Maraviroc, >=98% (HPLC)

Application

Maraviroc has been used as a C-C chemokine receptor type 5 (CCR5-specific) inhibitor in murine monocyte/macrophage cell line J774A.1, porcine uterine luminal epithelial cells and human lung CD4⁺ T cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Maraviroc is metabolised by cytochrome P450 3A4. The transport and absorption of maraviroc in the intestine and bile is regulated by P-glycoprotein (Pgp). Maraviroc binds to the active site pocket of chemokine receptor CCR5 making the receptor inactive.

Maraviroc is a CCR5 chemokine receptor antagonist, and antiretroviral entry inhibitor. Maraviroc inhibits HIV entry by blocking interaction of viral coat protein gp120 with the receptor.
