Abstract
Immune activation and synthesis of nucleic acids participate in the course of infection by human immunodeficiency virus. Aminoacridines, formally used as antiparasitic drugs, but almost abandoned nowadays for therapeutic use, are strong deoxyribonucleic acid chemoprotectors and lysosome stabilizers. Theoretically, these actions within the cell and other peculiar pharmacological characteristics of aminoacridines, particularly quinacrine, could pose barriers to human immunodeficiency virus infection and replication.Entities:
