Vicriviroc, also known as SCH 417690, MK-7690 and SCH-D, is a potent, orally active and selective CCR5 entry inhibitor of HIV-1 (IC50 = 0.91 nM). Vicriviroc effectively inhibits the initial stages of the virus life cycle. Vicriviroc demonstrated synergistic anti-HIV activity in combination with drugs from all other classes of approved antiretrovirals. Vicriviroc binds with higher affinity to CCR5 than SCH-C. Functional assays, including inhibition of calcium flux, guanosine 5'-[35S]triphosphate exchange, and chemotaxis, confirmed that vicriviroc acts as a receptor antagonist by inhibiting signaling of CCR5 by chemokines. Vicriviroc demonstrated diminished affinity for the human ether a-go-go related gene transcript ion channel compared to SCH-C, suggesting a reduced potential for cardiac effects. Vicriviroc represents a promising new candidate for the treatment of HIV-1 infection.
