Protease inhibitor (pharmacology)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Jump to: navigation, search
For natural protease inhibitors, see protease inhibitor (biology).
Protease inhibitors (PIs) are a class of drugs used to treat or prevent infection by viruses,
including HIV and Hepatitis C. PIs prevent viral replication by inhibiting the activity of
proteases, e.g. HIV-1 protease, enzymes used by the viruses to cleave nascent proteins for
final assembly of new virions.
Protease inhibitors have been developed or are presently undergoing testing for treating
various viruses:

HIV/AIDS: antiretroviral protease inhibitors (saquinavir, ritonavir, indinavir,


nelfinavir, amprenavir[1] etc.)

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.

Notes

The FDA approved it April 15,


1999, making it the sixteenth FDAapproved antiretroviral. It was the
first protease inhibitor approved for
twice-a-day dosing instead of
U.S.
needing to be taken every eight
Amprenavir Agenerase GlaxoSmithKline Patent
hours. The convenient dosing came
5,585,397 at a price, as the dose required is
1,200 mg, delivered in eight very
large gel capsules. Production was
discontinued by the manufacturer
December 31, 2004, as it has been
superseded by fosamprenavir.
Is only marketed as a combination,
Lopinavir
Kaletra
Abbott
with ritonavir.
The FDA approved it on June 20,
2003. Atazanavir was the first PI
approved for once-daily dosing. It

lipodystrophy and elevated
cholesterol as side effects. It may
also not be cross-resistant with
other PIs.
Fosamprenavir Lexiva,
GlaxoSmithKline Is a prodrug of amprenavir. The
Telzir
FDA approved it October 20, 2003.
The human body metabolizes
fosamprenavir in order to form
amprenavir, which is the active
ingredient. That metabolization
increases the duration that
amprenavir is available, making
fosamprenavir a slow-release

version of amprenavir and thus


reduces the number of pills required
versus standard amprenavir.
Tipranavir

Darunavir

Aptivus

Prezista

BoehringerIngelheim

Tibotec

Also known as tipranavir disodium

It was approved by the Food and


Drug Administration (FDA) on June
23, 2006. Prezista is an OARAC
recommended treatment option for
treatment-nave and treatmentexperienced adults and adolescents.
[2]
Several ongoing phase III trials
are showing a high efficiency for
the PREZISTA/rtv combination
being superior to the lopinavir/rtv
combination for first-line therapy.[3]
Darunavir is the first drug in a long
time that didn't come with a price
increase. It leapfrogged two other
approved drugs of its type, and is
matching the price of a third.[4][5][6]

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:

A combination of ritonavir and lopinavir was found to have some effectiveness


against Giardia infection.[7]

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.

Side Effects

Protease inhibitors can cause a syndrome of lipodystrophy, hyperlipidaemia, diabetes mellitus


type 2, and kidney stones.[12]
