| DrugBank Description: | Amprenavir is a protease inhibitor used to treat HIV infection. |
| CAS Number: | 161814-49-9 |
| Molecular Weight: | 505.627 |
| DrugBank Indication: | For the treatment of HIV-1 infection in combination with other antiretroviral agents. |
| DrugBank Pharmacology: | Amprenavir is a protease inhibitor with activity against Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1). Protease inhibitors block the part of HIV called protease. HIV-1 protease is an enzyme required for the proteolytic cleavage of the viral polyprotein precursors into the individual functional proteins found in infectious HIV-1. Amprenavir binds to the protease active site and inhibits the activity of the enzyme. This inhibition prevents cleavage of the viral polyproteins resulting in the formation of immature non-infectious viral particles. Protease inhibitors are almost always used in combination with at least two other anti-HIV drugs. |
| DrugBank MoA: | Amprenavir inhibits the HIV viral proteinase enzyme which prevents cleavage of the gag-pol polyprotein, resulting in noninfectious, immature viral particles. |
| Targets: | Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 protease |
