The present invention relates to a HIV-1 inhibiting pharmaceutical composition containing, as an active ingredient, 6,6′-bieckol which is a phloroglucinol polymer compound separated from Ecklonia cava. The Ecklonia cava-derived 6,6′-bieckol according to the present invention inhibits HIV-1 induced cell fusion, the cell lysis effect, and the cytopathogenic effect including virus p24 antibody production, exhibits RT enzyme inhibition activity and HIV-1 infection inhibition activity, and shows no cytotoxicity at the concentration that almost perfectly inhibits HIC-1 replication. |
