Repositioning for NAFLD: Yes
SMILES: CC(C)CN(C[C@@H](O)[C@H](CC1=CC=CC=C1)NC(=O)O[C@H]1CCOC1)S(=O)(=O)C1=CC=C(N)C=C1
Structure:
InChiKey: YMARZQAQMVYCKC-OEMFJLHTSA-N
Molecular Weight: 505.627
DrugBank Targets: Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 protease
DrugBank MoA: Amprenavir inhibits the HIV viral proteinase enzyme which prevents cleavage of the gag-pol polyprotein, resulting in noninfectious, immature viral particles.
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 Indication: For the treatment of HIV-1 infection in combination with other antiretroviral agents.
