T134, a Small-Molecule CXCR4 Inhibitor, Has No Cross-Drug Resistance with AMD3100, a CXCR4 Antagonist with a Different Structure
1 Feb 1999
Abstract excerpt
T22, an analog of polyphemusin II (18 amino acid residues), was found to block T-tropic human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) entry into target cells as a CXCR4 inhibitor. We synthesized T134, a small analog (14 amino acid residues) of T22 with reduced positive charges. T134 exhibited highly potent activity and significantly less cytotoxicity in comparison to that of T22. T134 prevents the anti-CXCR4...
