ABSTRACTHuman immunodeficiency virus type 1(HIV-1) latent reservoirs pose the primary obstacle to curing acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Transactivator(Tat),a regulatory protein encoded by HIV-1,influences the establishment and reactivation of latent reservoirs by promoting viral transcription. Inhibitors targeting Tat protein suppress viral rebound by reducing Tat protein levels and disrupting its transcription-promoting functions. Among the two strategies for treating HIV-1 latent reservoirs,the“block-and-lock”strategy,which is based on Tat protein inhibitors,aims to target HIV-1 proteins or host factors while interfering with histone epigenetic modifications,thereby permanently silencing proviral DNA and maintaining HIV-1 latency even after treatment discontinuation. Tat-related inhibitors such as didehydrocortistatin A(dCA),triptolide,and apalutamide-derived Q3O8 regulate HIV-1 latency through distinct mechanisms. This review summarizes the regulatory roles of Tat in HIV-l latency, Tat protein inhibitor-based therapeutic strategies for targeting latent reservoirs,and the mechanisms of action of related inhibitors,with the goal of providing insights for the development of drugs toward achieving functional HIV-1 cure.
