Nelfinavir (also known as AG-1341), is the mesylate salt of nelfinavir, an HIV-1 protease inhibitor with unique, strong, and orally bioavailable antiviral effects. It is used to treat HIV infection as an antiviral agent.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)

Targets	HIV-1
ln Vitro	Nelfinavir (AG1341) Mesylate (1-10 μM; 48 hours) suppresses the growth of several myeloma cells[4]. Nelfinavir Mesylate suppresses the activity of 26S chymotrypsin-like proteasomes, hinders myeloma cell line proliferation, and induces apoptosis in newly generated plasma cells[4]. Nelfinavir Mesylate (1-10 μM; 17 hours) cell lines undergo apoptosis when exposed to nelfinavir mesylate[4]. Nelfinavir Mesylate (5 μM; 0-24 hours) decreases the phosphorylation of AKT[4]. Nelfinavir Mesylate causes caspase-3 to cleave, phosphorylates AKT, STAT-3, and ERK1/2, and triggers the unfolded protein response system's pro-apoptotic pathway[4]. Nelfinavir has an IC50 of 35.93 μM, making it another SARS-CoV 3CLpro inhibitor[5].
ln Vivo	Nelfinavir Mesylate (75 mg/kg; i.p.; 5 days a week for 21 days) inhibits the growth of multiple myeloma cells in NOD/SCID mice.
Animal Protocol	NOD/SCID mice (bearing U266-luc cells)[4] 75 mg/kg I.p.; 5 days a week for 21 days
