| Description | The arlicle summarizes the basic facts about the pharmacokinetic profile, metabolism and drug interactions of rilpivirine (RPV). This is the latest orally administered second-generation non-nucleoside reverse transcriplase inhibitor (NNRTI) for antiretroviral-naive patients with HIV-1 infection. Conformational flexibility and adaptability are the factors that dominantly determine the high resistance barrier of RPV and are the unique features of diarylpyrimidine inbibitors (DAPY inhibitors - 2nd-generation NNRTIs). Multicentre studies ECHO and THRIVE are also reviewed. Current guidelines for the treatment of HIV/AIDS are mentioned as well as the role of RPV in current therapeutic regiments. |
