C5A is a microbicidal peptide that targets and inhibits both hepatitis C virus (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). By disrupting the membrane integrity of the HIV virion and affecting the conical capsid core that encases the viral genome, C5A significantly reduces the infectivity of a wide range of HIV isolates in various primary target cells in vitro. Additionally, studies have demonstrated that C5A offers protective effects in mice against vaginal and rectal challenges with HIV, highlighting its potential utility in antiviral research applications.
