Saquinavir, abbreviated SQV and sold under the trade names Fortovase®, Invirase® and ROC®, is a protease inhibitor used to treate HIV/AIDS. It is effective againsts HIV-1 and HIV-2. Saquinavir binds to the protease active site and inhibits its activity, thus preventing cleavage of the viral polyproteins resulting in immature non-infectious viral particles. Protease inhibitors are almost always used in combination with at least two other anti-HIV drugs and due to their short half-life, often must be taken about every four hours.
