    Int. J. Pharm. Sci. Rev. Res., 64(1), September - October 2020; Article No. 28, Pages: 153-158 ISSN 0976 – 044X Review Article A Concise Review of Existing Therapies and Recent Advances in the Management of HIV Infection Hina Lal, Tarun Kumar, Siddhartha Dutta*, Kishna Ram 1Senior Resident, Department of Pharmacology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Jodhpur-342005, Rajasthan, India. *Corresponding author’s E-mail: [email protected] Received: 14-06-2020; Revised: 18-08-2020; Accepted: 26-08-2020. DOI: 10.47583/ijpsrr.2020.v64i01.028 ABSTRACT Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is an RNA retrovirus capable of replicating its genome by the DNA dependent RNA polymerase (DdRp). The virus infects the lymphocytes with the help of viral glycoproteins like Gp 120 and Gp 41. The entry of virus leads to the release of viral RNA inside the host cell, which is further replicated, and assembly of virion particles leads to the release of viral particles that further infect the other host cells. Established therapies include those that inhibit the entry of virus in the host cell, those inhibiting the integrase activity, those acting as protease inhibitors and also we have Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NRTIs) and Non-Nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) with NRTIS being the competitive inhibitors of DdRp also show mitochondrial toxicity. Protease inhibitors are known for their adverse effect profile and several drug interactions due to their enzyme inhibitory property. The most effective approach in the management is the highly active antiretroviral therapy containing the combined use of drugs having varied mechanisms of action.

  • Novel Drugs and Their Combinations Used for Treating Aids
    NOVEL DRUGS AND THEIR COMBINATIONS USED FOR TREATING AIDS Mehnaz Showkat 1, Humaira Bilal2, Bilquees3, Nahida Tabassum*4. 1-3 Research Scholar, Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences (Pharmacology Division), University of Kashmir, Srinagar, J&K-India190006 4 Professor Pharmacology, Head Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Dean School of Applied Sciences and Technology, University of Kashmir, Srinagar, J&K-India190006 Email Id: *[email protected]; [email protected]; 1 Abstract Over past 35 years HIV/AIDS has emerged as a major global health problem across the globe. Although the Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) has significantly contributed to the suppression of viral load and has greatly prolonged the patient survival rate, issues such as complexity of the regimen, drug interactions, adverse effects, cross resistance between the drugs, still pose a hurdle to successful treatment. There is a persistent need of newer antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) with increased potency, improved pharmacokinetic profiles and improved activity against resistant HIV strains. Proper understanding of HIV life cycle and interaction of the virus with host cell factors has led to the development of newer and effective ARVs like, Ibalizumab, Fostemsavir, Doravirine etc. These drugs offer a number of advantages over traditional drugs and present a new choice for patients with drug resistant disease. Fixed Dose Combinations (FDC’s) of currently available drugs have proven beneficial by reducing risk of emergence of drug resistant strains, less risk of medication errors, better patient compliance, reduced cost of treatment and simplified drug supply management. Besides, drugs belonging to different classes are currently in different stages of clinical trials, thus broadening the future scope of treatment.
