The HIV-1 capsid protein (CA) plays a crucial role in viral replication by orchestrating nuclear entry through interactions with host nuclear pore complexes (NPCs).<\/p>\n<p>Recent research has revealed that HIV-1 CA actively disrupts NPC architecture via phenylalanine-<a href=\"https:\/\/www.news-medical.net\/health\/What-is-Glycine.aspx\" class=\"linked-term\">glycine<\/a> (FG)-repeat nucleoporin interactions, thereby enabling nuclear translocation of viral components. This mechanistic insight has driven the development of lenacapavir, the first-in-class CA inhibitor approved for multidrug-resistant HIV-1.<\/p>\n<p>Lenacapavir competitively blocks CA-NPC binding, stabilizes cytoplasmic capsids, disrupts viral maturation, and demonstrates pan-stage antiviral <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news-medical.net\/health\/What-Does-Efficacy-Mean.aspx\" class=\"linked-term\">efficacy<\/a> and long-acting pharmacokinetics. Clinical trials have indicated its 100% prophylactic efficacy and potential to decrease global HIV incidence.
