Indinavir (C0376637)

Definition (NCI) A synthetic hydroxyaminopentane amide agent that selectively inhibits the protease of both human immunodeficiency virus 1 and 2. The incorporation of a basic amine into the hydroxyethylene backbone improves its aqueous solubility and its oral bioavailability.
Definition (NCI_NCI-GLOSS) A drug that interferes with the ability of a virus to make copies of itself.
Definition (MSH) A potent and specific HIV protease inhibitor that appears to have good oral bioavailability.
Definition (CSP) potent and specific HIV protease inhibitor that appears to have good oral bioavailability.
