Clinical development of microbicides for the prevention of HIV infection.
The HIV/AIDS pandemic continues its spread at a rate of over 15,000 new infections every day. Sexual transmission of HIV-1 is the dominant mode of this pandemic spread. For the first time since the… Expand
Metvan: a novel oxovanadium(IV) complex with broad spectrum anticancer activity
Among the 25 bis(cyclopentadienyl)vanadium(IV) and 14 oxovanadium(IV) compounds synthesised and evaluated for anticancer activity, bis(4,7-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline) sulfatooxovanadium(IV)… Expand

In a systematic effort to identify a potent anticancer agent, we synthesized 15 oxovanadium(IV) complexes and examined their cytotoxic activity against 14 different human cancer cell lines. The… Expand
A Study of the Potential of the Pig as a Model for the Vaginal Irritancy of Benzalkonium Chloride in Comparison to the Nonirritant Microbicide PHI-443 and the Spermicide Vanadocene Dithiocarbamate
A porcine model was established to test the mucosal toxicity potential of a thiophene thiourea (PHI-443)-based anti-HIV microbicide and a vanadocene-based spermicide, vanadocene dithiocarbamate… Expand

ABSTRACT WHI-07 [5-bromo-6-methoxy-5,6-dihydro-3′-azidothymidine-5′-(p-bromophenyl)-methoxy alaninyl phosphate] is a novel dual-function aryl phosphate derivative of zidovudine with potent anti-human… Expand
Human sperm immobilizing activity of aminophenyl arsenic acid and its N-substituted quinazoline, pyrimidine, and purine derivatives: protective effect of glutathione.
We examined the potential toxicity of pentavalent organic arsenicals for human sperm. We used computer-assisted sperm analysis to examine the effects of three aminophenyl arsenicals and their nine… Expand
Novel tight binding PETT, HEPT and DABO-based non-nucleoside inhibitors of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase
Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitors (NNRTIs) are a key component of effective combination antiretroviral therapies for HIV/AIDS. NNRTIs despite their chemical diversity, bind to a… Expand
