Activity Information


Target Organism  HIV

Assay 

Activity 

  • [Ref.26026377]HIV: inhibition of HIV Pseudovirus (PsV) infection in CD4+ T cells(IC50=2.5 µM).

Hemolytic Activity  No hemolysis information or data found in the reference(s) presented in this entry

Cytotoxicity 

  • [Ref.26026377]Human endocervical cells End1/E6E7:50% cell death at 12.5 µM.

Binding Target  membrane

Mechanism  The peptide could disrupt the viral envelope and release p24 protein.And the more effective they were at disruption of the viral envelope, the better they were at inhibiting infection.
