Methods are provided for treating HIV and cancer in a subject in need thereof by administering to the subject therapeutically effective amounts of an mTOR inhibitor. Other methods are provided for treating subjects infected with HIV by administering to the subject therapeutically effective amounts of the mTOR inhibitor INK128, GSK2126458, AZD2014 or Torin-2.

Treatment agents for inhibiting HIV and cancer in HIV infected patients

The present invention relates to the downregulation of surface receptor CCR5 expression through manipulation of the cell cycle in activated lymphocytes by administering a composition that arrests the G1 phase of the cell cycle, thereby reducing receptor sites for entry of HIV into T cells, and thus, the effects of HIV. Further, compositions are disclosed that include at least one G1 phase arresting agent and at least one antiviral agent, wherein the combination of agents synergistically enhances the activity of the antiviral agent.

Compositions for down-regulation of CCR5 expression and methods of use thereof

Synergistic combinations of guanosine nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitors such as abacavir with inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase inhibitors such as mycophenolates, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such combinations, and therapeutic methods comprising administering the synergistic combinations to subjects in need thereof, for treating a viral infection, such as an HIV-1 infection.

Synergistic combinations of guanosine analog reverse transcriptase inhibitors and inosine monophosphate dehydrogenese inhibitors and uses therefor

Methods and combinations of an agent that promotes DNA synthesis in a virally-targeted cell and a nucleoside analogue having antiviral activity are provided for treating a viral infection in a subject in need thereof. Such compositions are particularly effective where the subject has resistance to a nucleoside analogue, where the subject has resting cellular reservoirs of such a virus, or to induce a post-treatment period of replication incompetence of such a virus.
