ABSTRACT Immune reconstitution might not be the only factor contributing to the low prevalence of microsporidiosis in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients treated with protease inhibitors, as these drugs may exert a direct inhibitory effect against fungi and protozoa. In this study, we developed a cell culture-quantitative PCR assay to quantify Encephalitozoon intestinalis growth in U-373-MG human glioblastoma cells and used this assay to evaluate the activities of six HIV aspartyl protease inhibitors against E. intestinalis. A real-time quantitative PCR assay targeted the E. intestinalis small-subunit rRNA gene. HIV aspartyl protease inhibitors were tested over serial concentrations ranging from 0.2 to 10 mg/liter, with albendazole used as a control. Ritonavir, lopinavir, and saquinavir were able to inhibit E. intestinalis growth, with 50% inhibitory concentrations of 1.5, 2.2, and 4.6 mg/liter, respectively, whereas amprenavir, indinavir, and nelfinavir had no inhibitory effect. Pepstatin A, a reference aspartyl protease inhibitor, could also inhibit E. intestinalis growth, suggesting that HIV protease inhibitors may act through the inhibition of an E. intestinalis-encoded aspartyl protease. These results showed that some HIV protease inhibitors can inhibit E. intestinalis growth at concentrations that are achievable in vivo and that the real-time quantitative PCR assay that we used is a valuable tool for the in vitro assessment of the activities of drugs against E. intestinalis.

The reduction of substituted spiro-piperidinyl chromanone oximes with DIBAH reagents has been known to afford the corresponding substituted 4,5-dihydro-3H-spiro[1,5]-benzoxazepine-2,4′-piperidine. The position and electronic effects of the substituents on the aryl moiety control the observed rearrangement. Spiro-benzoxazepine analogue 5j represents a key intermediate for the creation of a library of diverse potential bioactive drugs. With three functional groups that could be selectively and orthogonally protected, many different substituents can be introduced. The obtained analogues were assayed as the possible aspartyl protease inhibitors HIV protease (HIV-1), and β-secretase (BACE-1).
