Rational Design of HIV-1 Entry Inhibitors

This chapter reviews studies that have used in silico techniques to design or identify potential HIV-1 entry inhibitors targeting cellular receptors CD4, CCR5, and CXCR4 and envelope glycoproteins, gp120 and gp41 of HIV-1. Both structure- and ligand-based design techniques have been used in those studies by applying diverse modeling techniques such as quantitative structure–activity relationship analysis, conformational analysis, molecular dynamics, pharmacophore generation, docking, virtual screening (using docking software and also shape-based ROCS techniques), and fragment-based design.
