Pharmacokinetic drug interactions of integrase strand transfer inhibitors
The integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI)-containing regimens are currently considered as the first-line treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Although possessing a common mechanism of action to inhibit HIV integrase irreversibly to stop HIV replication cycle, the INSTIs, including raltegravir, elvitegravir, dolutegravir, and

HIV-1 Integrase Strand Transfer Inhibitors and Neurodevelopment
Children born to mothers, with or at risk, of human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) infection are on the rise due to affordable access of antiretroviral therapy (ART) to pregnant women or those of childbearing age. Each year, up to 1.3 million HIV-1-infected women on ART have given birth with recorded mother-to-child HIV-1 transmission rates of ...

Integrase Strand Transfer Inhibitors in HIV Therapy [PDF]
HIV drug resistance has been one of the major obstacles to HIV eradication and has contributed to the need for the constant development of new antiretroviral drugs over the past 25 years. With the recent approval of dolutegravir for human therapy by the U.S.

Differential Sensitivities of Retroviruses to Integrase Strand Transfer Inhibitors [PDF]
ABSTRACT Integrase inhibitors are emerging anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) drugs, and multiple retroviruses and transposable elements were evaluated here for susceptibilities to raltegravir (RAL) and elvitegravir (EVG).

Primary resistance against integrase strand transfer inhibitors in integrase strand transfer inhibitor-naive patients failing first- and second-line ART in Tanzania. [PDF]
Abstract Introduction Sub-Saharan African countries are introducing integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) in their ART programmes as the preferred first-line regimen, and dolutegravir is the INSTI of choice due to its potency, tolerability and high genetic barrier to resistance.

Structural Biology of HIV Integrase Strand Transfer Inhibitors
Integrase (IN) strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) are recent compounds in the antiretroviral arsenal used against HIV. INSTIs work by blocking retroviral integration; an essential step in the viral lifecycle that is catalyzed by the virally encoded IN protein within a nucleoprotein assembly called an intasome. Recent structures of lentiviral intasomes

Different Pathways Conferring Integrase Strand-Transfer Inhibitors Resistance
Integrase Strand Transfer Inhibitors (INSTIs) are currently used as the most effective therapy in the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections. Raltegravir (RAL) and Elvitegravir (EVG), the first generation of INSTIs used successfully in clinical treatment, are susceptible to the emergence of viral resistance and have a high rate of ...

Structural Studies of the HIV-1 Integrase Protein: Compound Screening and Characterization of a DNA-Binding Inhibitor. [PDF]
Understanding the HIV integrase protein and mechanisms of resistance to HIV integrase inhibitors is complicated by the lack of a full length HIV integrase crystal structure. Moreover, a lentiviral integrase structure with co-crystallised DNA has not been
