About Antiretroviral HIV - CD4 Attachment Inhibitors.

Antiretroviral HIV CD4 attachment inhibitors constitute a specialized subclass of HIV entry inhibitors used in the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection.

Represented primarily by fostemsavir, these agents selectively bind to the viral envelope glycoprotein gp120, preventing conformational changes necessary for the virus to attach to the host CD4 receptor and enter immune cells.

Their principal therapeutic role is as part of combination antiretroviral regimens for heavily treatment-experienced adults with multidrug-resistant HIV-1 who have failing current therapy due to resistance, intolerance, or safety considerations.

Because of their novel target, they demonstrate no cross-resistance to other major antiretroviral drug classes.
