The aspartic protease of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV PR) is one of the most extensively studied enzymes known to man. The successful rational design of HIV PIs is one of the most striking examples of structure-based drug design. In this chapter, we will explain why the design of novel, potent PIs is still urgently needed and that derivatives of boron community well known cobalt bis(dicarbollide)(1-) ion [(1,2-C2B9H11)-3,3'-Co(III)](1-) (Hawthorne, 1965, Sivaev 1999) can act as unexpected class of specific HIV PIs. We shall review their activity, specificity, mechanism of action, and binding mode to HIV protease.
