“Although both the biochemical and antiviral activities ofL-870,810 are analogous to the diketo acids, we provide evidence that these inhibitors exhibit discordant sensitivity to resistance mutations. Exploration of the structural basis for this unexpected result provides insights into this class of antiviral agents and suggests an approach to the development of integrase inhibitors with unique resistance profiles.”
