Multimodal mechanism of action of allosteric HIV-1 integrase inhibitors [PDF]
Integrase (IN) is required for lentivirus replication and is a proven drug target for the prevention of AIDS in HIV-1-infected patients. While clinical strand transfer inhibitors disarm the IN active site, allosteric inhibition of enzyme activity through the disruption of IN–IN protein interfaces holds great therapeutic potential.

Development of an AlphaScreen-Based HIV-1 Integrase Dimerization Assay for Discovery of Novel Allosteric Inhibitors [PDF]
In recent years, HIV-1 integrase (IN) has become an established target in the field of antiretroviral drug discovery. However, its sole clinically approved inhibitor, the integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI) raltegravir, has a surprisingly low genetic barrier for resistance.

Computational and synthetic approaches for developing Lavendustin B derivatives as allosteric inhibitors of HIV-1 integrase [PDF]
Through structure-based virtual screening and subsequent activity assays of selected natural products, Lavendustin B was previously identified as an inhibitor of HIV-1 integrase (IN) interaction with its cognate cellular cofactor, lens epithelium-derived growth factor (LEDGF/p75).

TALEN Knockout of the PSIP1 Gene in Human Cells: Analyses of HIV-1 Replication and Allosteric Integrase Inhibitor Mechanism [PDF]
ABSTRACT HIV-1 utilizes the cellular protein LEDGF/p75 as a chromosome docking and integration cofactor. The LEDGF/p75 gene, PSIP1 , is a potential therapeutic target because, like CCR5, depletion of LEDGF/p75 is tolerated well by human CD4 + T cells, and knockout mice have normal ...

Allosteric HIV Integrase Inhibitors Promote Formation of Inactive Branched Polymers via Homomeric Carboxy-Terminal Domain Interactions [PDF]
The major effect of allosteric HIV integrase (IN) inhibitors (ALLINIs) is observed during virion maturation, where ALLINI treatment interrupts IN-RNA interactions via drug-induced IN aggregation, leading to the formation of aberrant virions. To understand the structural changes that accompany drug-induced aggregation, we determined the soft matter ...

Structure-function analyses unravel distinct effects of allosteric inhibitors of HIV-1 integrase on viral maturation and integration [PDF]
Recently, a new class of HIV-1 integrase (IN) inhibitors with a dual mode of action, called IN-LEDGF/p75 allosteric inhibitors (INLAIs), was described. Designed to interfere with the IN-LEDGF/p75 interaction during viral integration, unexpectedly, their major impact was on virus maturation.

The A128T Resistance Mutation Reveals Aberrant Protein Multimerization as the Primary Mechanism of Action of Allosteric HIV-1 Integrase Inhibitors [PDF]
Allosteric HIV-1 integrase (IN) inhibitors (ALLINIs) are a very promising new class of anti-HIV-1 agents that exhibit a multimodal mechanism of action by allosterically modulating IN multimerization and interfering with IN-lens epithelium-derived growth factor (LEDGF)/p75 binding.

A New Class of Allosteric HIV-1 Integrase Inhibitors Identified by Crystallographic Fragment Screening of the Catalytic Core Domain [PDF]
HIV-1 integrase (IN) is essential for virus replication and represents an important multifunctional therapeutic target. Recently discovered quinoline-based allosteric IN inhibitors (ALLINIs) potently impair HIV-1 replication and are currently in clinical trials.
