Mechanism of Action

Targets/IC50/Ki
HIV protease
(Cell-free assay)
1.3 pM(Ki)
In vitro
Lopinavir (ABT-378) binds to mutant HIV protease (V82A, V82F and V82T) with Ki of 4.9 pM, 3.7 pM and 3.6 pM, respectively. It inhibits 93% of wild-type HIV protease activity at 0.5 nM, and also suppresses HIV protease activity in the absence and presence of 50% HS with EC50 of 17 nM and 102 nM, respectively, in MT4 cells. This compound is converted to several metabolites in an NADPH-dependent manner in liver microsomes with the primary metabolites M-3 and M-4. It is a potent inhibitor of Rh123 efflux in Caco-2 monolayers with IC50 of 1.7 mM. Its exposure (72 hours) in LS 180V cells reduces the content of intracellular Rh123, and it induces P-glycoprotein immunoreactive protein and messenger RNA levels in LS 180V cells. It inhibits subtype C clone C6 with IC50 of 9.4 nM. Additionally, it inhibits CYP3A with IC50 of 7.3 mM in human liver microsomes, while producing negligible or weak inhibition of human CYP1A2, 2B6, 2C9, 2C19 and 2D6.
In vivo
Lopinavir (ABT-378) (10 mg/kg, orally) results in Cmax of 0.8 μg/mL and oral bioavailability of 25% in rats.
