Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education:
Anti-HIV medication is the standard treatment for the HIV infected patient. An important concern of anti-HIV drug use is the adverse effects. The kidney problems due to anti-HIV is widely mentioned. Indinavir and atazanavir are the two drugs with many reports on renal toxicity. Here, the authors use the standard chemoinformatics technique for predicting properties of both drug and compare the derived result. Based on this study, atazanavir seems to be more problematic than indinavir considering the induction of renal problem.
