ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to the use of pharmaceutical compositions, containing an effective amount of topoisomerase I inhibitor such as camptothecin, useful in blocking both the initiation of infection and replication of retroviruses in host cells, thus reducing and eliminating retroviral production in infected cells. Use of such inhibitors provides as means of reducing or eliminating retroviral infections and their deleterious consequences in infected humans and animals.
