This is an antiviral drug used to treat HIV by inhibiting proteases in the virus. This inhibition causes the spread of the virus to decrease significantly. The is an enzyme that the virus uses to produce the proteins necessary to assemble more viruses. The common name for saqinavir is fortovase. It functions as peptide-like analogue that binds to the protein and causes inhibition by preventing the protease from cleaving polyproteins which in turn causes the virus to create non-infectious virus particles.
