Abstract
The present invention provides novel methods of treating HIV infections employing small molecule inhibitors identified by chemical library (DIVERSet™ library). These small molecule inhibitors may specifically bind to HIV-1 capsid protein thereby interfering with capsid assembly. The small molecule inhibitors of the present invention can be potential drug targets in the treatment of HIV infection.
