Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs): a brief overview of clinically approved drugs and combination regimens.

Abstract:

:The non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) are allosteric inhibitors of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase and are classified into generations depending on their discovery and resistance profiles. The NNRTIs are used in combination regimens with antiretroviral agents that target two or more enzymes in the viral life cycle. The combination regimens usually include a backbone of two nucleoside or nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors and a third core agent among the NNRTIs or protease inhibitors. The combination regimens are maintained over long durations and consequently lead to long-term problems, including toxicity, drug-drug interactions, and increasing costs. This brief overview summarizes the pharmacokinetic profiles for NNRTIs and NNRTI-based combination regimens.

  • Strategies for hepatitis C therapeutic intervention: now and next.

    abstract::Interferon-alpha-based therapies are the mainstay of hepatitis C treatment. However, these broad immunomodulatory agents, already limited by their side effects, expense and route of administration, are not efficacious in all cases. Therefore, research efforts have focused on identifying additional drugs and therapeuti...
