Overview
Ritonavir is a potent HIV-1 protease inhibitor used primarily as a pharmacokinetic booster. Its core synthesis involves asymmetric catalysis and chiral resolution. Molecular Formula: C37H48N6O5S2; CAS No.: 155213-67-5.
Application
- Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Formulation of antiretroviral combination therapies.
- API Production: Boosting plasma concentrations of co-administered protease inhibitors.
- Research & Development: Kinetic studies on cytochrome P450 enzyme interactions.
Precautions
Strict adherence to dosing protocols is required due to significant drug-drug interactions. Store in tightly sealed containers at controlled room temperature (20-25°C) protected from light and moisture.
