REVIEW Raltegravir is an antiretroviral drug used to treat HIV infection. It is the first integrase inhibitor to receive approval. HIV-1 integrase is a key enzyme in the replication mechanism of retroviruses, responsible for transfer of virally-encoded DNA into the host chromosome. Since integrase has no equivalent in the host cell, integrase inhibitors have a high therapeutic index. Research on human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) terminase proteins demonstrated that raltegravir may block viral replication of the herpesviruses.
