* Importance: As a prodrug, It is rapidly metabolized by the liver into its active form, also known as [[Amprenavir]]. As a prodrug, it is a slow release form of Amprenavir, thus requiring less frequent dosing. It was one of the first instances of a successful drug stemming from joint ventures of major pharmaceutical companies. | * Importance: As a prodrug, It is rapidly metabolized by the liver into its active form, also known as [[Amprenavir]].
