4.2 Therapeutic Uses

Receptors, CCR5/antagonists & inhibitors; HIV Fusion Inhibitors

National Library of Medicine's Medical Subject Headings online file (MeSH, 2009)


Maraviroc, in combination with other antiretroviral agents, is indicated for adult patients infected with only CCR5-tropic HIV-1. This indication is based on analyses of plasma HIV-1 RNA levels in two controlled studies of maraviroc in treatment-experienced subjects and one study in treatment-naive subjects. Both studies in treatment-experienced subjects were conducted in clinically advanced, 3-class antiretroviral-experienced (NRTI, NNRTI, PI, or enfuvirtide) adults with evidence of HIV-1 replication despite ongoing antiretroviral therapy. /Included in US product label/

4.3 Drug Warning

/BOXED WARNING/ Hepatotoxicity has been reported with maraviroc use. Evidence of a systemic allergic reaction (e.g., pruritic rash, eosinophilia or elevated IgE) prior to the development of hepatotoxicity may occur. Patients with signs or symptoms of hepatitis or allergic reaction following use of maraviroc should be evaluated immediately.

Tropism testing must be conducted with a highly sensitive tropism assay that has demonstrated the ability to identify patients appropriate for Maraviroc use. Outgrowth of pre-existing low-level CXCR4- or dual/mixed-tropic HIV-1 not detected by tropism testing at screening has been associated with virologic failure on Maraviroc.

5.6 Metabolism/Metabolites

In vitro studies indicate that CYP3A is the major enzyme responsible for maraviroc metabolism.


Maraviroc is the major circulating component ( approximately 42% drug-related radioactivity) following a single oral dose of 300 mg(14)C-maraviroc. The most significant circulating metabolite in humans is a secondary amine (approximately 22% radioactivity) formed by N-dealkylation. This polar metabolite has no significant pharmacological activity. Other metabolites are products of mono-oxidation and are only minor components of plasma drug-related radioactivity.

US Natl Inst Health; DailyMed. Current Medication Information for SELZENTRY (maraviroc) tablet, film coated (May 2010). Available from, as of February 21, 2012: https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=a94a9a2b-337b-4c13-8622-fc392194dc21


Studies in humans and in vitro studies using human liver microsomes and expressed enzymes have demonstrated that maraviroc is principally metabolized by the cytochrome P450 system to metabolites that are essentially inactive against HIV-1. In vitro studies indicate that CYP3A is the major enzyme responsible for maraviroc metabolism. In vitro studies also indicate that polymorphic enzymes CYP2C9, CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 do not contribute significantly to the metabolism of maraviroc.

5.8 Mechanism of Action

Maraviroc is an entry inhibitor and works by blocking HIV from entering human cells. Specifically maraviroc is a selective, slowly reversible, small molecule antagonist of the interaction between human CCR5 and HIV-1 gp120. Maraviroc selectively binds to the human chemokine receptor CCR5 present on the membrane of CD4 cells (T-cells), preventing the interaction of HIV-1 gp120 and CCR5 necessary for CCR5-tropic HIV-1 to enter cells.


Maraviroc, a synthetic antiretroviral agent, is an HIV entry inhibitor. The drug is a small molecule CCR5 antagonist. HIV enters host cells by attaching to the CD4+ T-cell receptor using 1 of 2 chemokine co-receptors, CCR5 or CXCR4. Maraviroc selectively binds to CCR5 on the cell membrane and prevents the interaction of HIV-1 glycoprotein 120 and CCR5 necessary for CCR5-tropic HIV-1 to enter cells. Maraviroc does not inhibit entry of CXCR4-tropic and dual/mixed-tropic HIV-1 into cells. CCR5 is a co-receptor for the most commonly transmitted HIV-1 strains that predominate during the early stages of infection; this form remains the dominant form in many patients with late-stage infection. Maraviroc is active against some strains of HIV-1 resistant to nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), HIV protease inhibitors (PIs), and HIV entry and fusion inhibitors (enfuvirtide). HIV-1 strains with reduced susceptibility to maraviroc have been produced in vitro and have emerged during maraviroc therapy.

American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2011; Drug Information 2011. Bethesda, MD. 2011, p. 654


Maraviroc is a member of a therapeutic class called CCR5 co-receptor antagonists. Maraviroc selectively binds to the human chemokine receptor CCR5 present on the cell membrane, preventing the interaction of HIV-1 gp120 and CCR5 necessary for CCR5-tropic HIV-1 to enter cells. CXCR4-tropic and dual-tropic HIV-1 entry is not inhibited by maraviroc.

Maraviroc inhibits the replication of CCR5-tropic laboratory strains and primary isolates of HIV-1 in models of acute peripheral blood leukocyte infection. The mean EC50 value (50% effective concentration) for maraviroc against HIV-1 group M isolates (subtypes A to J and circulating recombinant form AE) and group O isolates ranged from 0.1 to 4.5 nM (0.05 to 2.3 ng/mL) in cell culture. ... Maraviroc was not active against CXCR4-tropic and dual-tropic viruses (EC50 value >10 uM). The antiviral activity of maraviroc against HIV-2 has not been evaluated.

Maraviroc (MVC, Celsentri) is an allosteric and reversible inhibitor of the CCR5 chemokine coreceptor. ... MVC exclusively inhibits the replication of R5- tropic HIV-1 variants after binding to the transmembrane CCR5 receptor cavity.
