An inhibitor of the protease blocks maturation of human and simian immunodeficiency viruses and spread of infection.
1 Oct 1990
Abstract excerpt
The activity of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) protease is essential for processing of the gag-pol precursor proteins and maturation of infectious virions. We have prepared a peptidomimetic inhibitor, U-75875, that inhibited HIV-1 gag-pol protein processing in an essentially irreversible manner. Noninfectious virus particles produced in the presence of the drug contained gag precursors and were...
