'''Amprenavir''' (original brand name '''Agenerase''', [[GlaxoSmithKline]]) is a [[protease inhibitor (pharmacology)|protease inhibitor]] used to treat [[HIV]] infection]]. It was approved by the [[Food and Drug Administration]] on April 15, 1999, for twice-a-day dosing instead of needing to be taken every eight hours. The convenient dosing came at a price, as the dose required is 1,200&nbsp;mg, delivered in 8 (eight) very large 150 mg gel capsules or 24 (twenty-four) 50 mg gel capsules twice daily.<ref name = "PI">{{cite web|title=Agenerase (amprenavir) Capsules.

Research aimed at development of [[renin inhibitors]] as potential [[antihypertensive agents]] had led to the discovery of compounds that blocked the action of this peptide cleaving enzyme. The amino acid sequence cleaved by [[renin]] was found to be fortuitously the same as that required to produce the HIV peptide coat. Structure–activity studies on renin inhibitors proved to be of great value for developing [[HIV protease inhibitors]]. Incorporation of an [[amino alcohol]] moiety proved crucial to inhibitory activity for many of these agents. This unit is closely related to the one found in the [[statine]], an unusual amino acid that forms part of the [[pepstatin]], a fermentation product that inhibits protease enzymes.
