Probing chelation motifs in HIV integrase inhibitors [PDF]
A series of HIV integrase (HIV-1 IN) inhibitors were synthesized to evaluate the role of the metal-binding group (MBG) in this class of metalloenzyme inhibitors. A total of 21 different raltegravir-chelator derivative (RCD) compounds were prepared that differed only in the nature of the MBG.

Approaches to repurposing reverse transcriptase antivirals in cancer
This review highlights the role of reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibition in cellular regulation associated with non‐terminal repeat retrotransposons and endogenous retroviruses. Based on their pleiotropic characteristics, RT inhibitors (RTIs) are discussed as potential anticancer agents.

Histone H2AX Is Phosphorylated at Sites of Retroviral DNA Integration but Is Dispensable for Postintegration Repair [PDF]
The histone variant H2AX is rapidly phosphorylated (denoted {gamma}H2AX) in large chromatin domains (foci) flanking double strand DNA (dsDNA) breaks that are produced by ionizing radiation or genotoxic agents and during V(D)J recombination.

Factors Influencing the Binding of HIV‐1 Protease Inhibitors: Insights from Machine Learning Models
HIV‐1 protease inhibitors are crucial for antiviral therapies targeting acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Hundreds of HIV‐1 protease complexes with various ligands have been resolved and deposited in the Protein Data Bank. However, binding affinity measurements for these ligands are not always available.

Background In resource-limited settings, multi-experienced HIV infected patients are often prescribed raltegravir for salvage therapy. Patients failing raltegravir-containing regimens require other drugs including other integrase inhibitors.

Discovery of a novel 5-carbonyl-1H-imidazole-4-carboxamide class of inhibitors of the HIV-1 integrase–LEDGF/p75 interaction [PDF]
Though much progress has been made in the inhibition of HIV-1 integrase catalysis, clinical resistance mutations have limited the promise of long-term drug prescription. Consequently, allosteric inhibition of integrase activity has emerged as a promising

Incorporation of aptamers in the terminal loop of shRNAs yields an effective and novel combinatorial targeting strategy. [PDF]
Gene therapy by engineering patient's own blood cells to confer HIV resistance can potentially lead to a functional cure for AIDS. Toward this goal, we have previously developed an anti-HIV lentivirus vector that deploys a combination of shRNA, ribozyme ...

Abstract Long‐acting (LA) cabotegravir 200‐mg/mL (CAB200) injections are approved for HIV‐1 prevention and as a complete LA HIV‐1 treatment regimen with rilpivirine. A high‐concentration suspension formulation, cabotegravir 400 mg/mL (CAB400‐D), was developed to enable less frequent dosing and self‐administration. This phase 1, double‐blind, randomized

Resistance to inhibitors of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 integration
This review will summarize the role of integrase in HIV-1 infection, the mechanism of integrase inhibitors and resistance with an emphasis on raltegravir (RAL), the first integrase inhibitor licensed to treat HIV-1 infection.
