Patent Title Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) gp41 peptide derivatives with enhanced solubility and antiviral activity
Comment The peptide was modified with acetyl N-terminus and amide C-terminus, which exihibits antiviral activity by inhibiting viral infection of cells, for example, by inhibiting cell-cell fusion or free virus infection.
Abstract This invention relates to gp41 peptide derivatives that are inhibitors of viral infection and/or exhibit antifusogenic properties. In particular, this invention relates to gp41 derivatives having inhibiting activity against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) with enhanced duration of action for the treatment of the respective viral infections.
