Rilpivirine (TMC278) is a diarylpyrimidine under under investigation as a treatment for HIV infection. It is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor with many times the potency of current available agents in that class, such as efavirenz.[1][2]It is expected to be FDA approved as soon as 2009.[3]
