Bioactivity | Vif-ElonginC interaction inhibitor 1 (compound VEC-5) is a potent Vif inhibitor. Vif-ElonginC interaction inhibitor 1 can restrict HIV-1 in Vif-nonpermissive cells. Vif-ElonginC interaction inhibitor 1 can protect A3G, APOBEC3C (A3C), and APOBEC3F (A3F) from Vif-mediated degradation and drastically inhibit Vif function through blocking the interaction between Vif and ElonginC. Vif-ElonginC interaction inhibitor 1 enhances A3G incorporation into HIV-1 virions to reduce viral infectivity[1]. |
