– VZMC013 is a potent chemical probe targeting the MOR-CCR5 heterodimer, effectively inhibiting HIV-1 entry exacerbated by opioid compounds. It exhibits nanomolar binding affinity to both MOR and CCR5, inhibits CCL5-activated calcium mobilization, and significantly enhances anti-HIV-1BaL activity compared to previously reported bivalent ligands. In TZM-bl cells co-expressing CCR5 and MOR, VZMC013 demonstrates greater inhibition of viral infection than in cells expressing only CCR5. Additionally, VZMC013 blocks HIV-1 entry into peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in a concentration-dependent manner and more effectively inhibits opioid-accelerated HIV-1 entry in phytohemagglutinin-activated PBMC than in opioid-free environments.
