The HIV protease inhibitor (PI) ritonavir (RTV) has been widely used as a pharmacoenhancer for other PIs, which are substrates of cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A). However the potent anti-HIV activity of ritonavir may limit its use as a pharmacoenhancer with other classes of anti-HIV agents. Ritonavir is also associated with limitations such as poor physicochemical properties. To address these issues a series of compounds with replacements at the P2 and/or P3 region was designed and evaluated as novel CYP3A inhibitors. Through these efforts, a potent and selective inhibitor of CYP3A, GS-9350 (cobicistat) with improved physiochemical properties was discovered.
