What is another word for Cysteine Protease Inhibitors?
Pronunciation: [sˈɪsta͡ɪn pɹˈə͡ʊte͡ɪs ɪnhˈɪbɪtəz] (IPA) 
Cysteine protease inhibitors, commonly known as CPIs, are compounds that hinder the activity of cysteine proteases, a group of enzymes responsible for various physiological processes. Several synonyms can be used interchangeably to refer to CPIs. They may be called cysteine protease blockers, cysteine protease suppressants, or cysteine protease suppressors, highlighting their ability to impede the action of these enzymes. Other terms like cysteine protease modulators or cysteine protease regulators can also be employed to emphasize the influence CPIs hold over cysteine proteases' functioning. Regardless of the terminology used, these synonyms highlight the importance of CPIs in controlling cysteine protease activity, thus enabling potential therapeutic interventions for various diseases associated with abnormal protease activity.
