Bryostatin-1 was safe at the single doses administered. However, the drug did not show any effect on PKC activity or on the transcription of latent HIV, probably due to low plasma concentrations. This study will inform next trials aimed at assessing higher doses, multiple dosing schedules or combination studies with synergistic drugs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
