GRL-142
GRL-142 is a potent HIV-1 protease inhibitor capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier. GRL-142 exhibits extremely high inhibitory activity against both wild-type and multidrug-resistant strains (IC50=0.0094 nM). GRL-142 acts synergistically with the P2/P2' segments via a unique scaffold binding mechanism, utilizes fluorine-mediated stable interactions to maintain its bioactive conformation, adapts to p51 HIV-1 protease mutants, and maintains the flap-closed state by directly acting on the flap tip residues. GRL-142 disrupts the flap-water hydrogen bond network of wild-type protease, thereby effectively blocking viral replication. GRL-142 can be used to study HIV-1 infection and the associated neurocognitive disorder (HAND).

In Vitro
GRL-142 exhibits ultra-potent inhibitory activity against wild-type HIV-1 (Ki=14 pM), and maintains high activity against most drug-resistant HIV-1 strains, but shows a significant reduction in activity against highly drug-resistant p51 strains (with a maximum reduction of 436-fold)[1].

Research Protocol for Infectious Diseases
Infectious-disease experiments test how pathogens interact with host barriers, innate immune receptors, inflammatory signaling, pathogen replication, and tissue injury; pattern-recognition receptors such as TLRs, RIG-I-like receptors, NOD-like receptors, and inflammasomes detect microbial molecules and activate NF-κB, interferon, and cytokine responses. The central hypothesis is that infection severity reflects the balance between pathogen burden and host response: protective inflammation restricts pathogen growth, whereas excessive or mislocalized inflammation contributes to tissue damage and disease phenotype. Unresolved questions include which host pathways are protective versus pathogenic, why some infection models fail to translate to human disease, and which combined readouts best predict clinically relevant infection outcomes.

Cell Cytotoxicity Assay
Cytotoxicity assays are usually based on the assessment of cell membrane damage, which can also be indirectly detected by measuring cell viability. Detection methods include MTT assay, CKK-8 assay, LDH assay and ATP assay, etc.
