Dolutegravir (Tivicay) was a new kind of anti-ADIS drug that jointly developed by the British pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) with the Japanese Shionogi Pharmaceutical Company (Shionogi).
In July 2012, the GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals and Japan's Shionogi Pharmaceutical Company announced the results of Phase III clinical trial of the new AIDS drug Dolutegravir. After 48 weeks of treatment with dolutegravir and two other older versions of the AIDS drug, 88% of the virus in vivo was successfully inhibited, while the use of Gilead Sciences (Gilead Sciences) of the three-in-one oral drug Atripla (Efavirenz/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate), 81% of the virus in patients was inhibited, which can be seen that, the dolutegravir developed by the GlaxoSmithKline pharmaceutical companies is slightly better. According to the researchers, in a comparative trial, owing to the side effects of the drugs, 10% of the patients stopped taking the Atripla drug developed from Gilead Technologies while only 2% stopped taking GlaxoSmithKline's dolutegravir Drug, therefore, we can see that the dolutegravir drugs from GlaxoSmithKline has slightly higher safety.
On August 12, 2013, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of dolutegravir for being used in previously treated or early treated HIV-1 adults and 12 years of age and above infected children of at least 40 kg.
Dolutegravir is a once-daily drug with its efficacy being comparable to Merck's HIV/AIDS drug Raltegravir (Isentress) in Phase III clinical trials. Raltegravir should be subject to daily administration twice. Both of them are inhibitors of HIV integrase. The FDA official claim that the AIDS patient should be subject to targeted treatment on a case-by-case basis. Tivicay will provide patients with new options. In a study done a year ago, 88% of patients had a significant improvement after 48 weeks of Tivicay treatment, better than the efficacy of the Gilead's Atripla. Analysts expect that Dolutegravir will become a multi-billion-dollar blockbuster drug and a strong contender for Atripla, the world's best-selling HIV drug, developed by Gilead Sciences.

Dolutegravir (GSK1349572) is a HIV integrase inhibitor with an IC50 of 2.7 nM and is moderately effective against the significant mutants Y143R, Q148K, N155H, and G140S/Q148H against Raltegravir.
In August 2013, the US FDA approved dolutegravir (also referred to as S/GSK1349572) for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adults and children ages 12 years and older in combination with other antiretroviral drugs. Dolutegravir was approved in Canada in November 2013. HIV/AIDS remains a global epidemic with 35 million people infected, including 2.3 million new infections as of 2012. Dolutegravir joins raltegravir and elvitegravir (this chapter of ARMC) as the latest of three FDA-approved HIV integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs). Dolutegravir was discovered by rational design from a literature diketo acid HIV integrase inhibitor utilizing X-ray coordinates to predict ideal bond angles between the diketone and distal benzyl group. In dolutegravir, the monocyclic component of the reported inhibitor was replaced with the tricyclic carbamoyl pyridone moiety. The researchers postulated that the appropriate arrangement of three oxygens would permit chelation with two magnesium ions in the binding site thus affording improved potency. Ultimately, this arrangement along with further modifications afforded dolutegravir, a potent inhibitor of HIV integrase (IC50=1.7 nM).

Dolutegravir is a second generation HIV-1 integrase strand transfer inhibitor. Dolutegravir is currently in Phase III clinical trials for the treatment of HIV infection. Dolutegravir has been shown to potently inhibit HIV replication in cells such as peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), MT-4 cells and CIP4 cells infected with a self-inactivating PHIV lentiviral vector.
ChEBI: A monocarboxylic acid amide obtained by formal condensation of the carboxy group of (4R,12aS)-7-hydroxy-4-methyl-6,8-dioxo-3,4,6,8,12,12a-hexahydro-2H-pyrido[1',2':4,5]pyrazino[2,1-b][1,3]ox
zine-9-carboxylic acid with the amino group of 2,4-difluorobenzylamine. Used (as its sodium salt) for treatment of HIV-1.

Treatment of HIV
Potentially hazardous interactions with other drugs
Antidepressants: concentration reduced by St John’s
wort.
Antiepileptics: concentration reduced by
carbamazepine and possibly fosphenytoin,
oxcarbazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin and
primidone.
Antivirals: concentration reduced by efavirenz,
tipranavir, etravirine and fosamprenavir; possibly
reduced by nevirapine.
Dolutegravir is primarily metabolised through
glucuronidation via UGT1A1 with a minor CYP3A
component.
53% of the total oral dose is excreted unchanged in
the faeces. It is unknown if all or part of this is due to
unabsorbed active substance or biliary excretion of the
glucuronidate conjugate, which can be further degraded to
form the parent compound in the gut lumen.
