We describe a low molecular weight covalent inhibitor targeting a conserved lysine residue within the hydrophobic pocket of HIV-1 glycoprotein-41. The inhibitor bound selectively to the hydrophobic pocket and exhibited an order of magnitude enhancement of anti-fusion activity against HIV-1 compared to its non-covalent counterpart. The findings represent a significant advance in the quest to obtain non-peptide fusion inhibitors.
我们描述了一种低分子量共价抑制剂，它靶向HIV-1糖蛋白-41疏水口袋内的一个保守赖氨酸残基。该抑制剂选择性地结合到疏水口袋，并与其非共价对应物相比，对HIV-1的抗融合活性增强了一个数量级。这些发现代表了在寻求非肽类融合抑制剂方面的重大进展。
