  • Patent number: 6642237
    Abstract: &ggr;-Hydroxy-2-(fluoroalkylaminocarbonyl)-1-piperazinepentanamide compounds are inhibitors of HIV protease and inhibitors of HIV replication. These compounds are useful in the prevention or treatment of infection by HV and the treatment of AIDS, either as compounds, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, pharmaceutical composition ingredients, whether or not in combination with other antivirals, immunomodulators, antibiotics or vaccines. Methods of treating AIDS and methods of preventing or treating infection by HIV are also described. These compounds are effective against HIV viral mutants which are resistant to HIV protease inhibitors currently used for treating AIDS and HIV infection.

  • Patent number: 5336674
    Abstract: The present invention relates to antibacterial agents of the carbapenem class, in which the 2-position sidechain is characterized by a phenanthridine moiety typically having a substituent attached to the nitrogen of the phenanthridine and substituted at other positions by various neutral substituents. When there is substitution on the nitrogen of the phenathridine moiety that nitrogen is a charged quaternary nitrogen.
