase C activator found in the bark of the mamala tree of Samoa, Homalanthus nutans (Euphorbiaceae). Research indicated that prostratin has potential to be useful in the treatment of HIV as it flushes viral reservoirs in latently infected CD4+ T-cells.
The Uses of Prostratin, PKC activator
Activation of latent reservoirs of HIV-infected cells is a treatment strategy designed to reduce viral load and eliminate the perpetuation of retroviral infection. Prostratin is a non-tumor promoting phorbol ester that potently induces HIV-1 reactivation in latent reservoirs of infected Jurkat-LAT-GFP cells . [Cayman Chemical]
What are the applications of Application
Prostratin is a PKC (Protein Kinase C) activator and potential HIV infection inhibitor that does not induce tumor formation.
Definition
ChEBI: A natural product found in Euphorbia fischeriana.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Prostratin, an unusual non-tumorigenic phorbol ester, is an activator of protein kinase C (PKC) and also an activator of nuclear factor KB (NF-KB) mediated through activation of the IKKs (IKB kinases). Prostratin exhibits potent in vitro activity by inducing HIV expression in latently infected cell lines and primary cells, thus antagonizing HIV latency. Activation of PKC and NF-kB has been proposed as the mechanism of action. Prostratin also inhibits HIV entry into target cells by down-regulating CD4 and CXCR4 receptors.
