The invention relates to application of a
BET inhibitor BMS-986158, in particular to application of the
BET inhibitor BMS-986158 in preparation of an anti-HIV-1
medicine. Researches show that the
BET inhibitor BMS-986158 can be used for remarkably activating expression of HIV-1 in an HIV-1 latent
cell line J-Lat, OM10.1 and ACH2 cells; when the the BET inhibitor BMS-986158 is combined with other types of latent activators, a synergistic effect is shown; the activation effect is not influenced by anti-HIV drugs, and activities of the anti-HIV drugs can be improved; and in
peripheral blood mononuclear cells separated from a body of an HIV-1 patient receiving ART treatment for a long time, the BMS-986158 also shows a remarkable latent activation effect.
Toxicity experiment of the BMS-986158 on PBMC shows that CC50 is greater than 100 [mu] M, indicating that the BMS-986158 less toxic to cells. The BMS-9861658 has
low toxicity and high latent activation HIV-1 activity, and can enhance an antiviral effect of an anti-viral
drug in vitro. Therefore, the BMS-9861658 can be used for preparing an anti-HIV-1 latency
medicine and can be combined with an anti-HIV
medicine to be used for treating the AIDS, and a new intervention way and strategy are provided for thoroughly curing AIDS.
