Integrase inhibitors are a class of antiretroviral drugs used in the treatment of HIV infection. They work by blocking the action of the viral enzyme integrase, which is responsible for incorporating the viral genetic material into the host cell's DNA. By inhibiting this crucial step in the HIV life cycle, integrase inhibitors prevent the virus from replicating and spreading within the body. These drugs have been significant additions to HIV therapy, improving treatment options and helping individuals with HIV lead healthier lives. Integrases inhibitors are commonly used in combination with other antiretroviral drugs to manage HIV infections effectively.
