In the case of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, polyanionic carbosilane dendrimers have shown great potential as antiviral agents in the development of novel microbicides to prevent the sexual transmission of HIV-1. In this work, we studied the mechanism of two sulfated and naphthylsulfonated functionalized carbosilane dendrimers, G3-S16 and G2-NF16. They are able to inhibit viral infection at fusion and thus at the entry step. Both compounds impede the binding of viral particles to target cell surface and membrane fusion through the blockage of gp120–CD4 interaction. In addition, and for the first time, we demonstrate that dendrimers can inhibit cell-to-cell HIV transmission and difficult infectious synapse formation. Thus, carbosilane dendrimers’ mode of action is a multifactorial process targeting several proteins from viral envelope and from host cells that could block HIV infection at different stages during the first step of infection.Keywords: carbosilane dendrimer, HIV, mechanism, microbicide, nanotechnologyVacas-Córdoba EMaly MDe la Mata FJGómez RPion MMuñoz-Fernández MADove Medical Pressarticlecarbosilane dendrimerHIVmechanismmicrobicidenanotechnologyMedicine (General)R5-920ENInternational Journal of Nanomedicine, Vol 2016, Iss default, Pp 1281-1294 (2016) |
