HIV Protease

HIV protease, a homodimeric aspartyl protease, is crucial for the viral life-cycle, cleaving proviral polyproteins, hence creating mature protein components that are required for the formation of an infectious virus. HIV protease cleaves newly synthesized polyproteins at the appropriate places to create the mature protein components of an infectious HIV virion. HIV protease is a critical drug target in designing anti-retroviral drugs to treat HIV/AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome).

HIV-1 protease permits viral maturation by processing the Gag and Gag-Pro-Pol polyproteins. It recognizes and cleaves more than 12 different substrates leading to viral maturation. Similar to that of HIV-1, HIV-2 protease is also a homodimeric aspartyl enzyme that plays a vital role in the HIV life-cycle through processing of Gag and Gag-Pro-Pol precursor polyproteins leading to viral maturation.

    ddCTP tetrasodium
    Inhibitor
    ddCTP tetrasodium is a type of chain-terminating deoxynucleotide. ddCTP tetrasodium can be incorporated into the extension primer chain that lacks the 3'-hydroxyl group, thereby terminating primer extension, viral genome replication, and DNA synthesis. ddCTP tetrasodium can distinguish almost identical RNA through distinguishable extension products in primer extension inhibition experiments. ddCTP tetrasodium is the active metabolite of Zalcitabine (HY-17392), which can competitively inhibit HIV reverse transcriptase, terminate the synthesis of viral DNA chains, and thereby inhibit HIV replication.

    Fosamprenavir-13C6
    Inhibitor
    Fosamprenavir-13C6 is the 13C-labeled Fosamprenavir (HY-78726). Fosamprenavir is an orally active inhibitor targeting HIV-1 protease and is a prodrug of Amprenavir (HY-17430). Fosamprenavir is hydrolyzed into Amprenavir (VX-478) by cell phosphatases in the intestinal epithelium. Amprenavir binds to the active site of HIV-1 protease, preventing the processing of viral gag and gag-pol polyprotein precursors, thereby inhibiting the formation of mature infectious virus particles and exerting anti-HIV-1 infection activity. Fosamprenavir can be used for the study of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) infection.
