Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to lipopeptide for inhibiting HIV in a broad spectrum manner in the field of biomedicine, a derivative thereof, a pharmaceutical composition thereof and application thereof.
Background
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) causing Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is classified into two types, type 1 and type 2. At present, the number of HIV infection is about 3600 ten thousand worldwide, HIV-1 is the main pathogen, and about 100-. However, HIV-2 has gradually spread to regions such as Europe, Asia, and North America, posing a serious threat to human health [1 ]. The vaccine is the best means for preventing AIDS, but the effective AIDS vaccine has great breakthrough in short term. Therefore, the development of drugs for blocking different replication stages of viruses is a key strategy for preventing and controlling AIDS at present. Because the prior AIDS treatment drugs for clinical application are designed according to HIV-1, the activity of a plurality of drugs to HIV-2 is limited, and the drugs cannot be used for clinical treatment of HIV-2 infection.
HIV entry into a target cell is mediated by envelope glycoprotein (Env) on its surface [2] which is composed of surface subunit gp120 and transmembrane subunit gp41 linked by a non-covalent bond and is in a trimeric structure in its natural state. gp120 has a major function of binding to cell receptor CD4 and co-receptors (such as chemokine receptor CCR5 or CXCR4, etc.), and gp41 mainly mediates membrane fusion of virus and cell. studies have found that gp41 the extracellular domain comprises several important functional regions including hydrophobic Fusion Peptide (FP), N-terminal helix repeat (NHR), C-terminal helix repeat (CHR). As early in 1997, by resolving the crystal structure of a polypeptide complex derived from NHR and CHR, the core structure of gp41 is found to be a six-stranded helix bundle (6-HB) in which the N-helix composed of three NHRs interacts with amino acid residues at a and d positions to form a centrally located helix through interaction with each other, amino acid residues at e and g positions expose to the six helix bundles (6-HB), and the N-helix bundle is found to form a central helix bundle, which is exposed, and when the three-helix-binding to the target protein is found to the cell is stabilized by interaction with the three-loop motif of the three-helix motif of the protein binding to the protein of the protein involved in the protein binding to the protein of the cell receptor CD 355 and the protein, which is found to form a structural domain of a three-protein, which is found to form a structural domain of a structural motif of a loop binding to form a loop binding to a loop after HIV binding to a loop binding to a structural motif which is found to a structural motif which is known to a structural motif which is found to.
The polypeptides derived from gp41NHR and CHR have significant anti-HIV activity, mainly by competitively blocking the formation of 6-HB of the virus itself by binding to the corresponding NHR or CHR [7,8 ]. The U.S. FDA approved AIDS therapeutic drug T-20(Enfuvirtide, Fuzeon) was obtained in 2003 as a 36 amino acid residue polypeptide derived from CHR. T-20 is the first and only viral membrane fusion inhibitor currently approved for clinical therapy, but it induces resistance easily and has poor activity against HIV-2, greatly limiting its widespread use [9 ]. The polypeptide T1249 with the length of 39 amino acids is a second generation product of T20, has higher capability of inhibiting HIV-1 and HIV-2, but stops clinical trials due to the problems of dosage form and cost. Therefore, much research has been devoted to the development of a new generation of HIV membrane fusion inhibiting polypeptides. Since T-20 does not contain the essential NHR pocket binding sequence (PBD), another CHR polypeptide, C34, is widely used as a template for the design of novel inhibitors [7 ]. However, most of the newly designed polypeptides have a long amino acid sequence as T-20 and T1249, e.g., T2635 has 38 amino acids and SC35EK has 35 amino acids. The Cifuwei peptide (SFT) and the Abofovir peptide (ABT) in the Chinese clinical test have 36 and 34 amino acids respectively. Some polypeptides designed using HIV-2 and/or SIV sequences are also equally long, e.g., P3 and C34EHO each contain 34 amino acids [10 ]. Meanwhile, one of the obvious defects of the polypeptide drugs is the short biological half-life, such as the half-life of T-20 is only 3.8 hours, so that the treatment of patients needs to adopt high-dose frequent injection (90 mg/time and 2 times/day) clinically. In recent years, Chong H and the like focus on the structure, function and inhibitor research of HIV fusion protein gp41, and a new concept of designing a targeted NHR hydrophobic pocket short polypeptide HIV membrane fusion inhibitor based on an M-T hook structure and a salt bridge helical structure is proposed [11,12 ]. Recently, polypeptide 2P23 designed by introducing HIV-2/SIV sequence such as Xiong S has only 23 amino acids, and has high antiviral activity, broad spectrum, and strong inhibitory activity against HIV-1, HIV-2 and Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV) [13 ]. Recent studies have also shown that lipid chemical modification of polypeptides, so-called "lipopeptides", can not only improve the antiviral targeting and activity of polypeptides, but also significantly improve the stability and biological half-life of polypeptides, such as cholesterol-modified C34(C34-Chol) [14] and palmitic acid (C16) -modified HP23 short peptide (LP-11) [15 ]. These research advances have all laid a solid theoretical foundation and technological route for designing new HIV membrane fusion inhibitors.

