Abstract
This disclosure provides methods of using BAF complex modulating compounds as inhibitors of BAF-mediated transcription in target cells. The BAF complex modulating compounds include 12-membered macrolactam compounds that can target a BAF-specific subunit (e.g., ARID1A) to prevent nucleosomal positioning, relieving transcriptional repression of HIV-1. The subject methods can provide for reversal of latency of HIV-1 in cells in vitro or in vivo. Use of the macrolactam BAF complex modulating compounds represent a method of HIV latency reversal with a unique mechanism of action, which can be optionally combined with other Latency Reversal Agents to improve reservoir targeting. The subject methods can be utilized in conjunction with any convenient methods of treating HIV or HIV latency, including methods related to immune system activation, antiretroviral therapies and/or anti-HIV agents.
