Abstract

Methods for improving the cellular uptake of protease inhibitors (e.g., HIV protease inhibitor), alone or in the presence of one or more additional therapeutic agents, in protease inhibitor-based therapies, involving administration of one or more AAG-binding compounds, such as macrolide or lincosamide antibiotics, which have sufficient binding affinity for AAG to competitively bind AAG in the presence of the protease inhibitor.
