##STR00001##

pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds and methods of using these compounds to provides a method of modulating a HSD17B13 protein for treatment of metabolic disease or liver condition, The present invention relates generally to compounds and pharmaceutical compositions useful as 17β-HSD13 inhibitors. Specifically, the present invention relates to compounds useful as inhibitors of 17β-HSD13 and methods for their preparation and use.

An anti-HIV agent containing, as an active ingredient, ex, 4-oxoquinoline compound represented by the following formula [I]

##STR00001##

wherein each symbol is as defined in the specification, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The compound of the present invention has HIV integrase inhibitory action and is useful as an anti-HIV agent for the prophylaxis or therapy of AIDS. Moreover, by a combined use with other anti-HIV agents such as protease inhibitors, reverse transcriptase inhibitors and the like, the compound can become a more effective anti-HIV agent. Since the compound has high inhibitory activity specific for integrases, it can provide a safe pharmaceutical agent with a fewer side effects for human.

The invention is concerned with compounds, pharmaceutical compositions, screening methods, and therapeutic methods for preventing or reducing a human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) infection and/or propagation associated with dendritic cell immunoreceptor (DCIR). Described herein are compounds which bind on at least one three-dimensional cavity of the DCIR, the cavity(ies) being involved in the interaction between HIV-1 and DCIR. Also described are screening methods for identifying active inhibitors and method of using such inhibitors for the prevention or treatment of virus infections, and more particularly for reducing human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) binding, entry and/or replication in human cells.
