Future HIV treatment?
Most of AntiRetroviral treatment for HIV today do not block the entry point of HIV into white blood cell. I still remember, when they first try to design a drug for HIV, the effort failed miserably. What they did was , engineering CD4 molecules in the hope that the HIV virus would be cheated and bind to the “fake” one. Eventhough we know HIV better than any other virus in history we still failed . Video of HIV life cycle after the jump.
Now a future drug,Cyclotriazadisulfonamide (CADA) would be able to block the entry point to CD4 cells. What they found now, If u treat a patient with CADA for 1/2 day then the CD4 receptor is almost gone. Impressive! The future key of this treatment could be a holy grail in a decades battle to beat HIV. Yep, it maybe used to prevent people from being infected. ermmm , maybe later they can develop an implantable CADA for people with high risk for HIV?
