Description: Raltegravir, also known as MK-0518, is an antiretroviral drug used to treat HIV infection. Raltegravir is a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) integrase strand transfer inhibitor (HIV-1 INSTI) with HIV-1 antiviral activity. Raltegravir binds to and inhibits integrase, an HIV enzyme that inserts viral genetic material into the genetic material of the infected human cell. Inhibition of integrase prevents insertion of HIV DNA into the human DNA genome, thus blocking HIV replication. It received approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in October 2007, the first of a new class of HIV drugs, the integrase inhibitors, to receive such approval.

Biological target: Raltegravir potassium salt (MK 0518 potassium salt) is a potent integrase (IN) inhibitor, used to treat HIV infection.
In vitro activity: With the aim of verifying the properties of Fascin1 inhibitors on actin-based membrane protrusions involved in cell migration, an in vitro wound-healing scratch assay was carried out with cells treated with MGS and RAL (Raltegravir). Figure 6 shows that RAL induces a considerable inhibition of HCT-116 DLD-1 cell migration when compared to control conditions (p < 0.05). To further verify the inhibitory role of RAL on Fascin1 activity, this study used Fascin1 overexpressed DLD-1 cells and tested their invasion properties. Accordingly, 30 µM RAL strongly diminished migration and invasion in Fascin1 overexpressed DLD-1 cells (p < 0.01) (Appendix A Figure A5A). As shown in Appendix A Figure A5B, RAL inhibit tumor-cell invasion of HCT-116, such as another tested inhibitor, G2 compound.

In vivo activity: Lung tissues were semiquantitatively assessed, and this study found no inflammatory or fibrotic changes in the normal tissue (Figure 2A1). In addition, the pathology score in RAV-treated rats significantly decreased relative to the BLM-induced rats (Figures 2A2, A3). Pulmonary coefficient is a measure of pulmonary fibrosis. During pulmonary fibrosis, the lung coefficient significantly increases. The weight of the rats was recorded before the rats were sacrificed, and the weight of the lung tissues was recorded when the lung was isolated from the donor mice, which was used to calculate the lung coefficient. The lung coefficient of the control and RAV-treated groups decreased compared to the BLM model group (Figure 2C).
