<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Since inhibitors modulate the function of enzymes they are often used as drugs. Many such drugs are reversible competitive inhibitors that resemble the enzyme's native substrate, similar to [[methotrexate]] above; other well-known examples include [[statin]]s used to treat high [[cholesterol]], and [[protease inhibitors]] used to treat [[retroviral]] infections such as [[HIV]]. A common example of an irreversible inhibitor that is used as a drug is [[aspirin]], which inhibits the [[Cyclooxygenase|COX-1]] and [[Cyclooxygenase|COX-2]] enzymes that produce the [[inflammation]] messenger [[prostaglandin]]. Other enzyme inhibitors are poisons. For example, the poison [[cyanide]] is an irreversible enzyme inhibitor that combines with the copper and iron in the active site of the enzyme [[cytochrome c oxidase]] and blocks [[cellular respiration]].</div>FuzzyBot
