Abstract:
:Ritonavir, an inhibitor of HIV-1 protease, has been reported to also inhibit the Ca2+-dependent cysteine protease, calpain. We have investigated these claims with an in vitro study of the effect of ritonavir on the m-calpain and mu-calpain isoforms. Ritonavir failed to block either autolytic or hydrolytic calpain activity, but remained fully capable of inhibiting the HIV-1 protease. Any calpain-related effects of ritonavir in cells must, therefore, arise by a mechanism other than direct inhibition of calpains.
