Crixivan blocks the cleavage of the Gag multi-protein peptide. This inhibition does not allow for the maturation of new viral particles produced from infected cells. Viral particles that do not mature will not be able to infect new cells, lowering the viral load. Protease inhibitors do not have any effect on already infected cells but they do prevent further cell-to-cell transmission of the virus.<ref name="Antimicrobial" /> | Crixivan blocks the cleavage of the Gag multi-protein peptide.
