    blocks HIV entry into cells by targeting the CCR5 receptor

    A CCR5 antagonist, also known as a CCR5 inhibitor or CCR5 blocker, is a type of drug that blocks the CCR5 receptor on the surface of certain cells. This receptor is used by HIV to enter and infect human cells. By blocking CCR5, these drugs can help prevent HIV from spreading within the body, making them an important tool in the treatment of HIV/AIDS.
