Saquinavir-d₉ 

Saquinavir-d₉ is the deuterium labeled Saquinavir. Saquinavir(Ro 31-8959) is an HIV Protease inhibitor used in antiretroviral therapy. Saquinavir is also a SARS-CoV 3CLpro inhibitor with an IC50 of 1.36 μM[1][2].

Stable heavy isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, and other elements have been incorporated into drug molecules, largely as tracers for quantitation during the drug development process. Deuteration has gained attention because of its potential to affect the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs^[1].
