PF-07321332 is an antiviral drug developed by Pfizer which acts as an orally active 3CL protease inhibitor. It is a covalent inhibitor, binding directly to the catalytic cysteine (Cys145) residue of the enzyme. As PAXLOVID™, it is in Phase 3 trials for the treatment of COVID-19 in combination with ritonavir.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
In November 2021, Pfizer announced positive phase 2/3 results, including 89% reduction in hospitalizations when given within three days after symptom onset.[7]
