Rational Design of CYP3A4 Inhibitors: A One-Atom Linker Elongation in Ritonavir-Like Compounds Leads to a Marked Improvement in the Binding Strength
Inhibition of the major human drug-metabolizing cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) by pharmaceuticals and other xenobiotics could lead to toxicity, drug–drug interactions and other adverse effects, as well as pharmacoenhancement. Despite serious clinical implications, the structural basis and attributes r...
