A novel method for determining the inhibitory potential of anti-HIV drugs
Trends in Pharmacological Sciences, 10/29/09

Shen L et al. – Instantaneous inhibitory potential has been derived as a new measure of antiviral drug activity. IIP incorporates the slope parameter and thus is a more accurate pharmacodynamic measure of antiviral activity than current measures such as IC50 and inhibitory quotient. Determining how to use IIP to predict the in vivo efficacy of anti–HIV–1 drugs is nevertheless important. This article discusses recent advances in in vitro measures of antiviral activity and the therapeutic implications of the dose–response curve slope and IIP.
