Description
  • Nelfinavir is an orally bioavailable competitive inhibitor of the human immunodeficiency virus. It potently inhibits HIV-1 (Ki=2nM) and HIV-2 protease in vitro. HIV-1 protease is important for the replication of the virus within the cell and the release of mature viral particles from the infected cell.
  • Formulations containing nelfinavir have been used in combination with HIV reverse transcriptase inhibitors for the treatment of AIDS.
  • Nelfinavir shows other antimicrobial and antiviral activity. It inhibits maturation and export of the Herpes Simplex 1 virus and the Kaposi's Sarcoma virus, replication of SARS-CoV and also replication of SARS-CoV-2, cause for the epidemic COVID-19.
  • Has potent anti-cancer activity against a broad selection fo cancer cell types. Shown to induce apoptosis, autophagy, cell cycle arrest and endoplasmic reticulum stress, which consequently leads to cancer cell death. Shown to inhibit the Akt/PKB signaling pathway.
  • It acts as an antifibrotic agent and is used to treat pulmonary fibrosis in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) and reduces inflammation by activating protein phosphatase 2 (PP-2) and blocking mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) signaling in macrophages.
  • It has also shown pan-proteasome inhibition in AMO-1 and U266 myeloma cells.
