 Nelfinavir - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nelfinavir (Viracept®) is an antiretroviral drug used in the treatment of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
Nelfinavir's interaction profile is similar to that of other protease inhibitors.
Nelfinavir is a protease inhibitor: it inhibits HIV-1 and HIV-2 proteases.

 Nelfinavir/Viracept Product Information -- HIV/AIDS -- AEGIS
Because the potential for HIV cross-resistance between nelfinavir and other protease inhibitors has not been fully explored, it is unknown what effect nelfinavir therapy will have on the activity of coadministered or subsequently administered protease inhibitors.
Nelfinavir produced no effects on either male or female mating and fertility or embryo survival in rat studies at exposures comparable to human therapeutic exposure.
The clinical relevance of phenotypic and genotypic changes associated with nelfinavir therapy has not been established.

 Case 4: Discussion - Resistance to Nelfinavir - Antiretroviral Rx: Resistance
Nevertheless, because nelfinavir was widely used in previous years and continues to have some current use, important issues remain regarding resistance to nelfinavir and the use of subsequent therapy after development of resistance to nelfinavir.
Multiple studies have shown that nelfinavir-based regimens provide good virologic and immunologic responses when used as initial therapy in antiretroviral-naïve patients [1-2].
In the California Collaborative Treatment Group 575 study, investigators performed phenotypic analysis of viral isolates from patients who experienced virologic failure on a protease inhibitor-containing regimen and found that patients failing nelfinavir-based regimens remained more susceptible to other protease inhibitors than did patients failing indinavir-based regimens (Figure 2) [11].

 Gastrointestinal Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics (blood levels) of the New 625 mg Nelfinavir Tablets
At the 4th Intl Workshop on Clinical Pharmacology of HIV Therapy (March 27-29, Cannes, France) Roche researchers presented 3 studies exploring the pharmacokinetics (blood levels) & bioequivalence, and the gastrointestinal tolerability of the new nelfinavir 625 mg film-coated tablets in comparison with nelfinavir 250 mg film-coated tablets (Viracept) in healthy subjects and in HIV+ individuals.
The authors concluded that patients on 625mg nelfinavir formulation showed improved GI-tolerability over a 4-week period when compared with the 250mg NFV.
The authors concluded there were no incidences of moderate or severe diarrhea with either treatment.

 Low Nelfinavir Blood levels Causes Treatment failure
Virological failure to highly active antiretroviral therapy has been associated with low drug potency, the selection of drug-resistant variants, poor adherence to medication, or low drug exposuree.
Given that the majority of these individuals had undetectable nelfinavir plasma concentrations, a lack of adherence to the medication was the most likely cause of their sub-therapeutic drug levels.
Although other causes such as impaired gut absorption or drug interactions could also been involved, the lack of recognition of any nelfinavir trace in our patients strongly suggests that they were not taking the prescribed medication.
