Biochem/physiol Actions

Bevirimat is the first in class HIV maturation inhibitor. It acts by inhibiting the processing of the Gag capsid (CA)/spacer peptide 1 (SP1), which causes accumulation of CA/SP1 (p25) precursor proteins and blocks maturation of the viral core particle.
It also causes defective core condensation and releases the non-infectious virus particles from cells infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Thus, bevirimat blocks the spread of HIV infection to other cells.

Bevirimat [3-O-(3',3'-dimethylsuccinyl)betulinic acid] is the first in a new class of anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) drugs that inhibit viral maturation by specifically blocking cleavage of the Gag capsid (CA) precursor, CA-SP1, to mature CA protein, resulting in defective core condensation

HIV-1 maturation inhibitors (MIs) disrupt the final step in the HIV-1 protease-mediated cleavage of the Gag polyprotein between capsid p24 capsid (CA) and spacer peptide 1 (SP1), leading to the production of infectious virus. BMS-955176 is a second generation MI

Bevirimat, the prototype Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 (HIV-1) maturation inhibitor, is highly potent in cell culture and efficacious in HIV-1 infected patients. In contrast to inhibitors that target the active site of the viral protease, bevirimat specifically inhibits a
