Discovery of Lenacapavir: First-in-Class Twice-Yearly Capsid Inhibitor for HIV-1 Treatment and Pre-exposure Prophylaxis.
The HIV capsid is essential to the virus lifecycle, making it a promising target for therapeutic intervention. In 2006, a screening campaign was initiated to identify small molecules capable of disrupting the protein-protein interactions required for self-assembly of the 1500 capsid monomers that form the 37 MDa fullerene cone-shaped capsid. Numerous compound design cycles over many years were undertaken to discover the complex structural elements that together afford the multistage HIV capsid inhibitor lenacapavir. Lenacapavir is the most potent (HIV-1 EC50 = 105 pM) and longest-acting HIV antiviral to date, with a unique twice-yearly dosing regimen. Clinically, lenacapavir has demonstrated robust efficacy for both HIV-1 treatment and prevention, and, remarkably, achieved 100% protection in women for the first time. These findings represent a significant advancement in treatment and prevention of HIV-1 infection, offering the potential to profoundly impact the global course of the HIV epidemic.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Medicinal Chemistry is a prestigious biweekly peer-reviewed publication that focuses on the multifaceted field of medicinal chemistry. Since its inception in 1959 as the Journal of Medicinal and Pharmaceutical Chemistry, it has evolved to become a cornerstone in the dissemination of research findings related to the design, synthesis, and development of therapeutic agents.
The Journal of Medicinal Chemistry is recognized for its significant impact in the scientific community, as evidenced by its 2022 impact factor of 7.3. This metric reflects the journal's influence and the importance of its content in shaping the future of drug discovery and development. The journal serves as a vital resource for chemists, pharmacologists, and other researchers interested in the molecular mechanisms of drug action and the optimization of therapeutic compounds.
