Chemically modified heparins were tested for their activities in (i) inhibiting HIV-1 replication in vitro and (ii) inhibiting the binding to recombinant HIV-1 gp120 of monoclonal antibodies specific for the V3 loop. The results reveal that N-desulfation reduces activity, although this is largely restored on N-acetylation. Selective O-desulfation also markedly reduces activity, whereas carboxyl reduction has little effect. Overall these results show that the anti-HIV-1 activity of heparin does not depend simply on negative density, and indicate instead that particular structures, notably O-sulfates, are involved. Our studies reveal that for chemically modified heparins and heparin-derived fragments there is a striking correlation between anti-HIV-1 activity in vitro and binding to the V3 loop of gp120 in solid phase ELISA. This strongly suggests that the heparin exerts its anti-HIV-1 activity by binding to the V3 loop of gp120.
