Message The first antiviral agent, acyclovir for herpes viruses, paves the novel therapeutic way for viral infections. Rational drug research attracts a lot of attention. We have successfully developed elvitegravir, a human immunodeficiency virus integrase inhibitor, with a Japanesee pharmaceutical company. We have established useful assays to identify not only antivirals but also antimicrobials. These agents are expected to be effective for preventing infections. Currently, further drug researches are continuing in our laboratory.
