개요Maraviroc is the first CCR5 receptor antagonist that has been developed and launched for the treatment of HIV-1. Maraviroc binds in a slowly reversible, allosteric manner to CCR5, which is one of two principle chemokine co-receptors for viral entry into the host cell, the other being CXCR4. Binding of maraviroc to CCR5 induces conformational changes within the chemokine receptor, thereby preventing CCR5 binding to the viral gp120 protein and the ultimate CCR5- mediated virus-cell fusion that is a prerequisite for HIV invasion. Maraviroc, with its unique mechanism of action as a fusion inhibitor, joins the greater than 20 marketed antiretrovirals, including nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), and PIs. It is approved for use in combination with these other antiretroviral drugs in adult patients with R5-tropic HIV-1 infection (but not X4 or dual/mixed tropic HIV-1).

용도Maraviroc is a CCR5 antagonist for MIP-1α, MIP-1β and RANTES with IC50 of 3.3 nM, 7.2 nM and 5.2 nM, respectively
