The invention relates to &agr;-ketoamides of the general formula
wherein R1 to R12 have the significances given in the description, and their salts. The &agr;-ketoamide derivatives provided by the present invention inhibit proteinases of viral origin, such as HCV protease, and can be used in the treatment of viral infections, especially viral infections caused by hepatitis C, hepatitis G and human GB viruses.
