PF-3450074 (also known as PF74) is a HIV-1 capsid-targeting small molecule antiviral compound which directly binds to the capsid (CA) protein at a site also utilized by host cell proteins CPSF6 and NUP153. The RNA genome of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is enclosed in a cone-shaped capsid shell that disassembles following cell entry via a process known as uncoating. During HIV-1 infection, the capsid is important for reverse transcription and entry of the virus into the target cell nucleus. The small molecule PF74 inhibits HIV-1 infection at early stages by binding to the capsid and perturbing uncoating.

PF-3450074, also known as PF-74, demonstrates antiviral properties against the HIV T107N mutant and HIV wild type NL4-3, with EC50 values of 4.5μM and 0.72μM, respectively[1]. In primary human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), PF-3450074 (PF-74) exhibits good potency, inhibiting HIV-193RW025, HIV-1JR-CSF, and HIV-193MW965 with IC50 values of 1.5 ± 0.9 μM, 0.6 ± 0.20 μM, and 0.6 ± 0.10 μM, respectively. The median IC50 and CC50 values for this compound are 0.9 ± 0.5 μM and 90.5 ± 5.9 μM, respectively[1]. Derived similarly to NUP153, the KD for the interaction between PF-74 and the CA hexamer is found to be 176 ± 78 nM[1]. PF-3450074 (PF-74) (10 μM; 8 hours) significantly lowers the late products of reverse transcription in stocks of DNase I-treated Env-defective HIV-1 (R9.Env-) in HeLa-P4 cells[2]. |
