This paper describes an approach to prevent HIV-cell fusion by disrupting the interaction between HIV protein gp120 and CD4 receptor. The CD4 residues Phe43 and Arg59 make important interactions with gp120. Small molecule analogues were made to mimic the crucial features of these residues. The analogues were assayed using a cellular 'FIGS' assay to measure inhibition of cell fusion and caused some inhibition.
本文描述了一种通过破坏HIV蛋白gp120与CD4受体之间的相互作用来预防HIV-细胞融合的方法。CD4的苯丙氨酸43和精氨酸59残基与gp120形成重要的相互作用。制备了小分子类似物以模拟这些残基的关键特征。使用细胞“FIGS”试验对这些类似物进行检测,以测量细胞融合的抑制情况,结果显示有一定程度的抑制作用。
