How Can (−)-Epigallocatechin Gallate from Green Tea Prevent HIV-1 Infection? Mechanistic Insights from Computational Modeling and the Implication for Rational Design of Anti-HIV-1 Entry Inhibitors

Abstract excerpt

Possible inhibitors preventing human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) entry into the cells are recognized as hopeful next-generation anti-HIV-1 drugs. It is highly desirable to develop a potent inhibitor blocking binding of glycoprotein CD4 of the cell with glycoprotein gp120 of HIV-1, because the gp120-CD4 binding is the initial step of HIV-1 entry into the cells. It has been recently reported that...
