Antivirals

Anti-viral; inhibitor of cytomegalovirus-terminase complex

N-Boc-protected -Guanidino Oseltamivir is a fine chemical that belongs to the group of versatile building blocks. It is a complex compound that has been used in research as a reagent and speciality chemical. N-Boc-protected -Guanidino Oseltamivir is an important intermediate for the synthesis of a variety of useful compounds, such as pharmaceuticals and natural products. This compound is also used as a reaction component in organic syntheses, especially for the preparation of high quality and useful scaffolds.

Non-nucleoside inhibitor of reverse transcriptase; anti-viral

Saquinavir is a HIV protease inhibitor drug that is used with other antiretroviral drugs for the treatment of HIV-1. As this drug prevents HIV protease activity, it prevents the proteolysis of the Gag polyprotein and thus results in non-infectious virus particles.

Darunavir is a HIV-1 protease inhibitor used orally in the treatment of patients with multi-drug resistant HIV-1 infection (Ghosh, 2007). It has also been shown to be effective against other infectious diseases such as hepatitis C virus and SARS coronavirus. Metabolized by cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) isoenzymes, darunavir is often administered together with ritonavir that prolongs its bioavaiability, giving a terminal elimination half-life (t1/2) of 15 hours (Back, 2008). The effect of darunavir on natural compounds such as matrix proteins and toll-like receptor activity has also been studied via high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) experiments.

Atazanavir is an antiviral protease inhibitor, used in the anti-retroviral therapy of adult and sometimes paediatric patients infected with HIV. This drug inhibits the processing of viral Gag and Gag-pol polyproteins in HIV-1 infected cells by binding to the HIV-1 protease active site.

Tenofovir is an acyclic nucleoside phosphonate that exhibits anti-viral properties through its inhibition of reverse transcriptases. In particular, Tenofovir is a potent inhibitor of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and chronic Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) reverse transcriptases, thus preventing the replication of genetic viral material. This property is beneficial in virus research areas and developing antiviral treatments. Once inside the body tenofovir is metabolized into its active form, tenofovir diphosphate, by the lysosomal protease cathepsin A, nucleotide kinases and adenylate kinases.
