Safety Data Sheet (SDS)
Biological target:
Ritonavir is a HIV protease inhibitor and a SARS-CoV 3CLpro inhibitor with an IC50 of 1.61 μM.
In vitro activity:
Stimuli-sensitive nanomicelles along with hyaluronic acid targeting and ritonavir addition can effectively serve as a chemotherapeutic drug delivery agent for metastatic breast cancer and triple-negative breast cancer. Reference: Int J Mol Sci. 2021 Jan 27;22(3):1257. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33513992/
In vivo activity:
Nirmatrelvir plus ritonavir reduced the overall risk for hospitalization or death after an outpatient diagnosis of COVID-19. Recipients of nirmatrelvir plus ritonavir had lower risk for hospitalization (adjusted risk ratio, 0.60 [CI, 0.44 to 0.81]) and death (adjusted risk ratio, 0.29 [CI, 0.12 to 0.71]).
