Hepatitis C: Boceprevir
Hepatitis C: Telaprevir
Given the specificity of the target of these drugs there is the risk, as in antibiotics, of the
development of drug-resistant mutated viruses. To reduce this risk it is common to use several
different drugs together that are each aimed at different targets.

Antiretrovirals
Protease inhibitors were the second class of antiretroviral drugs developed. In all cases,
patents remain in force until 2010 or beyond.

Antiprotozoal Activity
Researchers are investigating the use of protease inhibitors developed for HIV treatment as
anti-protozoals for use against malaria and gastrointestinal protozoal infections:
The drugs saquinavir, ritonavir, and lopinavir have been found to have anti-malarial
properties.[8]
A cysteine protease inhibitor drug was found to cure Chagas disease in mice.[9]
Anticancer Activity
Researchers are investigating whether protease inhibitors could possibly be used to treat
cancer. For example, nelfinavir and atazanavir are able to kill tumor cells in culture (in a Petri
dish).[10][11] This effect has not yet been examined in humans; but studies in laboratory mice
have shown that nelfinavir is able to suppress the growth of tumors in these animals, which
represents a promising lead towards testing this drug in humans as well.[11]
Inhibitors of the proteasome, such as Velcade/Bortezomib are now front-line drugs for the
treatment of various cancers, notably Multiple Myeloma.
