Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Described herein are compounds that inhibits the membrane proximal external region (MPER) of a viral envelope (Env), as well as and compositions thereof. Further provided herein are methods for treating or preventing a viral infection comprises administering to a subject in need thereof an agent or compound that inhibits the MPER of a viral Env. In certain embodiments, the viral infection is an HIV infection.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of treating a viral infection, the method comprising: administering to a subject in need thereof an agent that inhibits the membrane proximal external region (MPER) of a viral envelope (Env), wherein the viral infection is a human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) infection or a human immunodeficiency virus-2 (HIV-2) infection, wherein the agent that inhibits MPER is S2C3. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the viral envelope is the HIV-1 or HIV-2 Env. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein inhibiting MPER results in the inhibition of Env fusion to the target cell. 4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, prior to administering, the step of diagnosing a subject as having an HIV-1 or HIV-2 infection, or receiving the results of an assay that diagnoses a subject as having an HIV-1 or HIV-2 infection. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the HIV-1 or HIV-2 infection is resistant to at least one HIV treatment. 6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the HIV- 1 infection is resistant to an inhibitor of HIV- 1 fusion to a target cell. 7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the inhibitor of HIV-1 fusion is Maravirox, Enfuvirtide, Sifuvirtide, or Albuvirtide. 8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the target cell is a leukocyte, a lymphocyte, a T cell, or a CD 4 +T cell.
