Funded Activity Summary

The Design of New Integrase Inhibitors Targeting HIV-1. There is still no cure in sight for the worldwide HIV pandemic and the worsening viral resistance problem creates a need to find new and novel compounds for therapeutic use. This project aims to design and synthesize new anti-HIV drugs by targeting two separate enzymes within the HIV life-cycle. This 'dual-action' approach of designing a single molecular scaffold to target separate enzymes would enable a synergistic effect while minimizing development costs. The expected outcomes from this medicinal chemistry project include the discovery of new compounds with the potential for further development as therapeutic agents against HIV.
