Inbec

Indinavir (Inbec) is a protease inhibitor with activity against Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1). These inhibitors block the part of HIV called protease. HIV-1 protease is an enzyme required for the proteolytic cleavage of the viral polyprotein precursors into the individual functional proteins found in infectious HIV-1. Indinavir works to bind to the protease active site and inhibits the activity of the enzyme. Further, this inhibition prevents cleavage of the viral polyproteins resulting in the formation of immature non-infectious viral particles.
