antiproteases
Protein-breakdown preventers
Antiproteases are substances that inhibit proteases—enzymes that break down proteins.
The body produces natural antiproteases to regulate protein digestion and prevent tissue damage.
In medicine, antiprotease drugs treat conditions where excessive protease activity causes harm, including HIV infection, where protease inhibitors block viral replication: The patient was prescribed antiproteases as part of their HIV treatment regimen.
