title: Synthesis of peptides mimicking chemokine receptor CCR5 and their inhibitory effects against HIV-1 infection.
abstract: Peptides mimicking chemokine receptor CCR5 were synthesized and their anti-HIV-1 activities evaluated. Prepared compounds, especially a sulfated derivatives, showed significant anti-HIV-1 activities. Furthermore, a hybrid molecule linked to an N-carbomethoxycarbonyl-prolyl-phenylalanine (CPF) moiety had a greater effect.
