Nelfinavir mesylate Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Description

Viracept was launched in the US as an orally-available, non-peptidic HIV protease inhibitor. It is prepared in an eight step synthesis beginning with N- (benzyloxycarbonyl)-L-serine β-lactone. The HIV protease inhibitory activity blocks the processing of gag and gagpol polyproteins that are required for viral maturation. It was discovered based on an experimentally derived 3D-structure of HIV-1 protease. Viracept has a high oral bioavailability, lacks toxicity, and has a resistance profile different from other protease inhibitors. Viracept with ziduvudine and larnivudine generated a 98% mean reduction from baseline in viral load after 24 weeks compared to ziduvudine and larnivudine alone. Viracept also had better CD4 counts and is available in adult and pediatric formulations.

Chemical Properties

White Powder

Originator

Agouron (US)

Uses

Nelfinavir Mesylate is an antiviral. HIV protease inhibitor. It is a COVID19-related research product.

Definition

ChEBI: A methanesulfonate (mesylate) salt prepared from equimolar amounts of nelfinavir and methanesulfonic acid. It is used for treatment of HIV and also exhibits some anticancer properties.

brand name

Viracept (Agouron).

Biological Activity

Orally active human immunodeficiency virus protease inhibitor. Potently inhibits HIV-1 protease (K i = 2 nM) in vitro .

Biochem/physiol Actions

Nelfinavir mesylate hydrate, also known as AG1343, is used as a therapeutic agent for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). It acts as an antifibrotic agent and is used to treat pulmonary fibrosis in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). In addition, nelfinavir mesylate hydrate reduces inflammation by activating protein phosphatase 2 (PP-2) and blocking mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) signaling in macrophages. It also stimulate autophagy and exhibit anti-cancer property.

Synthesis

Methanesulfonic acid (8.46 g, 88 mmol) was slowly added to (3S,4aS,8aS)-N-(tert-butyl)-2-((2R,3R)-2-hydroxy-3-(3-hydroxy-2-methylbenzamido)-4-(phenylthio)butyl)decahydroisoquinoline-3-carboxamide (50 g, 88 mmol) in acetone ( 400 ml) suspension with continuous stirring until a clarified solution was formed. The reaction mixture was continued to be stirred at 20-25 °C for 2 h. The precipitated product was subsequently collected by filtration and washed with acetone (100 ml). The resulting solid was dried under reduced pressure at 70-75 °C until the weight loss (LOD) reached -8% w/w, resulting in 57.5 g (98% yield) of (3S,4aS,8aS)-N-(tert-butyl)-2-((2R,3R)-2-hydroxy-3-(3-hydroxy-2-methylbenzamido)-4-(phenylthio)butyl)decahydroisoquinoline-3- formamide methanesulfonate, the purity of which was analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to be greater than 99.5%, and its crystalline form was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD).

storage

Store at +4°C
