Furthermore the present invention relates to a use of tipranavir in combination or alternation with a com pound of formula (I) in the prophylaxis or treatment of a viral infection in a patient. The present invention also relates to a use of tipranavir in combination with a compound of formula (I) for the manufacture of a medicament for the prophylaxis or treatment of a viral infection in a patient. In addition the present invention relates to a kit of parts and to 25 a manufacture for the prophylaxis or treatment of a viral Tipranavir and methods for its synthesis and use in the infection in a patient. treatment of HIV are described in WO95/30670 and cor responding U.S. Pat. No. 5,852,195. Pharmaceutical formu BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 30 lations suitable for the oral administration of tipranavir are described in WO 99/06043 and WO 99/06044, and the Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is recognized as corresponding U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,121,313 and 6,231,887. the causative agent in AIDS. As tipranavir is metabolized relatively rapidly by the Current therapies for HIV infection focus on inhibiting cytochromes P450, especially the Cyp3A4 isoform, it is the activity of viral enzymes which are essential to the life 35 preferred to co-administer an inhibitor of Cyp3A4 in order cycle of the virus. The agents that are presently in use fall to obtain therapeutically effective blood levels of tipranavir. mainly into three classes, designated Nucleoside Reverse The use of ritonavir for this purpose is described in U.S. Pat. Transcriptase Inhibitors (NRTIs). Non-nucleoside Reverse No. 6,147,095. The use for this purpose of other inhibitors Transcriptase Inhibitors (NNRTIs), and Protease Inhibitors 40 of Cyp3A4 is also possible. (PIs). Presently, combination therapies, i.e. the selection of Furthermore Compounds of the Formula (I) two or more antiretroviral agents taken together to make up a "drug cocktail.” are the preferred treatment for HIV infection. Combination therapies have been shown to reduce HO Base the incidence of opportunistic infections and to increase 45 Survival time. Typically, the drug cocktail combines drugs from different classes, so as to attack the virus at several stages in the replication process. This approach has been shown to reduce the likelihood of the development of virus forms that are resistant to a given drug or class of drugs. 50 Treatment failure with rebound of the amount of HIV wherein Base is selected from the group consisting of which can be measured in the blood is common for patients thymine, cytosine, adenine, guanine, inosine, uracil, 5-ethy treated with combination antiretroviral regimens. Resistance luracil and 2,6-diaminopurine, or a pharmaceutically accept to the drugs in the drug regimen develops as the virus 55 able salt or prodrug thereof, are described in the WO 88/00050 and WO91701137 for the therapeutic and prophy replicates in the presence of these drugs. Because of struc lactic control and treatment of AIDS, HIV infections, hepa tural similarities of the drugs within an antiretroviral class, titis B virus (HBV) infections and retrovirus infections in cross resistance is commonly seen to the other members of animals and man. These nucleoside compounds are trans that class (for example Virologic failure on a regimen formed by cells or enzymes to triphosphates which inhibit containing an NNRTI will lead to cross resistance to the 60 the reverse transcriptase of retrovirus as well as the activity other first generation NNRTI agents). As patients experience of DNA dependent polymerase of hepatitis B virus. repeated Virologic failure on antiretroviral combination Combinations of tipranavir with at least one compound of therapy, their viruses develop broad multi-class antiretrovi the formula (I) which exhibit potent therapeutic activity ral drug resistance which limits the effectiveness of the next 65 against HIV and HBV would greatly aid in the development round of antiretroviral therapy. Many highly treatment expe of new combination therapy against human retroviral (HRV) rienced patients have been exposed to all three classes of infections and HBV.
