Abstract: Each of Keggin type heteropolytungstosilicic and heteropolytungstogermanic acids reacted with 8-quinolinol, p-aminodimethylaniline and pyridine, respectively, yielding six charge trans fer heteropolycomplexes(CTHPCs), which were purified and characterized by elemental analy sis, IR, UV and 183W NMR. The anti-HIV-1 activities of CTHPCs were evaluated by ELISA of HIV-P24 antigen. The toxicity against MT-4 cells was measured by MTT. The results show that median inhibitory concentration(IC50) for each CTHPC to inhibit HIV-P24 antigen in cell culture was lower than 5 g/mL, while median toxicity concentration (IC50) against MT-4 cells was higher than 268 g/mL. The following mechanisms might be considered for their anti-HIV 1 activity, namely, (1) inhibiting the penetration of HIV-1 virus into target cells for it can blockade CD4 receptor of MT-4 cells and (2) inhibition of syncytium formation.
