Reverse transcription of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is a crucial step in the life cycle initiated by the viral-coded reverse transcriptase (RT), functioning as RNA-and DNA-dependent DNA polymerase (RDDP and DDDP) and the ribonuclease H (RNase H). The RNase H functions to degrade the RNA strand of the RNA: DNA heteroduplex, which makes it an attractive target for rational anti-HIV-1 drug design and development. Although development of drugs targeting the DNA polymerase have been highly successful, the discovery of drugable inhibitors of HIV RNase H is still in its infancy and none of RNase H inhibitors has reached the clinical development stage currently. This review describes the recent progress in the HIV-1 RNase H inhibitors, focusing on their chemical feature, mechanism and the structure-activity relationship (SAR).
