BeschreibungViracept was launched in the US as an orally-available, non-peptidic HIV protease inhibitor. It is prepared in an eight step synthesis beginning with N- (benzyloxycarbonyl)-L-serine β-lactone. The HIV protease inhibitory activity blocks the processing of gag and gagpol polyproteins that are required for viral maturation. It was discovered based on an experimentally derived 3D-structure of HIV-1 protease. Viracept has a high oral bioavailability, lacks toxicity, and has a resistance profile different from other protease inhibitors. Viracept with ziduvudine and larnivudine generated a 98% mean reduction from baseline in viral load after 24 weeks compared to ziduvudine and larnivudine alone. Viracept also had better CD4 counts and is available in adult and pediatric formulations.