Example 2 preparation of Polypeptides and lipopeptides
1. Preparation of polypeptides
The amino terminal of the polypeptides T-20 and 2P23 is connected with acetyl as amino terminal protecting group, the carboxyl terminal is connected with amino as carboxyl terminal protecting group, and the structures of the polypeptides are shown in figure 2. These polypeptides were synthesized manually from the carboxy-terminal to the amino-terminal using standard solid-phase polypeptide synthesis (Fmoc/tBu strategy). All polypeptide sequences are as normal as for polypeptide synthesisThe C-terminus is amidated and the N-terminus is acetylated. Amino protecting group Fmoc is removed by using amino acid protected by Fmoc and Rink resin (with a substitution constant of 0.44mmol/g) as a solid phase carrier and using DMF solution of 25% (volume percentage content) piperidine, wherein the removal steps are carried out twice each time, and the time duration is respectively 8min and 10 min. The condensation method adopted in the peptide-joining reaction is a DIPC/HOBt method and a PyBOP method, 3 times of equivalent of amino acid and activating reagent are adopted, the reaction time is 1 hour, and the reaction process is monitored by ninhydrin qualitative color development (Kaiser method). If the condensation reaction of a certain amino acid is not complete, the reaction time is prolonged properly or the condensation is repeated once until the desired target peptide segment is obtained. Cleavage reagents (trifluoroacetic acid: 1, 2-ethanedithiol: thioanisole: phenol: H)2O: triisopropylsilane-68.5: 10:10:5:3.5:1, v/v) the target polypeptide was cleaved from the resin and the side chain protecting groups were removed (cleavage at 30 ℃ for 4 hours). Filtering, adding the filtrate into cold anhydrous diethyl ether to precipitate polypeptide, and centrifuging. Washing with diethyl ether for several times, and drying to obtain crude polypeptide product.
2. Preparation of lipopeptides
LP-19, LP-20, LP-21, LP-22, LP-23, LP-24, LP-25, LP-26, LP-27, LP-28, LP-29, LP-30, LP-31, and LP-32, each of which has the structure shown in FIG. 1, are prepared according to the following procedure.
Modification of the polypeptide with palmitic acid (LP-19, LP-26 to LP-30), stearic acid (LP-20, LP-24, LP-25, LP-31, LP-32), dihydro (neuro) sphingosine (LP-22) or vitamin E (LP-23) is accomplished by amidation of the side chain amino group of Lys at the C-terminus of the polypeptide (ref. 15: Chong H, Wu X, Su Y, He Y. development of and cloning HIV-1fusion inhibitors AIDS 2016,30(8):1187-1196 in the background). The modification of the polypeptide by cholesterol (LP-21) is via a highly chemoselective thioether-forming reaction between the sulfhydryl group of the C-terminal Cys side chain of the polypeptide and cholesteryl bromoacetate onto the polypeptide chain (see background references 14: Ingallinella P, Bianchi E, Ladwa NA, Wang YJ, Hrin R, Venezianano M, et al.Addition of a cholesterol group to an HIV-1peptide fusion inhibitor and catalysis of recombinant microorganisms involved in the construction of polypeptide molecules and protein molecules. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A2009,106: 5801. fig.5 shows that the modification of the polypeptide by cholesterol is carried out by a thiosulfide-forming reaction.
