“…Raltegravir is the first agent in a new class of antiretrovirals, HIV integrase inhibitors. It has a demonstrated potent efficacy against multidrug-resistant HIV-1 and was initially approved by Food and Drug Administration in 2007 to treat treatment-experienced HIV-1-infected patients (Cocohoba and Dong, 2008;Steigbigel et al, 2008;Elbasha et al, 2009;Hughes et al, 2009). Based on the most recent guidelines for the use of antiretroviral agents in HIV-1-infected adults and adolescents released by the United States Department of Health and Human Services in December 2009, raltegravir also has been listed as one of the preferred regimens recommended for treatment-naive HIV-1-infected patients.…”

“…Raltegravir (also known as MK0518, Isentress) is a first-in-its-class oral integrase inhibitor and was approved by the Food and Drug Administration on October 12, 2007 (Nair andChi, 2007;Cocohoba and Dong, 2008). Raltegravir prevents the integration of proviral DNA into host genome and has potent in vitro inhibitory activity against HIV-1 strains that are resistant to other antiretroviral regimens (Cocohoba and Dong, 2008). Limited clinical studies have shown that raltegravir has equal or greater therapeutic efficacy in treatment of both naive and experienced patients Steigbigel et al, 2008;Imaz et al, 2009).…”

“…It inhibits the action of the HIV-1-specific enzyme that is responsible for the insertion of viral complimentary DNA into the host genome (Croxtall & Keam, 2009). It is also found to be a generally well tolerated antiretroviral agent that may play an important role in the treatment of patients harboring resistance to other antiretroviral drugs (Cocohoba & Dong, 2008). A review of the pharmacokinetics, pharmacology and clinical studies of Raltegravir has been published (Burger, 2010).…”

“…No functional equivalent for HIV-1 integrase has been found in human cells, suggesting that the integrase enzyme is one of the best candidates for designing and developing new inhibitors/drugs for HIV/AIDS treatment. 2,3 Hence, integrase is a signi¯cant target for chemotherapy and development of therapeutic anti-HIV-1 agents. 4 There are a number of diverse classes of compounds that inhibit integrase activity in vitro.…”
