Successful propagation of HIV in the human host requires entry into a permissive cell, reverse transcription of viral RNA, integration into the human genome, transcription of the integrated provirus, and assembly/release of new virus particles. Currently, there are antiretrovirals against each of these viral steps, except for provirus transcription. An inhibitor of HIV transcription could both increase potency of treatment and suppress drug-resistant strains. Cellular cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) serves as a cofactor for the HIV Tat protein and is required for effective transcription of the provirus. Previous studies have shown that the CDK9 inhibitor Indirubin 3’-monoxime (IM) inhibits HIV transcription in vitro and in short-term in vivo studies of HIV acute infection in humanized mice (PBMC-NSG model), suggesting a therapeutic potential. The objective of this study is to evaluate the toxicity, pharmacokinetics and long-term antiviral activity of IM during chronic HIV infection in humanized mice (HSC-NSG model). We show that IM concentrations above EC50 values are rapidly achieved and sustained for > 3 h in plasma, and that non-toxic concentrations durably reduce HIV RNA levels. In addition, IM enhanced the antiviral activity of antiretrovirals from the reverse transcriptase, protease and integrase inhibitor classes in in vitro infectivity assays. In summary, IM may enhance current antiretroviral treatments and could help achieve a “functional cure” in HIV patients by preventing expression of proviruses.
