Werkingsmechanisme
Enfuvirtid
Enfuvirtide binds the first heptad-repeat region (HR1) of the gp41 subunit of the HIV envelope protein. This prevents the conformational change required for fusion of the viral and cell membranes — the virus cannot enter the cell.
Icatibant
Icatibant competitively blocks the bradykinin B2 receptor. Because bradykinin mediates the vascular permeability, swelling and pain typical of hereditary angioedema, the blockade interrupts the acute attack.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between Enfuvirtid and Icatibant?
- Enfuvirtid is classified as "Onderzoek (overig)", while Icatibant is classified as "Onderzoek (overig)". Enfuvirtid: Enfuvirtide is a synthetic 36-amino-acid peptide and the first HIV-1 fusion inhibitor. It binds the HR1 region of the viral envelope protein gp41, blocking viral entry into the cell. Approved for treatment-experienced HIV patients. Icatibant: Icatibant is a synthetic decapeptide and selective antagonist of the bradykinin B2 receptor. It is approved to treat acute attacks of hereditary angioedema (HAE). This page contrasts both neutrally and source-based — with no usage or dosing recommendation.
- Which peptide is better supported by science, Enfuvirtid or Icatibant?
- The highest available evidence level is "Humane RCT" for Enfuvirtid and "Humane RCT" for Icatibant. A higher evidence level means more robust data, but says nothing about suitability for an individual. The full body of evidence is on each peptide's own page.
- What is the legal status of Enfuvirtid and Icatibant in Germany and the United States?
- Duitsland: Enfuvirtid — Op recept, Icatibant — Op recept. Verenigde Staten: Enfuvirtid — Op recept, Icatibant — Op recept. These are factual summaries with source and review date on the individual pages.
