Abstract: Zinc finger inhibitors are a class of anti-HIV drugs currently under development and entering clinical trials. The drugs block a part of HIV known as zinc fingers, which help assemble new viruses as they leave an infected cell. Blocking zinc fingers means that HIV makes copies of itself that do not work and cannot infect new cells. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is studying the zinc finger inhibitor, C1-1012.
