Evaluation of the Therapeutic Efficacy of Antiretroviral Drugs used in the Clinical Management of HIV/AIDS Infection
The protease inhibitors are potent antiretroviral
drugs because the protease activity is absolutely essential for
production of infectious viruses. The newest class of drugs is the
fusion inhibitors that blocks virus entry into cells. Persistent virus
production is facilitated further by sub-inhibitory drug levels in
infected cells or by host immune failure. Therefore, pre-existing or
newly produced drug resistant mutants can emerge that have a selective
advantage under drug pressure. These escape mutants become dominant in
the virus population and lead to viral rebound and therapy failure. This
review provides knowledge for improvement of antiretroviral drug
administration programmes
