The buccal mucosal route offers several advantages but the delivery of certain drugs can be limited by low membrane permeability. This study investigated the buccal permeability properties of didanosine (ddI) and assessed the potential of Aloe vera gel (AVgel) as
Idiopathic noncirrhotic portal hypertension (INCPH) has been reported increasingly in patients with HIV infection. To evaluate the number of nationwide diagnosed HIV-associated INCPH cases and to assess its clinical features, risk factors and outcome. All HIV centres in the Netherlands
Genetic predisposition to dideoxynucleoside-induced mitochondrial dysfunction might be related to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) polymorphisms. Severe hyperlactataemia is probably the best model to assess such a predisposition. For this exploratory study in White European and Black African HIV-infected adults, hypervariable region
In our search for potent anti-HIV and antiplasmodial agents, novel series of flavonoid derivatives and their chalcone intermediates were synthesized and evaluated for inhibition of HIV multiplication and antiproliferative activity on Plasmodium falciparum parasites. Chalcones exhibited a more selective antiplasmodial

A series of novel thiazolidin-4-ones bearing a lipophilic adamantyl substituent at position 2 or 3 were synthesized. A majority of them showed a modest anti-HIV-1 activity, whereas 2-adamantan-1-yl-3-(4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl)-thiazolidin-4-one (8) was endowed with a remarkable antiviral potency (EC(50)=0.67 microM). The new
