Abstract
Low-molecular-weight peptidyl aldehyde inhibitors of HIV protease that reach in vivo plasma concentrations after oral administration substan tially in excess of the antiviral IC90 are described. We also report e fforts to improve the potency and stability of these compounds that cu lminated in a series of peptidyl trifluoromethyl ketones with increase d potency but decreased bioavailability.
