Methods of administering prostratin and structural analogs thereof

摘要

This invention relates generally to methods for administering prostratin or a structural analog or metabolite thereof to induce latent HIV-1 expression in mammalian cells. In certain embodiments, prostratin or a structural analog or metabolite thereof is administered by infusion. In an exemplary embodiment, the method of administering prostratin or a structural analog or metabolite thereof to induce latent HIV-1 expression further comprises the step of administering HAART. The invention also relates to kits comprising prostratin or a structural analog or metabolite thereof packaged with instructions for infusing the compound to induce latent HIV-1 expression.
