Abstract

HIV-1 Protease Inhibitors continue to play an important role in the treatment of HIV/AIDS, transforming this deadly ailment into a more manageable chronic Infection. Over the years, intensive research has led to a variety of approved Protease Inhibitors for the treatment of HIV/AIDS. In this review, we outline current drug design and medicinal chemistry efforts toward the development of next-generation Protease Inhibitors beyond the currently approved drugs.
