Ganodermanondiol is a melanogenesis inhibitor isolated from the Ganoderma lucidum[1].Ganodermanondiol exhibits potent cytoprotective effects on tert-butyl hydroperoxide-induced hepatotoxicity[2]. Ganodermanondiol shows significant anti-HIV-1 protease activity with an IC50 of 90 μM[3]. Ganodermanondiol exhibits a strong anticomplement activity against the classical pathway of the complement system with an IC50 of 41.7μM[4].
Hinokinin (Compound 1) is a compound isolated from the stems of Hypoestes aristate. Hinokinin exhibits moderate activity of HIV-1 protease enzyme[1].
Des(benzylpyridyl) Atazanavir is a metabolite of Atazanavir, which is a HIV protease inhibitor. Des(benzylpyridyl) Atazanavir can be used for the research of HIV-1 infection[1].
Saquinavir(Ro 31-8959) is an HIV Protease inhibitor used in antiretroviral therapy. IC50 Value: Target: HIV ProteaseSaquinavir is a protease inhibitor. Proteases are enzymes that cleave protein molecules into smaller fragments. HIV protease is vital for both viral replication within the cell and release of mature viral particles from an infected cell. Saquinavir binds to the active site of the viral protease and prevents cleavage of viral polyproteins, preventing maturation of the virus. Saquinavir inhibits both HIV-1 and HIV-2 proteases.Studies have also looked at Saquinavir as a possible anti-cancer agent.
Nelfinavir-d3 (AG1341-d3) is the deuterium labeled Nelfinavir. Nelfinavir (AG-1341) is a potent and orally bioavailable HIV-1 protease inhibitor (Ki=2 nM) for HIV infection. Nelfinavir is a broad-spectrum, anticancer agent[1][2][3].
Acetyl-binankadsurin A (compound 5) is a lignan isolated from Kadsura longipedunculata. Acetyl-binankadsurin A has low inhibitory activity against HIV-1 protease, with IC50 >100 μg/mL[1].
