Maraviroc (brand-named Selzentry, or Celsentri outside the U.S.) is a chemokine receptor antagonist drug developed by the drug company Pfizer that is designed to act against HIV by interfering with the interaction between HIV and CCR5. It was originally labelled as UK-427857 during development but was assigned the Maraviroc name as it entered trials. It was approved for use by the FDA in August, 2007.
Maraviroc is indicated in combination with other antiretroviral agents for the treatment of CCR5-tropic HIV-1 infection in adults and pediatric patients weighing at least 2kg. It is not recommended in patients with dual/mixed- or CXCR4-tropic HIV-1.