The synthesis of lipopeptides is illustrated below by way of example LP-19:
chemical reagents used, such as Rink Amide MBHA resin, Fmoc-PEG4-OH (Fmoc-15-amino-4,7,10, 13-tetraoxanonetacanoic acid), various Fmoc amino acids, palmitoyl chloride (palmityl chloride), N '-Diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt), trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), Ethanedithiol (EDT), ninhydrin, piperidine (PIPE), phenol, N' -Dimethylformamide (DMF), chromatographically pure acetonitrile, and the like, were purchased from major chemical suppliers and were not further purified prior to use.
The synthesis was performed by standard manual solid phase Fmoc method, starting with Rink Amide MBHA resin (substitution constant 0.34mmol/g) from the C-terminus to the N-terminus. The Fmoc protecting group on Rink resin was removed with 25% piperidine/DMF (vol/vol) and then the first C-terminal amino acid residue was introduced by grafting with 2-fold equivalent of Fmoc-Lys (Dde) -OH/HOBt/DIC to the resin. Then, the N-terminal Fmoc protecting group was removed again with 25% piperidine/DMF (volume ratio) to make the N-terminal free amino group. This was repeated to connect two PEG4 and each amino acid residue in sequence.
The raw materials and the amounts used correspond to Fmoc-PEG4-OH (1.5eq), Fmoc-PEG4-OH (1.5eq), Fmoc-Lys (Boc) -OH (3eq), Fmoc-Leu-OH (3eq), Fmoc-Leu-OH (3eq), Fmoc-Glu (OtBu) -OH (3eq), Fmoc-Ile-OH (3eq), Fmoc-Lys (Boc) (3eq), Fmoc-Lys (3eq), Fmoc-Glu (OtBu) -OH (3eq), Fmoc-Leu-OH (3eq), Fmoc-Glu (OtBu) (3eq), Fmoc-Glu-OH (3eq), Fmoc-Val-OH (3eq), Fmoc-Lys (Boc) -OH (3eq), Fmoc-Glu (OtBu) -OH (3eq), Fmoc-Trp (Boc) -OH (3eq), Fmoc-Glu (OtBu) -OH (3eq), Fmoc-Trp (Boc) -OH (3eq), Fmoc-Thr (tBu) -OH (3eq), Fmoc-Met-OH (3eq), and Fmoc-Glu (OtBu) -OH (3 eq). Finally, N-terminal acetylation capping (3 times equivalent Ac) is carried out2O, 6 times equivalent diisopropylethylamine), completing the synthesis of the backbone. Wherein the reaction time of each step is as follows: deprotection for 8min, twice; the grafting time for the conventional amino acid was 60 minutes and for the PEG4 was 180 minutes.
The resin was treated with 2% hydrazine hydrate/DMF solution (vol/vol) to remove the protecting group of the side chain of the C-terminal Lys, and then mixed with 3-fold equivalent of palmitoyl chloride and 6-fold equivalent of diisopropylethylamine and subjected to amidation reaction (60 min) with the side chain amino group of the C-terminal Lys, thereby achieving palmitoylation modification on the C-terminal Lys residue.
After each step of reaction, the resin is washed by DMF more than six times, the reaction process is monitored by ninhydrin qualitative color development (Kaiser method), and if the condensation reaction of a certain amino acid is incomplete, the condensation is repeated once until the required target peptide segment is obtained.
Cleavage and side chain protection removal: after the synthesis of the lipopeptides was complete, the resin was dried in vacuo. The cleavage reagent (trifluoroacetic acid: 1, 2-ethanedithiol: thioanisole: phenol: H) was added to the dried resin2O: triisopropylsilane ═ 68.5:10:10:5:3.5:1, v/v), cleavage conditions at 30 ℃ for 3 hours cleaved the target lipopeptide from the resin and the side chain protecting groups removed. Filtering, adding the filtrate into cold anhydrous diethyl ether to precipitate lipopeptide, and centrifuging. Washing with ether for several times, and drying to obtain lipopeptide crude product.

3.2 Experimental results and analysis
3.2.1 inhibition of HIV-1, HIV-2 and SIV mediated cell fusion by LP-19
First, the inhibitory activity of LP-19 against various virus-mediated cell fusions was analyzed, and T-20, 2P23, and LP-11 were used as controls. The results are shown in FIG. 3, and LP-19 has a potent inhibitory effect on HIV-1, HIV-2 and SIV mediated cell membrane fusion, which is significantly higher than the three control polypeptides.

