BI 224436 is a novel HIV-1 noncatalytic site integrase inhibitor with EC 50 values of less than 15 nM against different HIV-1 laboratory strains. In Vitro BI 224436 has cellular cytotoxicity of more than 90 μM. BI 224436 has a low, 2.1-fold decrease in antiviral potency in the presence of 50% human serum. BI 224436 retains full antiviral activity against recombinant viruses encoding INSTI resistance substitutions N155S, Q148H, and E92Q. BI 224436 displays an additive effect in combination with most approved antiretrovirals, including INSTIs. BI 224436 has drug-like in vitro absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) properties, including Caco-2 cell permeability, solubility, and low cytochrome P450 inhibition.
