“…The binding of BI 224436 to the integrase LEDGF binding pocket has been confirmed by crystallography studies with the integrase core domain (data not shown). Similar findings have been reported for this chemical series by our group (18), researchers at Gilead Sciences (45,50), and for an analogous chemical series referred to as LEDGINs (23). %) are described at the following levels: Ͼ100, strong synergy; 50 to 100, moderate synergy; 25 to 50, minor amount of synergy; 25 to Ϫ25, additive; Ϫ25 to Ϫ50, minor amount of antagonism; Ϫ50 to Ϫ100, moderate antagonism; and ϽϪ100, strong antagonism.…”
