The chemokine receptor antagonists maraviroc and vicriviroc and the integrase inhibitors elvitegravir and raltegravir are novel antiretroviral agents for the treatment of HIV-1 infections. ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters as modulators of the effectiveness and safety of therapy can mediate viral resistance and drug-drug interactions. To expand knowledge on drug-drug interactions of these antiretrovirals we investigated whether these compounds are substrates, inhibitors or inducers of important ABC transporters.
