- Mechanism of action
Tifuvirtide binds to a slightly different region of the HIV virus than Fuzeon (enfuvirtide). As a result,it exhibits activity against Fuzeon-resistant viruses. Tifuvirtide is designed to block fusion of HIV with host cells before the virus enters the cell and begins its replication process.
