AMD3100, a small molecule inhibitor of HIV-1 entry via the CXCR4 co-receptor

TL;DR: The bicyclam AMD3100 blocks HIV-1 entry and membrane fusion via the CXCR4 co-receptor, but not via CCR5, and development of small molecule inhibitors of HIV- 1 entry is feasible.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inhibition of T-tropic HIV Strains by Selective Antagonization of the Chemokine Receptor CXCR4

TL;DR: The bicyclams are, to the authors' knowledge, the first low molecular weight anti-HIV agents shown to act as potent and selective CXCR4 antagonists.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pharmacokinetics and Safety of AMD-3100, a Novel Antagonist of the CXCR-4 Chemokine Receptor, in Human Volunteers

TL;DR: ABSTRACT AMD-3100, a bicyclam, is a novel agent that uniquely inhibits the entry of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) into CD4+ T cells via selective blockade of the chemokine CXCR-4 receptor.
