ABSTRACT:
Described herein are oligopeptides useful to inhibit replication in virally infected individuals. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the oligopeptide is a D-arginine nonamer having N- and C-terminal protecting groups, which, at a 3 uM concentration, exhibits greater than 95% inhibition of HIV replication, in a standard assay.
