Abstract
HIV-1 integrase catalyzed the insertion of viral DNA into the genome of human cells in the process of retrotranscription. Integrase is an attractive target for HIV-1 treatment due to the lack of its homologue in human cells and its vital role in HIV-1 replication. Although major progress in the development of HIV-1 integrase inhibitors has been made, some thorny problems, such as drug resistance, led to the further study of HIV-1 integrase inhibitors. This review briefly discussed the structure, function, and mechanism of catalysis of HIV-1 integrase and made a different conclusion for recent advances in small-molecule inhibitors of HIV-1 integrase.
Keywords: AIDS, integrase, HIV-1 integrase inhibitors, anti-AIDS drugs, dual inhibitors, allosteric integrase inhibitors.

Chalcogen-modified nucleic acid analogues
Chalcogen-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides have been of great interest to scientific research for many years. The replacement of oxygen in the nucleobase, sugar or phosphate backbone by chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, tellurium) gives these biomolecules unique properties resulting from their altered physical and chemical properties. The continuing interest in ...read more
