The present invention relates to a combination therapy for treating an HIV infection or inhibiting integrase comprising (S)-6-(3-Chloro-2-fluorobenzyl)-1-(1-hydroxymethyl-2-methylpropyl)-7-methoxy-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid ('Compound A') or a pharmaceutically acceptable solvate or salt thereof in combination with at least one other anti-HIV agent. In some embodiments of the present invention, the other anti-HIV agents are chosen from reverse transcriptase inhibitors and protease inhibitors. In certain embodiments of the present invention, the other anti-HIV agents are chosen from AZT, 3TC, PMPA, efavirenz, indinavir, nelfinavir, a combination of AZT/3TC, and a combination of PMPA/3TC. Since Compound A has a high inhibitory activity specific for integrases, when used in combinations with other anti-HIV agents it can provide a combination therapy with fewer side effects for humans.

Combination therapy

An anti-HIV agent containing, as an active ingredient, a 4-oxoquinoline compound represented by the following formula [I] wherein each symbol is as defined in the specification, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The compound of the present invention has HIV integrase inhibitory action and is useful as an anti-HIV agent for the prophylaxis or therapy of AIDS. Moreover, by a combined use with other anti-HIV agents such as protease inhibitors, reverse transcriptase inhibitors and the like, the compound can become a more effective anti-HIV agent. Since the compound has high inhibitory activity specific for integrases, it can provide a safe pharmaceutical agent with a fewer side effects for human.

4-oxoquinoline compound and use thereof as HIV integrase inhibitor

The present invention relates to a compound represented by the following formula [I] wherein each symbol is as defined in the specification, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a solvate thereof, and a pharmaceutical composition, an anti-HIV agent and an HIV integrase inhibitor containing such compound. The compound of the present invention has an HIV integrase inhibitory activity, and is useful as an anti-HIV agent, or as an agent for the prophylaxis or treatment of AIDS. In addition, by the combined use with other anti-HIV agents such as a protease inhibitor, a reverse transcriptase inhibitor and the like, it can be a more effective anti-HIV agent. Because it shows integrase-specific high inhibitory activity, the compound can be a pharmaceutical agent safe on human body, which causes only a fewer side effects.

6-(heterocyclyl-substituted benzyl)-4-oxoquinoline compound and use thereof as HIV integrase inhibitor

A pharmaceutical agent having an anti-HIV action, particularly, a pharmaceutical agent having an integrase inhibitory action, is provided. The present invention relates to a quinolizinone compound represented by the following formula [I] wherein each symbol is as defined in the specification, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and an anti-HIV agent containing same as an active ingredient. The compound of the present invention has an HIV integrase inhibitory action and is useful as an anti-HIV agent for the prophylaxis or therapy of AIDS. Moreover, by a combined use with other anti-HIV agents such as protease inhibitors, reverse transcriptase inhibitors and the like, the compounds can become a more effective anti-HIV agent. Since the compound has a high inhibitory activity specific for integrases, the compound can provide a safe pharmaceutical agent for human with a fewer side effects.

Quinolizinone compound and use thereof as HIV integrase inhibitor

Provision of a compound having an anti-HIV activity, particularly an integrase inhibitory activity. A 4-oxoquinoline compound represented by the following formula [I] or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof: wherein each symbol is as defined in the specification. The present invention also relates to a pharmaceutical composition containing the 4-oxoquinoline compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier; an integrase inhibitor, an antiviral agent, anti-HIV agent, and the like, which contains the 4-oxoquinoline compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an active ingredient; an anti-HIV composition containing the 4-oxoquinoline compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and one or more other kinds of anti-HIV activity substances as active ingredients; an anti-HIV agent containing the 4-oxoquinoline compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an active ingredient, which is used for a multiple drug therapy with other anti-HIV agent(s), and the like.

The present invention relates to a nitrogen-containing fused ring compound represented by the following formula [I] wherein each symbol is as defined in the specification, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and an anti-HIV agent containing such compound. The compound of the present invention has an HIV integrase inhibitory activity, and is useful as an agent for the prophylaxis or treatment of AIDS, or as an anti-HIV agent. In addition, by the combined use with other anti-HIV agents such as a protease inhibitor, a reverse transcriptase inhibitor and the like, it can be a more effective anti-HIV agent. Because it shows integrase-specific high inhibitory activity, the compound can be a pharmaceutical agent safe on human body, which causes only a fewer side effects.
