Description
Lopinavir (Lopikast): The HIV life cycle is divided into three stages: assembly, which involves the production and packaging of essential viral components; budding, which occurs when the viral particle crosses the plasma membrane of the host cell and forms a lipid envelope; and maturation, which occurs when the viral particle changes its structure and becomes infectious. This compound hinders the cycle.
