MSH: Compounds which inhibit or antagonize biosynthesis or actions of proteases (ENDOPEPTIDASES).,CSP: any substance or agent which suppresses, prevents or opposes the actions or biosynthesis of proteases.,NCI: A compound that interferes with the ability of certain enzymes to break down proteins. Some protease inhibitors can keep a virus from making copies of itself (for example, AIDS virus protease inhibitors), and some can prevent cancer cells from spreading.,NCI: Any substance that inhibits a protease, an enzyme that breaks peptide bonds.
