Doctors are close to adding one more powerful ingredient to their antiviral recipe against AIDS, Miraviroc Researchers at Pfizer have developed the first in a new class of compounds that would prevent HIV from entering or infecting a healthy cell. So far, the medications that have saved millions of AIDS patients around the world have thwarted HIV at the end of its reproductive cycle; Pfiezer's compound, a once a day pill called Miraviroc, targets the beginning of the disease process. Now in the last stage of being tested in patients, the compound, in combination with other anti-HIV drugs, could become a significant roadblock in preventing HIV infections from mushrooming into full-blown cases of AIDS.
