Fusion Inhibitor · Antiviral
Enfuvirtide (Fuzeon)

First-in-class HIV fusion inhibitor peptide.

Mechanism

36-amino-acid peptide that binds the gp41 subunit of HIV-1 envelope, blocking the conformational change required for viral-host membrane fusion and cell entry.

Research areas
  • Treatment-experienced HIV-1 infection
Considerations
  • FDA-approved.
  • Injection-site reactions nearly universal.
