Viral Protein Inhibitors
- Molecular classification
- Small Molecule Inhibitors, Enzyme Inhibitors, Protein-Protein Interaction Inhibitors
01
Overview
Viral protein inhibitors are antiviral agents that target specific proteins crucial for the viral life cycle. These inhibitors disrupt viral replication, assembly, or entry into host cells by blocking the function of essential viral proteins, such as proteases, polymerases, and proteins involved in protein-protein interactions. This class of drugs is significant in treating HIV, Hepatitis C, and COVID-19.
