Darunavir is a protease inhibitor used with other HIV protease inhibitor drugs as well as ritonavir for the effective management of HIV-1 infection. As a second-generation protease inhibitor, darunavir is designed to combat resistance to standard HIV therapy. It was initially approved by the FDA in 2006.
Darunavir is being studied as a possible treatment for SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus responsible for COVID-19, due to in vitro evidence supporting its ability to combat this infection. Clinical trials are underway and are expected to conclude in August 2020.
Darunavir, co-administered with ritonavir, and with other antiretroviral agents, is indicated for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in children age 3 or above and adults with HIV-1 infection.
