ICC, Durban, 7-10 June 2011CSIR Biosciences investigated the anti-HIV properties of a plant indigenous to the Eastern Cape, commonly used by traditional healers. A natural compound isolated from the plant, coded BP36, inhibited infectivity of HIV-1 pseudoviruses. The data suggests that BP36 is an entry inhibitor and may therefore be suitable to be developed as a microbicide to control the sexual transmission of HIV.enHIV-1MicrobicidesIndigenous plantsHIV-1 pseudovirusesBP36Conference PresentationVan den Berg, N., Mbobela, P., Pillay, P., Maharaj, V., & Khati, M.
