Indole-based allosteric inhibitors of HIV-1 integrase [PDF]
Employing a scaffold hopping approach, a series of allosteric HIV-1 integrase (IN) inhibitors (ALLINIs) have been synthesized based on an indole scaffold. These compounds incorporate the key elements utilized in quinoline-based ALLINIs for binding to the IN dimer interface at the principal LEDGF/p75 binding pocket.

Allosteric Inhibitor Development Targeting HIV‐1 Integrase [PDF]
AbstractHIV‐1 integrase (IN) is one of three essential enzymes for viral replication, and is a focus of ardent antiretroviral drug discovery and development efforts. Diligent research has led to the development of the strand‐transfer‐specific chemical class of IN inhibitors, with two compounds from this group, raltegravir and elvitegravir, advancing ...

HIV-1 integrase tetramers are the antiviral target of pyridine-based allosteric integrase inhibitors
Allosteric HIV-1 integrase (IN) inhibitors (ALLINIs) are a promising new class of antiretroviral agents that disrupt proper viral maturation by inducing hyper-multimerization of IN. Here we show that lead pyridine-based ALLINI KF116 exhibits striking selectivity for IN tetramers versus lower order protein oligomers.

Allosteric HIV-1 Integrase Inhibitors Lead to Premature Degradation of the Viral RNA Genome and Integrase in Target Cells [PDF]
ABSTRACT Recent evidence indicates that inhibition of HIV-1 integrase (IN) binding to the viral RNA genome by allosteric integrase inhibitors (ALLINIs) or through mutations within IN yields aberrant particles in which the viral ribonucleoprotein complexes (vRNPs) are eccentrically localized outside the capsid lattice.

The HIV-1 integrase-LEDGF allosteric inhibitor MUT-A: resistance profile, impairment of virus maturation and infectivity but without influence on RNA packaging or virus immunoreactivity [PDF]
Background HIV-1 Integrase (IN) interacts with the cellular co-factor LEDGF/p75 and tethers the HIV preintegration complex to the host genome enabling integration.

An Isoquinoline Scaffold as a Novel Class of Allosteric HIV-1 Integrase Inhibitors [PDF]
Allosteric HIV-1 integrase inhibitors (ALLINIs) are a new class of potential antiretroviral therapies with a unique mechanism of action and drug resistance profile. To further extend this class of inhibitors via a scaffold hopping approach, we have synthesized a series of analogues possessing an isoquinoline ring system. Lead compound 6l binds in the v-

Allosteric integrase inhibitor potency is determined through the inhibition of HIV-1 particle maturation [PDF]
Integration is essential for HIV-1 replication, and the viral integrase (IN) protein is an important therapeutic target. Allosteric IN inhibitors (ALLINIs) that engage the IN dimer interface at the binding site for the host protein lens epithelium-derived growth factor (LEDGF)/transcriptional coactivator p75 are an emerging class of small molecule ...

Multimode, Cooperative Mechanism of Action of Allosteric HIV-1 Integrase Inhibitors [PDF]
The multifunctional HIV-1 enzyme integrase interacts with viral DNA and its key cellular cofactor LEDGF to effectively integrate the reverse transcript into a host cell chromosome. These interactions are crucial for HIV-1 replication and present attractive targets for antiviral therapy.

A Critical Role of the C-terminal Segment for Allosteric Inhibitor-induced Aberrant Multimerization of HIV-1 Integrase [PDF]
Allosteric HIV-1 integrase (IN) inhibitors (ALLINIs) are a promising class of antiretroviral agents for clinical development. Although ALLINIs promote aberrant IN multimerization and inhibit IN interaction with its cellular cofactor LEDGF/p75 with comparable potencies in vitro, their primary mechanism of action in infected cells is through inducing ...

Dual inhibition of HIV-1 replication by integrase-LEDGF allosteric inhibitors is predominant at the post-integration stage [PDF]
Abstract Background LEDGF/p75 (LEDGF) is the main cellular cofactor of HIV-1 integrase (IN). It acts as a tethering factor for IN, and targets the integration of HIV in actively transcribed gene regions of chromatin. A recently developed class of IN allosteric inhibitors can inhibit the LEDGF-IN interaction.
