Molecular Modeling of the Anti-HIV Activity Mechanism of Iodine-Containing Drugs Armenicum and FS-1.

ABSTRACT: Drugs Armenicum and FS-1 are a solution of ionic nanostructured complexes of α-dextrin. In the active centers of these drugs, located inside the dextrin helix, molecular iodine has such an electronic form that minimizes toxic effects in the human body, so these drugs can be used for parenteral and oral administration. On the human lymphoblastoid cell line MT-2, the effect of the antiviral action of FS-1 against HIV-1 was established. Literature data on the results of treatment of people with HIV infection with Armenicum are presented. The mechanism of anti-HIV action of drugs Armenicum and FS-1 was proposed by the molecular modeling method. Using the DFT/B3PW91/6-31G** approach, it was shown that LiI(Cl)I₂ active center drugs of Armenicum and FS-1 can be segregated from the dext
