UsesKynostatin 272 (KNI 272) is a potent HIV protease inhibitor. Kynostatin 272 inhibits the activity of the HIV protease by simulating the substrate transition state of the HIV protease, thus preventing a key step in the replication of the HIV virus. Kynostatin 272 provides an important research foundation for the development of drugs for HIV and AIDS[1][2].
