Review-ready Target Rationale

Why Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 reverse transcriptase matters

As of 2026-09-13

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 reverse transcriptase is reviewed as Reverse transcriptase/RNaseH (UniProt Q72547); Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 reverse transcriptase shows approved-linked disease relevance led by HIV infection. 5 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block.; 31 linked drugs keep this evidence frame grounded.; the current evidence base includes 35 approved drugs, 8652 compounds, and 2087 assays, with lead potency reaching pChEMBL 10.8.

Protein context
Reverse transcriptase/RNaseH

Reverse transcriptase/RNaseH Sequence length is 566 aa.

Review this target as Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 reverse transcriptase, mapped to UniProt Q72547. ChEMBL maps the protein component as Reverse transcriptase/RNaseH. Sequence length is 566 aa.

Disease context
HIV infection

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 reverse transcriptase shows approved-linked disease relevance led by HIV infection. 5 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 31 linked drugs keep the rationale reviewable. 5 additional disease programs remain visible in the same card. Linked drugs include ABACAVIR SULFATE, AMDOXOVIR, APRICITABINE.

Start review with HIV infection because it currently carries approved-linked support. Linked drugs include ABACAVIR SULFATE, AMDOXOVIR, APRICITABINE, ATEVIRDINE MESYLATE. This disease block keeps the Open Targets-ready contract explicit while current evidence comes from ChEMBL mechanism and indication mappings.
