Anti-HIV activity of thiosemicarbazone and semicarbazone derivatives of (+/-)-3-menthone

Arch Pharm (Weinheim). 2002 May;335(5):183-6. doi: 10.1002/1521-4184(200205)335:5<183::AID-ARDP183>3.0.CO;2-U.

Abstract

A series of thiosemicarbazones and semicarbazone derivatives of (+/-)-3-menthone have been synthesized and their anti-HIV activity evaluated against HIV-1(III(B))and HIV-2 (ROD). The studies revealed that maximum protection is offered by chloro-substituted derivatives 2 and 7 against HIV-1 (III(B)) and HIV-2 (ROD).
