HIV-1 anchor inhibitors and membrane fusion inhibitors target distinct but overlapping steps in virus entry
29 Jan 2019
Abstract excerpt
HIV-1 entry into cells is mediated by the envelope glycoprotein (Env) and represents an attractive target for therapeutic intervention. Two drugs that inhibit HIV entry are approved for clinical use: the membrane fusion-inhibitor T20 (Fuzeon, enfuvirtide) and the C-C chemokine receptor type 5 (CCR5) blocker maraviroc (Selzentry). Another class of entry inhibitors supposedly target the fusion peptide (FP) and are...
