FeTMPS prevents apoptosis in astroglial cells induced by HIV-1-infected M/M. Supernatants from HIV-1 infected M/M (M/M + HIV) produces apoptotic cell death of astroglial cells (c) greater than supernatants from mock-infected (M/M) (b) as evaluated by FACS analysis 8 days after exposure to supernatants. FeTMPS (d), but not H₂TMPS (e) or FeCl₃ (f), antagonized this effect.
