The HIV-1 Nef accessory factor promotes viral replication and immune escape of HIV-infected cells, making it an attractive drug target. Our team previously identified small molecules that bind directly to Nef and suppress HIV-1 replication in vitro. These compounds also reverse Nef-mediated MHC-I downregulation in latently infected CD4+ T cells, enabling recognition and killing by autologous ...
