Efavirenz Pharmacogenetics and Weight Gain Following Switch to Integrase Inhibitor-Containing Regimens. [PDF]
BACKGROUND Unwanted weight gain affects some people living with HIV who are prescribed integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTI). Mechanisms and risk factors are incompletely understood.

Integrase Inhibitor Resistance Mechanisms and Structural Characteristics in Antiretroviral Therapy-Experienced, Integrase Inhibitor-Naive Adults with HIV-1 Infection Treated with Dolutegravir plus Two Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors in the DAWNING Study. [PDF]
At week 48 in the phase IIIb DAWNING study, the integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI) dolutegravir plus 2 nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors demonstrated superiority to ritonavir-boosted lopinavir in achieving virologic suppression in ...

Predictors of Virological Failure and Time to Viral Suppression of First-Line Integrase Inhibitor-Based Antiretroviral Treatment. [PDF]
Background Integrase strand transfer inhibitors (InSTIs) are recommended for first-line treatment of persons with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). We identified risk factors, including baseline minor InSTI resistance mutations, for treatment failure ...

Risk Factors for Weight Gain Following Switch to Integrase Inhibitor-Based Antiretroviral Therapy. [PDF]
BACKGROUND Treatment initiation with integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) has been associated with excess weight gain. Whether similar gains are seen after switch to INSTI among virologically suppressed persons is less clear.

Allosteric Integrase Inhibitor Influences on HIV-1 Integration and Roles of LEDGF/p75 and HDGFL2 Host Factors [PDF]
Allosteric integrase (IN) inhibitors (ALLINIs), which are promising preclinical compounds that engage the lens epithelium-derived growth factor (LEDGF)/p75 binding site on IN, can inhibit different aspects of human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1 ...

HIV Dynamics and Integrase Inhibitors [PDF]
The integrase inhibitor (INI) raltegravir has shown promising results in clinical trials to date, reducing second phase HIV RNA levels by 70% in comparison with standard regimens. These trial results have been limited by the 50 copies/ml detection limit of the HIV RNA assay and have not investigated the effect of an INI regimen on levels of latently ...

The structural and mechanistic bases for the viral resistance to allosteric HIV-1 integrase inhibitor pirmitegravir [PDF]
Allosteric HIV-1 integrase (IN) inhibitors (ALLINIs) are investigational antiretroviral agents that potently impair virion maturation by inducing hyper-multimerization of IN and inhibiting its interaction with viral genomic RNA. The pyrrolopyridine-based

Structural Basis for Inhibitor-Induced Aggregation of HIV Integrase. [PDF]
The allosteric inhibitors of integrase (termed ALLINIs) interfere with HIV replication by binding to the viral-encoded integrase (IN) protein. Surprisingly, ALLINIs interfere not with DNA integration but with viral particle assembly late during HIV ...

Pre-Treatment Integrase Inhibitor Resistance and Natural Polymorphisms among HIV-1 Subtype C Infected Patients in Ethiopia [PDF]
Dolutegravir-based antiretroviral therapy (ART) has been scaled up in many developing countries, including Ethiopia. However, subtype-dependent polymorphic differences might influence the occurrence of HIV-drug-resistance mutations (HIVDRMs). We analyzed