3.2.2 inhibition of HIV-1 and SIV pseudoviruses by LP-19
The inhibitory effect of LP-19 and control polypeptides on pseudovirus-mediated cell invasion was further evaluated, and the results are shown in FIG. 4. T-20, 2P23, LP-11 and LP-19 on HIV-1NInhibition of L4-3 mediated cell invasion IC5078.78nM, 0.78nM, 0.21nM and 0.12nM, respectively, for SIVpbjInhibition of cell invasion mediated IC50246.41nM, 10.56nM, 17.38nM and 0.48nM, respectively, for SIV239Inhibition of cell invasion mediated IC50402.77nM, 3.67nM, 2.9nM and 0.58nM, respectively. LP-19 has a potent inhibitory effect on both HIV-1 and SIV-mediated cell invasion, significantly higher than the three control polypeptides T-20, 2P23 and LP-11.
3.2.3 inhibition of HIV-1 and HIV-2 infection by LP-19
Meanwhile, inhibitory activity against infectious HIV-1 and HIV-2 was examined, and the results are shown in FIG. 5. Inhibition IC of T-20, 2P23, LP-11 and LP-19 against HIV-1 strain NL4-350Inhibition IC of ROD of HIV-2 strain at 112.75nM, 0.62nM, 0.22nM and 0.16nM, respectively50353.68nM, 16.21nM, 8.09nM and 1.66nM, respectively. The inhibitory activity of LP-19 on infectious HIV-1 and HIV-2 was significantly higher than that of the three control polypeptides T-20, 2P23 and LP-11. The combination of the experimental results of 3.2.1, 3.2.2 and 3.2.3 shows that LP-19 has stronger broad-spectrum anti-HIV-1, anti-HIV-2 and anti-SIV activities, and particularly shows strong advantageous effects on HIV-2 and anti-SIV.
3.2.4 inhibition of various subtypes of HIV-1 by LP-19
AIDS is mainly caused by HIV-1 worldwide, and various subtypes are generated due to virus variation, including A-D, F-H, J, K subtype and the like. Among them, subtypes A, B and C are the major viruses responsible for the world's HIV epidemic. In China, however, the prevalence of B/C and A/E recombinant viruses dominates. To further evaluate the activity against LP-19, a set of 29 HIV-1 pseudoviruses was prepared, including the international representative strains and the HIV strains currently circulating in China, among which there were subtype A3 strain, subtype B6 strain, subtype B' 3 strain, subtype C6 strain, subtype G1 strain, recombinant A/C1 strain, recombinant A/E4 strain, and recombinant B/C5 strain. These pseudovirus strains were maintained in the laboratory of professor hominis, institute of pathogenic biology, academy of Chinese medical sciences, see background art reference 13. The antiviral activity of T-20, 2P23, LP-11 and LP-19 was determined by reference to the method in 3.1.2 above (inhibition of HIV-1 and SIV pseudoviruses). Results of antiviral experimentsIt was shown that T-20, 2P23, LP-11 and LP-19 inhibit the mean IC of various subtype HIV-1 strains5034.01nM, 5.22nM, 1.29nM and 0.47nM, respectively. It can be seen that the inhibitory activity of LP-19 against various subtypes of HIV-1 virus was also significantly higher than that of the three control polypeptides T-20, 2P23 and LP-11 (FIG. 6).
