Design and Development of HIV-1 Integrase Inhibitors Based on a Natural Product Lead. HIV/AIDS is a significant health problem with over 40 million people infected with HIV worldwide. Resistance to current drugs is rising rapidly and new therapeutics are urgently needed. This project will bring together local expertise in organic synthesis and virology in order to develop new and better treatments for HIV/AIDS. Ultimately, Australians with HIV may benefit directly from anti-HIV compounds produce ....Design and Development of HIV-1 Integrase Inhibitors Based on a Natural Product Lead. HIV/AIDS is a significant health problem with over 40 million people infected with HIV worldwide. Resistance to current drugs is rising rapidly and new therapeutics are urgently needed. This project will bring together local expertise in organic synthesis and virology in order to develop new and better treatments for HIV/AIDS. Ultimately, Australians with HIV may benefit directly from anti-HIV compounds produced and may also benefit from advances in our understanding of this elusive virus resulting from the project.Read moreRead less
