Nirmatrelvir

Nirmatrelvir is an azabicyclohexane that is (1R,5S)-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane substituted by {(1S)-1-cyano-2-[(3S)-2-oxopyrrolidin-3-yl]ethyl}aminoacyl, 3-methyl-N-(trifluoroacetyl)-L-valinamide, methyl and methyl groups at positions 2S, 3, 6 and 6, respectively. It is the first orally administered inhibitor of SARS-CoV-2 main protease developed by Pfizer and used in combination with ritonavir for the treatment of COVID-19. Among its listed roles, it functions as a EC 3.4.22.69 (SARS coronavirus main proteinase) inhibitor and an anticoronaviral agent. It is a nitrile, a member of pyrrolidin-2-ones, a secondary carboxamide, a pyrrolidinecarboxamide, a tertiary carboxamide, an organofluorine compound and an azabicyclohexane. Its therapeutic use is listed as anti-infectives and antivirals. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a synthetic source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Paxlovid, (1R, 2S, 5S)-N-((1S)-1-Cyano-2-((3S)-2-oxopyrrolidin-3-yl)ethyl)-6 and 6-dimethyl-3-(3-methyl-N-(trifluoroacetyl)-L-valyl)-3-azabicyclo(3.1.0)hexane-2-carboxamide. Its PubChem CID is 155903259.
