Enfuvirtide and sifuvirtide, the first- and next-generation HIV-fusion inhibitors, contain different functional domains and have distinct target sites. Here, we found that a combination of enfuvirtide and sifuvirtide resulted in potent synergism in inhibiting HIV-1-mediated cell-cell fusion and infection by X4 and R5 as well as enfuvirtide-resistant HIV-1 strains. These findings suggest that application of enfuvirtide and sifuvirtide in combination may improve their efficacy and resistant profile, leading to a reduction of the dosage and frequency of drug use.
恩夫韦肽和西夫韦肽是第一代和第二代 HIV 融合抑制剂,它们包含不同的功能域,具有不同的靶位。在这里,我们发现恩夫韦肽和西夫韦肽联合使用可显著增强抑制 X4 和 R5 型 HIV-1 介导的细胞-细胞融合和感染以及对恩夫韦肽耐药的 HIV-1 株的作用。这些发现提示,联合应用恩夫韦肽和西夫韦肽可能会提高它们的疗效和耐药谱,减少用药剂量和频率。
