Nirmatrelvir (drug development code: PF-07321332), is a potent and selective peptidomimetic inhibitor of the SARS-CoV-2 3-chymotrypsin like protease, a virally encoded enzyme that is critical to the SARS-CoV-2 replication cycle.

2 Ritonavir
UNII O3J8G9O825 - RITONAVIR

Ritonavir is an orally active peptidomimetic inhibitor of the HIV-1 and HIV-2 aspartyl proteases. Inhibition of HIV protease renders the enzyme incapable of processing the gag-pol polyprotein precursor which leads to the production of HIV particles with immature morphology that are unable to initiate new rounds of infection. Ritonavir has selective affinity for the HIV protease and has little inhibitory activity against human aspartyl proteases. Pharmacokinetic enhancement by ritonavir is based on ritonavir’s activity as a potent inhibitor of CYP3A-mediated metabolism.
