Inhibition of replication of human immunodeficiency virus by a heteropolyoxotungstate (PM-19).

Abstract
A Keggin polyoxotungstate PM-19 K7[PTi2W10040].cntdot.6H2O was found to be a potent inhibitor of the replication of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIdS), in OKT4+ cells. In contrast, the effect of HPA 23 (NH4)17Na[NaSb9W21086], an inhibitor of reverse transcriptase of HIV, was not significant.
