Mechanism of Action

Fosamprenavir is a potent HIV Protease inhibitor. As a prodrug form of Amprenavir, it has an identical mechanism of action as Amprenavir.

Drug Resistance

The biggest difficulty with treating HIV is the rapidity at which it mutates and becomes resistant to treatments. To view a comprehensive and interactive analysis of the mutations which confer drug resistance to HIV Protease, See: HIV Protease Inhibitor Resistance Profile
