Hydroxyquinones are competitive non-peptide inhibitors of HIV-1-Proteinase.

Comment

Comment
Alizarin is a subsituted anthraquinone with three aromatic rings. Originally, this substance is a pH indicator, but may also be used as a competitive inhibitor of HIV-1-Proteinase. Studies on the enzyme kinetics lead to the conclusion, that alizarin binds to the acitve center of the enzyme. The inhibitory concentration (IC50) is 12 μM. A stock solution (10 mM) can be prepared in DMSO. For enzyme assays, this stock solution was diluted with 0.1 M MES sodium (pH 6.5; ref. 1).
