Application
Ritonavir has been used:as a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) protease inhibitor to study its effects on placental endocrine functionas an HIV protease inhibitor to study its effects on reduction of tetrazolium dye in human embryonic kidney cellsas an organicaniontransportingpolypeptide (OATP) inhibitor to study its effect on hepatic uptake of bergapten and imperatorin
Biochem/physiol Actions
Ritonavir is an HIV protease inhibitor now used frequently as a booster of other protease inhbitors. Ritonavir inhibits cytochrome P450-3A4 (CYP3A4), a liver enzyme that normally metabolizes protease inhibitors. It has also been investigated as a possible anti-cancer agent.