3.2.5 inhibition of LP-19 against T-20 and 2P23 resistant strains of virus
T-20 is the only HIV membrane fusion inhibitor approved for clinical treatment at present, however, the activity of the inhibitor is obviously lower than that of the polypeptide of the new generation, and the inhibitor is easy to induce drug resistance mutation, so that the clinical antiviral treatment fails. 2P23 is a helical short peptide which is newly designed by the inventor and only has 23 amino acids and contains an M-T hook structure, mainly targets an NHR hydrophobic pocket structure of a fusion protein gp41, has good inhibitory activity on HIV-1, HIV-2 and SIV, but also presents certain cross resistance on drug-resistant mutation sites induced by some short peptides. To more fully evaluate the antiviral broad spectrum and superiority of LP-19, we generated pseudoviruses carrying NHR mutations, containing drug resistance sites corresponding to T-20 and 2P23, respectively (FIG. 7). These plasmids for pseudovirus production were obtained by the inventors by site-directed mutagenesis based on the plasmid pNL4-3-Env expressing the envelope protein of HIV-1 strain NL4-3, and were stored and used routinely in the laboratory of professor Hoyu, institute of pathogenic biology, academy of Chinese medicine. The T-20 resistant strains in FIG. 7 are HIV-1 4-3 mutant strains in Table 3 of (Chong H, Yao X, Zhang C, Cai L, Cui S, Wang Y, He Y. Biophysic Property and Anti-HIV Activity of Albrevilide, a 3-Maleimidopapironic Acid-modified peptide Fusion inhibitor PLoS one.2012,7(3): e 32599), respectively, and the subscript of the strain name in FIG. 7 is the strain name in Table 3 in this document. 2P23 resistant strains are HIV-1NL4-3 mutant strains in Table 1 of (SuY, Chong H, Xiong S, Qiao Y, Qiu Z, He Y. genetic pathway of HIV-1resistance level fusion inhibition of the Gp41pocket. J Virol.2015, 89(24): 12467) 12479) respectively, and the subscript of the strain name in FIG. 7 of the present invention is the strain name in Table 1 of the document. The antiviral activity of T-20, 2P23, LP-11 and LP-19 was determined by reference to the method described in 3.1.2 above. The results of antiviral experiments show that T-20, 2P23, LP-11 and LP-19 inhibit T-20 drug resistanceAverage IC of strains501804.3nM, 1.05nM, 0.37nM and 0.17nM, respectively (FIG. 7). As can be seen, the activity of LP-19 for inhibiting the T-20 drug-resistant strain is 10613.53 times, 6.18 times and 2.18 times higher than that of T-20, 2P23 and LP-11 respectively; average IC of LP-19 for inhibiting 2P23 drug-resistant strain50134.4nM, 36.52nM, 5.53nM and 0.81nM, respectively. It can be seen that the activity of LP-19 for inhibiting the 2P23 drug-resistant strain is 165.93 times, 45.09 times and 6.83 times higher than that of T-20, 2P23 and LP-11 respectively.
Example 4 in vivo antiviral Activity assay of LP-19
The results of the above-described multiple in vitro cell-based antiviral experiments indicate that LP-19 is a broad-spectrum, highly active antiviral lipopeptide. To determine whether LP-19 also has potent antiviral activity in vivo, LP-19, as well as control polypeptides T-20 and 2P23, were injected subcutaneously or intravenously into monkeys, and serum antiviral activity was measured in vitro using blood samples taken at various time points. The method can not only know the in vivo antiviral activity of the object to be detected, but also is helpful for analyzing the stability and half-life period of the object to be detected in vivo. The specific method comprises the following steps: 6 experimental macaques (rhesus monkeys) are selected, half male and half female, the age is 3-4 years, and the weight is 3.4-4.7 kg. The test substances T-20, 2P23 or LP-19 (all dissolved in sterile distilled water) are injected subcutaneously at the rate of 3mg (3mg/Kg) per kilogram of body weight, 0.4ml of venous blood specimen is extracted before (0 hour) injection and 1,2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 60 and 72 hours after injection respectively, and the serum is separated according to the conventional method. LP-19 was injected by intravenous route (dissolved in sterile distilled water) in addition to subcutaneous route at a dose of 3mg/Kg body weight. Each experiment was separated by more than 2 weeks to ensure that there was no residue from the last injection of test substance. Serum was tested for the activity of inhibiting HIV-1 pseudovirus NL4-3 mutant D36G (see Table 2 of reference 11 in the background art) using an antiviral assay according to the method in example 3. Serum was diluted 3-fold. The results of the experiment are shown in FIG. 8, T-20 injected subcutaneously showed peak inhibition at 2 and 4 hours, with the maximal dilution of serum inhibiting infectivity of 50% NL4-3 being 45-fold and 46-fold, respectively; subcutaneous injection of short peptide 2P23 showed peak inhibition at 1 and 2 hours, with maximal serum dilution of 60 and 68 fold, respectively; the subcutaneous injection of the short peptide LP-19 shows inhibition peak values at 6 and 8 hours, and the maximum dilution times of serum are 5396 times and 4720 times respectively; intravenous LP-19 showed peak inhibition at 1 and 2 hours with 99107-fold and 76346-fold maximal serum dilutions, respectively. It can be seen that LP-19 exhibits significant potent and long-lasting activity in monkeys, with a subcutaneous peak inhibition value of over 100 times that of T-20, and a venous peak inhibition value of over 2000 times that of T-20. LP-19 inhibited peak serum maximal dilutions 66-fold and 40-fold, respectively, even at 60 and 72 hours of subcutaneous injection, similar to the performance of T-20 at 2 and 4 hours.
