9-PHENYL-2,4-BIS(TRIFLUOROMETHYL)[1,2,4]TRIAZOLO[4,3-A][1,8]NAPHTHYRIDINE Usage And Synthesis

Uses

5M038 is an inhibitor of HIV envelope-mediated fusion with potent inhibitory activity against gp41-mediated membrane fusion. 5M038 prevents the formation of the gp41 post-fusion conformation and inhibits envelope-mediated membrane fusion in cell-cell fusion and viral infectivity assays. 5M038 has shown broad fusion inhibition in tests against multiple HIV-1 subtypes, including M and T strains. 5M038 targets a highly conserved hydrophobic pocket and binds to the gp41 trimer, thereby exerting its inhibitory effect[1].
