Biochem/physiol Actions

Raltegravir (MK-0518) is an orally active, potent and selective HIV type-1 (HIV-1) integrase inhibitor (IC50 = 2-7 nM; ineffctive against HIV-1 reverse transcriptase or protease) that prevents HIV-1 cellular replication by blocking viral cDNA integration into host genome in cultures (IC50 = 19 nM & 33 nM in the presence of 10% fetal bovine serum or 50% human serum) and in vivo.
