Etravirine (formerly known as TMC-125, brand name Intelence) is a drug approved in the United States for the treatment of HIV. Etravirine is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTIs). Unlike the currently available agents in the class, resistance to other NNRTIs does not seem to confer resistance to etravirine.[1] Etravirine is marketed by Tibotec, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson. In January 2008, the Food and Drug Administration approved its use for patients with established resistance to other drugs, making it the 30th anti-HIV drug approved in the United States and the first to be approved in 2008.[2]
Tibotec has submitted applications for approval of etravirine to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) as well as to drug regulating authorities in Canada, Switzerland, Russia and Australia.[3]

[edit] Indications and dosage
Etravirine, in combination with other anti-retrovirals, is indicated for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection in antiretroviral treatment-experienced adult patients, who have evidence of viral replication and HIV-1 strains resistant to a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) and other antiretroviral agents.
The recommended dose of etravirine is 200 mg (two 100 mg tablets) taken twice daily following a meal. The type of food does not affect the exposure to etravirine.[4]
[edit] Mechanism of action
Etravirine is a second-generation non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI), designed to be active against HIV with mutations that confer resistance to the two most commonly prescribed first-generation NNRTI's, mutation K103N for efavirenz and Y181C for nevirapine.[5] This potency appears to be related to etravirine's flexibility as a molecule. Etravirine is a diarylpyrimidine (DAPY), a type organic molecule with some conformational isomerism that can bind the enzyme reverse transcriptase in multiple conformations, allowing for a more robust interaction between etravirine and the enzyme, even in the presence of mutations.[6] Other diarylpyrimidine-analogues are currently being developed as potential anti-HIV agents, notably rilpivirine.
