HIV Drug Discovery and Research

The most advanced HIV treatments seeks to inhibit the virus’ ability to replicate its RNA and produce more copies of itself.  HIV protease (an enzyme that cleaves and processes viral precursor proteins letting virion maturation). Treatment regimens containing combinations of reverse transcriptase and protease inhibitors, very often known as Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART), it revolutionized the treatment of people with HIV by markedly reducing viral load and decreasing the incidence of AIDS-associated opportunistic infections. Many patients receiving HAART nevertheless experience metabolic abnormalities and drug toxicities, have difficulty adhering to the complex drug regimens, and grow strains of HIV resistant to therapy.
