Approved HIV reverse transcriptase inhibitors in the past decade. [PDF]
HIV reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitors are the important components of highly active antiretroviral therapies (HAARTs) for anti-HIV treatment and pre-exposure prophylaxis in clinical practice.

Focus on chirality of HIV-1 non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors [PDF]
Chiral HIV-1 non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) are of great interest since one enantiomer is often more potent than the corresponding counterpart against the HIV-1 wild type (WT) and the HIV-1 drug resistant mutant strains.

In silico prediction of telomerase reverse transcriptase inhibitors using modified retinol for the treatment of arsenical cancer [PDF]
Retinol molecule was modified to predict the inhibitors of telomerase reverse transcriptase for the treatment of arsenical cancer through in silico study. Telomerase activity is expressed in the cancerous conditions which can be the target for anticancer

Islatravir Has a High Barrier to Resistance and Exhibits a Differentiated Resistance Profile from Approved Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NRTIs). [PDF]
Islatravir (ISL) is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase translocation inhibitor (NRTTI) that inhibits human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) reverse transcription by blocking reverse transcriptase (RT) translocation on the primer:template.

Prevalence of genotypic HIV-1 drug resistance in Thailand, 2002 [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The prices of reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitors in Thailand have been reduced since December 1, 2001. It is expected that reduction in the price of these inhibitors may influence the drug resistance mutation pattern of HIV-1 among ...

Reverse transcriptase inhibitors diminish systemic proinflammatory responses to bacterial pathogens. [PDF]
Bacterial infections can induce exuberant immune responses that can damage host tissues. Previously, we demonstrated that systemic Escherichia coli infection in mice causes tissue damage in the liver. This liver necrosis is associated with the expression

In vitro and ex vivo inhibition of human telomerase by anti-HIV nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) but not by non-NRTIs. [PDF]
Telomerase is a specialized reverse transcriptase responsible for the de novo synthesis of telomeric DNA repeats. In addition to its established reverse transcriptase and terminal transferase activities, recent reports have revealed unexpected cellular ...

The “Connection” Between HIV Drug Resistance and RNase H [PDF]
Currently, nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) and nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) are two classes of antiretroviral agents that are approved for treatment of HIV-1 infection. Since both NRTIs and NNRTIs target the

Design of structure-based reverse transcriptase inhibitors.
Based on the crystallographic structure of the active site in the reverse transcriptase (RT) of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), a group of hydrophobic polyadenylic acid (5') derivatives were designed and synthesized as inhibitors of the enzyme. These compounds were found to inhibit all six of the RTs tested, with IC50 = 10(-11)-10(-8) M, but did ...
