Abstract
The large-scale commercial production of a 36-amino-acid peptide by chemical synthesis has been demonstrated in the development of enfuvirtide (T-20 or Fuzeon), a first-in-class membrane fusion inhibitor for the treatment of HIV. The rationale behind route selection and the scale-up of the process used to manufacture enfuvirtide are discussed.
