Funded Activity Summary

The Design and Synthesis of Inhibitors of Human Immunodeficiency (HIV) Budding. We have a very exciting and revolutionary approach to drug design by exploiting the exquisite potent action of peptides and at the same time overcome their shortcomings as drug candidates in that they are rapidly degraded in the body. We do this by slightly modifying their chemical structure but at the same time maintaining their biological activity. We will apply this new approach to a novel protein target to inhibit one of the main steps in the budding of Human Immunodeficiency (HIV) from infected cells. This unique combination of novel chemistry and drug design target makes this project highly innovative and with enormous potential to accelerate the identification of new drugs for HIV treatment.
