TY - JOUR AU1 - Pagano, Paul J. AU2 - Chong, Kong-Teck AB - Delavirdine (bisheteroarylpiperazine, U-90152), a nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), was evaluated in a two-drug combination with recombinant human interferon-a (IFN-α) or the peptidomimetic protease inhibitor U-75875 against HIV-l replication in vitro. Viral growth was assayed in a CD4+ T cell line (H9) infected with HIVIIIB and in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells infected with the clinical isolate HIVJRCSF . Drug synergy, estimated by the combination index method and the method of Pritchard and Shipman, was observed when delavirdine was combined with U-75875 or IFN-α over a range of drug concentrations (delavirdine: 0.001, 0.003, 0.01, 0.03 µM ; U-75875: 0.01, 0.03,0.1,0.3, 1.0 µM ; IFN-α: 2,6, 17, and 50 or 10,30, 100, and 300 IU/mL). The combinations showed no detectable drug antagonism or cytotoxicity. These in vitro synergy data support the potential use of delavirdine with either a protease inhibitor or IFN-α in patients with AIDS.
