T17	0-18	Sentence	denotes	Protease inhibitor
T18	19-282	Sentence	denotes	There are two types of protease present in SARS-CoV, the CL-like protease and the papain-like protease, which is important for cleaving the polyproteins and releasing the nonstructural proteins (NSP1–16), which carry out important functions in the CoV life cycle.
T19	283-1119	Sentence	denotes	Among protease inhibitors, lopinavir was the most inhibitor and saquinavir was the least powerful inhibitor of CoV protease.[13] In molecular dynamic studies, flap closing was observed when these inhibitors bound to the SARS-CoV 3CL (pro).[14] Hong Kong University researchers demonstrated anti-SARS-CoV action of lopinavir at concentration of 4 μg/ml in vitro against the HKU-39849 isolate.[15] Ritonavir boosting along with lopinavir is used in the management of HIV.[16] A clinical study at the same Hong Kong University suggests that even after adjustment for LDH level (possible confounder), a significant association was seen between lopinavir/ritonavir use and better outcome.[15] As per the current guidelines, lopinavir + ritonavir is the recommended protease inhibitor for the treatment of 2019-nCoV (weak recommendation).[17]
