Abstract Kelletinin A [ribityl-pentakis (p-hydroxybenzoate)] (KA), a natural compound isolated from the marine gastropodBuccinulum corneum, showed antiviral activity on the human T-cell leukemia virus type-1 (HTLV-1) and antimitotic activity on HTLV-1-infected MT2 cells. KA inhibited cellular DNA and RNA synthesis, without influencing protein synthesis, and interfered with viral transcription by reducing the levels of high molecular weight transcripts. Finally, the compound inhibited HTLV-1 reverse transcriptase in vitro.
