Abstract__ Background Terpenoid derivatives originating from many plants species are interesting compounds with numerous biological effects such as anti-HIV-l activity. The zinc tetra-ascorbo-camphorate complex or Cl4 a new monoterpenoid derivative was evaluated in vitro for its anti-HIV-l activity on both R5- and X4-HIV-I infection of primary target cells macrophages dendritic cells and T cells and on HIV-l transfer from dendritic cells to T cells. Results The toxicity study was carried out in vitro and also with the
