Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The anti-HIV agent cosalane inhibits both the binding of gp120 to CD4 as well as an undefined postattachment event prior to reverse transcription. Several cosalane analogues having an extended polyanionic 'pharmacophore' were designed based on a hypothetical model of the binding of cosalane to CD4. The analogues were synthesized, and a number of them displayed anti-HIV activity. One of the new analogues was found to possess enhanced potency as an anti-HIV agent relative to cosalane itself. Although the new analogues inhibited both HIV-1 and HIV-2, they were more potent as inhibitors of HIV-1 than HIV-2. Mechanism of action studies indicated that the most potent of the new analogues inhibited fusion of the viral envelope with the cell membrane at lower concentrations than it inhibited attachment, suggesting inhibition of fusion as the primary mechanism of action.
