  • Peptides for inhibition of HIV infection
    Patent number: 6489449
    Abstract: The present invention relates to peptides that can inhibit the infection of HIV, and more particularly, to peptides consisting of less than 30 amino acids which can introduce a helix capping motif into a peptide derived from C-terminal helical region (its 628-646th amino acid region) of gp41, an envelope glycoprotein of HIV, as well as consisting of the symmetrical bivalent peptide through the introduction of a branched amino acid, Fmoc-Lys(Fmoc)-OH at C-terminus of its peptide, and induce a more stable helical structure thus inhibiting the infection of HIV.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 16, 2001
    Date of Patent: December 3, 2002
    Assignee: Korea Institute of Science and Technology
    Inventors: Yeon Gyu Yu, Key-Sun Kim, Bong-Suk Jin
