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 acti...
