The present invention discloses novel isoquinoline carboxamide derivatives which are HIV protease inhibitors or prodrugs thereof, a process for their manufacture, pharmaceutical compositions and the use of such compounds in medicine. In particular, the compounds are hydroxyethylamine tripeptide mimetics which act as inhibitors of the HIV aspartyl protease, an essential enzyme in the replicative life cycle of HIV. Consequently, the compounds of this invention may be advantageously used in the treatment of HIV infection, either alone or in combination with other inhibitors of HIV viral replication or with pharmacoenhancers such as cytochrome P450 inhibitors.
