RESUMO
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infects human helper T lymphocytes by an interaction between gp120, the viral coat protein, and the T-cell receptor CD4. Two microtiter-based immunoassays, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and a particle concentration fluorescence assay, were developed to measure gp120-CD4 binding and were then used to screen a variety of compounds for the inhibition of this interaction. Additional protocols, called "consumption assays," were defined to distinguish inhibitors which functioned by sequestering either gp120 or CD4 to prevent the final effective bimolecular interaction. Monoclonal antibodies of defined specificity and compounds known from other published studies to inhibit gp120-CD4 binding were tested in an attempt to validate the assays used in the study. Once the capacity of these assays to detect known gp120-CD4 inhibitors was confirmed, they were used to screen synthetic agents and fermentation broths for novel compounds that might be used as human immunodeficiency virus receptor antagonists. A 2,4-diaminoquinazoline, CP-101,816-1, was found to inhibit this interaction (50% inhibitory concentration in ELISA, 32.5 micrograms/ml) and to interact more strongly with CD4 than with gp120 in the consumption assays. The identification of a novel inhibitor, a 2,4-diaminoquinazoline, confirmed that such assays are useful for the detection of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 receptor antagonists.
