Abstract

Sifuvirtide (SFT) is a potent anti-HIV-1 (human immunodeficiency virus-1) fusion inhibitor and it shows higher potency and pharmacokinetic stability than the approved fusion inhibitor T20. At present, sifuvirtide has completed the phase Ⅱb clinical trial in China. In this study, SFT-1 and SFT-2 were synthesized via all-hydrocarbon cross-linking system with replacing the original salt bridge in SFT by hydrocarbon covalent bond, using sifuvirtide as template. The anti-HIV-1 activity was evaluated for all synthetic peptides. The results indicated that SFT stapled peptides displayed high inhibitory activity against seven HIV-1 pseudovirus strains, and SFT-1 showed the highest inhibitory activity against B' and B'C subtype virus strains, SFT-2 showed the highest inhibitory activity against B, CRF01_AE and CRF08_BC subtype virus strains.
