PHYSIOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES

Product Description

Saquinavir is a potent HIV-1 protease inhibitor (PI) used in combination antiretroviral therapy (ART). It is typically formulated as Saquinavir Mesylate, a more stable and bioavailable salt form. It is an essential second-line ART drug in many HIV treatment programs worldwide.

How Saquinavir Works

Saquinavir inhibits the HIV protease enzyme responsible for: Cleaving viral polyproteins; Maturing viral particles; Enabling viral infectivity. By blocking protease, Saquinavir prevents the formation of mature, infectious HIV particles, reducing viral load significantly. Saquinavir is typically co-administered with Ritonavir to boost bioavailability through CYP3A4 inhibition.
