Chinese researchers eye anti-AIDS gel: molecule seems to block HIV from entering human cells
Chinese researchers said Monday they have discovered an HIV-blocking agent that could be developed into a gel to limit the sexual transmission of AIDS.
Scientists from Hong Kong University said joint research with Shanghai Target drug Co., Nanjing University and City University of Hong Kong had discovered a molecule that blocks HIV from entering human cells.
Zhiwei Chen, director of the AIDS Institute of the University of Hong Kong Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine, said the potency of the TD-0680 molecule against sexually transmitted HIV was "encouraging."
The new molecule could be developed into a microbicide gel to "prevent HIV sexual transmission" by killing off the virus as it tries to enter the body.
