Structure:
DrugBank Description: A potent and specific HIV protease inhibitor that appears to have good oral bioavailability. [PubChem]
CAS Number: 150378-17-9
Molecular Weight: 613.7895
DrugBank Indication: Indinavir is an antiretroviral drug for the treatment of HIV infection.
DrugBank Pharmacology: Indinavir 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. Indinavir 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: Indinavir inhibits the HIV viral protease enzyme which prevents cleavage of the gag-pol polyprotein, resulting in noninfectious, immature viral particles.
Targets: Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 protease
Inclusion Criteria:
