rel-Ritonavir-d6 is the deuterium labeled rel-Ritonavir, a stable isotope of Ritonavir. Ritonavir is an inhibitor of HIV protease, commonly used in the study of HIV infection and AIDS, and also functions as a SARS-CoV 3CLpro inhibitor with an IC50 of 1.61 μM. The incorporation of stable heavy isotopes into drug molecules, such as deuterium in rel-Ritonavir-d6, is largely for quantitation during the drug development process and has shown potential to influence pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles.