Example 5 analysis of the Structure of LP-19 and its interaction with NHR target sequences
5.1 Experimental materials and methods
Secondary structure and helix stability (Tm value) of polypeptides were determined using Circular Dichroism (CD), experimental method reference [14 ]. The circular dichroism instrument is Jasco-815 produced by Nissan products. The self-helix content and Tm of LP-19 and its template 2P23 were first determined at different concentrations (20, 40, 80, 160, and 320. mu.M, respectively). Then, the helix content and Tm value of 6-HB formed by LP-19 or 2P23 and NHR polypeptide N36(Ac-SGIVQQQNNLLRAIEAQQHLLQLTVWGIKQLQARIL-NH2) were determined. 2P23, LP-19 and N36 were each dissolved in phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2) and the concentration was determined by UV absorption at 280 nm. And judging the interaction condition and the helix content among the polypeptides according to the CD signals. The stability of the hexahelix structure formed by the polypeptide inhibitor with N36 was determined by CD temperature scanning.
5.2 Experimental results and analysis
The CD test results are shown in FIG. 9. first, unmodified polypeptide 2P23 as a control contains a typical α -helix structure (A in FIG. 9) with helix contents of 76.4%, 81.4%, 83.8%, 84% and 79.7% at 20 μ M, 40 μ M, 80 μ M, 160 μ M and 320 μ M concentrations, respectively, and Tm values of 48.1 deg.C, 54.7 deg.C, 59.9 deg.C and 67.8 deg.C (B in FIG. 9) at 20 μ M, 40 μ M, 80 μ M and 160 μ M concentrations, respectively, when the concentration reaches 320 μ M, its helix is not sufficiently helicated at the measured maximum temperature (98 deg.C) to result in an inaccurate determination of Tm, suggesting a high thermal stability of its helix.A lipopeptide LP-19 at 20 μ M, 40 μ M, 80 μ M, 160 μ M and 320 μ M concentrations, respectively, is 70%, 71.1%, 71.9%, 76.2% and 320 μ M concentrations, respectively, and a further showing a significant increase in the stability of the polypeptide forming a multimer-helix complex (P) as a multimer-multimer structure forming a further increase in the typical helix-helix binding of the polypeptide, which is shown in FIGS. 2P-9, 3. A-9, 2P-9, 3,2, and 3-9. the stability of the highest temperature of the complexes is not significantly increased by comparison of the highest complexes (98. A-9, 3. A-9, 3. A, 3. the exemplary phosphomer.
Example 6 antiviral Activity of LP-19 derived lipopeptides
As can be seen from the results of the above examples, LP-19 lipopeptides have the advantages of broad spectrum, potent and long-lasting activity. Further replacement of palmitic acid in LP-19 with other lipophilic compounds synthesized a new set of lipopeptides (FIG. 1). Wherein LP-20, LP-24 and LP-25 are modified with stearic acid (C18), LP-21 is modified with cholesterol (Chol), LP-22 is modified with dihydro (neuro) sphingosine (Dih), and LP-23 is modified with vitamin E (Toc). At the same time, lipopeptides (LP-26 to LP-32) were synthesized that did not contain PEG8 but instead corresponded to amino acid sequences of different lengths. Their inhibitory activities against HIV-1NL4-3 strain pseudovirus, infectious HIV-2ROD strain and SIV239 strain pseudovirus were examined with reference to antiviral experiments of 3.1.2 and 3.1.3 in example 3. The plasmid for virus production was as described above. The results are shown in FIG. 1, where these lipopeptides all have a very potent antiviral activity. They are effective against both HIV-1 and HIV-2 and SIV.
