The present invention features interferon- and ribavirin-free therapies for the treatment of HCV. Preferably, the treatment is over a shorter duration of treatment, such as no more than 12 weeks. In one aspect, the therapies comprise administering at least two direct acting antiviral agents without interferon and ribavirin to a subject with HCV infection. For example, the therapies comprise administering to a subject an effective amounts of therapeutic agent 1, therapeutic agent 2 (or therapeutic agent 3), and an inhibitor of cytochrome P450 (e.g., ritonavir).

Methods of reducing hepatitis delta virus (HDV) viral loads in a patient are provided. In some embodiments, the method comprises treating the patient with lonafarnib-ritonavir co-therapy. In some embodiments, the method further comprises treating the patient with an interferon.

The invention provides ritonavir water-soluble derivatives, a synthesizing method and application thereof, which relate to a ritonavir water-soluble derivative. Through improving a ritonavir synthesizing route, based on maintaining fundamental drug-effect structure of ritonavir, a pyridine ring is used to replace a benzene ring on a fork chain so as to improve the water solubility of anti-AIDS drugs, such as ritonavir. In the invention, 3 novel ritonavir water-soluble derivatives are synthesized, are estimated to overcome the defect of poor water solubility of the ritonavir based on maintaining the pharmaceutical activity of the ritonavior, and have excellent effect in inhibiting HIV prolease, and can be used for preparing the anti-AIDS drugs.

The invention provides a new medical application of ritonavir and in particular relates to an application of the ritonavir for preventing or treating Acute Lung Injury/Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ALI/ARDS) and pulmonary fibrosis in such a manner of inhibiting the occurrence and development of the ALI/ARDS and the pulmonary fibrosis by inhibiting the apoptosis of type I alveolar epithelial cells and promoting the expression of the Receptor For Advanced Glycation Endproducts (RAGE) of the type I alveolar epithelial cells. When in use, the oral administration dosage of the ritonavir ranges from 100mg to 6000mg, preferably, from 200mg to 3000mg.

The invention relates to the technical field of medicine, in particular to a preparation method of ritonavir. According to the preparation method of the ritonavir, (2-isopropyl thiazole-4-yl)-nitrogen-methyl methylamine is taken as a raw material, and the ritonavir is synthesized through a three-step reaction; a urea bond is built by trichloroethanol chloroformate, paratoluensulfonyl chloride which is cheap and easy to obtain is adopted as a condensing agent for amide, the ritonavir is synthesized with the high yield, and the yield of the ritonavir is 79%; and compared with an existing preparation method, the preparation method has the advantages of low cost, environment friendliness, easy scale production and the like, and has good application prospects.

The invention relates to processes for the preparation of a polymorphic form of ritonavir. More particularly, it relates to the preparation of a stable polymorphic Form I of ritonavir. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions that include the stable Form I of ritonavir and use of the compositions for treatment of HIV infections in combination with other antiretro viral agents.

The present invention features therapies for the treatment of HCV comprising direct-acting antiviral agents. Preferably, the treatment is administered to an HCV-infected patient who has been tested to determine methylation status of a CpG island within a promoter region of the IL28B gene. In one aspect, the therapies comprise administering one or more direct acting antiviral agents and, optionally ribavirin, to a subject with HCV infection. For example, the therapies comprise administering to the subject effective amounts of therapeutic agent 1, therapeutic agent 2, therapeutic agent 3, an inhibitor of cytochrome P450 (e.g., ritonavir), and/or ribavirin.

Methods of reducing hepatitis delta virus (HDV) viral loads in a patient are provided. In some embodiments, the method comprises treating the patient with lonafarnib-ritonavir co-therapy. In some embodiments, the method comprises treating the patient with lonafarnib-interferon lambda co-therapy.

The invention relates to a method for preparing Ritonavir applied to the technical field of pharmaceutical synthesis. According to the method, under the conditions of organic alkali and an organic solvent, HATU is used as a condensing agent, N-[2-Isopropylthiazol-4-ylmethyl(methyl)carbamoyl]-L-valine and (2S,3S,5S)-5-Amino-2-(N-((5-thiazolyl)-methoxycarbonyl)amino)-1,6-diphenyl-3-hydroxyhexane are subjected to an acidamide reaction, and then a certain post-treatment is performed, so that the Ritonavir is obtained. According to the method disclosed by the invention, the synthesis yield of the Ritonavir is increased, the purity is high, and the cost of raw materials is effectively reduced. Besides, the reaction time is short, the feed is simple, nitrogen protection is not needed, and feeding temperature needs to be appropriately controlled, so that by-products of HATU can be easy to wash away, the preparation time is greatly shortened, the working efficiency is improved, and the method is suitable for industrial production.

The invention provides new medical application of ritonavir, and particularly relates to the medical application of ritonavir and glucocorticoid in cooperation to enhancing the anti-inflammation effect of glucocorticoid. In the application, the range of oral dosage is 100-2400 mg, preferentially 100-1200 mg.
