Details
HCKFWW, potent inhibitor of the HIV-encoded integrase (IN), the enzyme responsible for the integration of HIV DNA into the human genome. HCKFWW inhibits IN-mediated 3'processing and integration with an IC₅₀ of 2 µM. The peptide is also active on IN proteins from other retroviruses such as HIV-2, feline immunodeficiency virus and Moloney murine leukemia virus. It was also found to inhibit the disintegration reaction, suggesting that this hexapeptide acts at or near the catalytic site of IN.
