This form inhibits replication of kinetoplastid DNA which is for trypanosomas lethal.

Nevertheless, due to their ability to inhibit DNA transcription and replication, other similar toxins are also used in chemotherapy to inhibit rapidly growing cancer cells.

Some viruses can also remain dormant in the body without replicating, thereby avoiding drugs that inhibit replication.

These are thought to be due to defective DNA synthesis inhibiting replication in a site with a high turnover of cells.

Polysaccharides from the lichen have been shown to inhibit replication of the HIV virus in laboratory tests.

Researchers believed that viral RNA produced by transgenes could also inhibit viral replication.

Interferons are a component of innate immunity involved in inhibiting viral replication in a host cell, as well as activating immune cells.

They inhibit viral replication of the Protein kinase C and virus-induced cellular fusion.

Fusidic acid inhibits bacterial replication and does not kill the bacteria, and is therefore termed bacteriostatic.

It inhibits replication of the HIV-1 virus.
