Abstract
A natural plant alkyloid with activity against human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV) 1 and 2. Michellamine B inhibits HIV reverse transcriptase (RT) activity and HIV-induced cellular fusion and syncytium formation, thereby inhibiting viral propagation. Michellamine B also inhibits human DNA polymerases alpha and beta.
