text:
VIR-576 is an experimental drug that is under clinical trials for the treatment of HIV-1 infections. VIR-576 is synthetic peptide that binds to HIV-1's hydrophobic fusion peptide gp41, preventing the virus from inserting itself into a host cell's membrane to initiate an infection. This drug is a synthesized variant of a highly specific natural entry inhibitor designated as VIRIP. The design of VIR-576 was based on VIRIP which in turn was discovered in 2007 by Frank Kirchhoff and coworkers. This
