[Partial segmental thrombosis of upper part of the corpus cavernosum].

A clinical observation of the distal segmental thrombosis of the left corpus cavernosum is presented in the article. Efficient treatment was based on the results of contrast MRI, and timely application of long-term doses of antithrombotic drugs was done. It is allowed to avoid short-term formation of such a complication as cavernous fibrosis.

[Activity of the inositol-containing phospholipid dimer analogues against human immunodeficiency virus].

For the purpose of finding effective inhibitors of virus adsorption the series of inositol-containing phospholipid dimer analogues were previously synthesized. In the present work, the antiretroviral activity of these compounds against HIV-1 was demonstrated on the model of cells infected with the virus. The highest effect was found in the case of dimer poliol 5, EC50 (50%-effective concentration) was 3.9 microg/ml. The development of new polyanionic compounds, which can interfere with early steps of the virus life cycle, is a promising addition to the antiretroviral therapy based on the virus enzyme inhibitors.

[Polyanionic inhibitors of HIV adsorption].

Viral adsorption inhibitors represent new generation of antiviral drugs, which can be applied for the treatment of HIV infection. Given review presents the different classes of HIV entry inhibitors grouped by the processes they are targeted: the binding of viral glycoprotein gp120 with cellular receptor CD4, the following interaction of gp120 with the chemokine receptors CCR5 or CXCR4, the formation of six-helix bundle gp41 needed for the viral and cellular membrane fusion.
