The discovery of HIV-1 as the causative agent of AIDS together with an ever- increasing understanding of the virus replication cycle have been instrumental in this effort by providing researchers with the knowledge and tools required to prosecute drug discovery efforts focused on targeted inhibition with specific pharmacological agents. To date, an arsenal of 24 Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drugs are available for treatment of HIV-1 infections. These drugs are distributed into six distinct classes based on their molecular mechanism and resistance profiles: (1) nucleoside-analog reverse tran- scriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), (2) non–nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), (3) integrase inhibitors, (4) protease inhibitors (PIs), (5) fusion inhibitors, and (6) coreceptor antagonists. In this article, we will review the basic principles of antiretroviral drug therapy, the mode of drug action, and the factors leading to treatment failure (i.e., drug resistance). BASIC PRINCIPLES OF ANTIRETROVIRAL development and approval for human use is THERAPY described in Figure 1. Since the first HIV-1 specific antiviral drugs efore 1996, few antiretroviral treatment were given as monotherapy in the early 1990s, Boptions for HIV-1 infection existed.

Uckun1,2* 1Microbicide Development Laboratory, Developmental Therapeutics Program, Children’s Center for Cancer and Blood Diseases, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles & Department of Pediatrics, CA, USA 2University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine, Los Angeles, CA, USA Abstract The predominant route of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) transmission is across the vaginal and rectal epithelia during sexual intercourse. Yet the development of safe and clinically effective vaginal and rectal antiretroviral microbicides remains an unmet challenge despite more than 25 years of accelerated product development. The clinical failure of seven microbicide candidates points to major unresolved challenges associated with target specificity, safety, potency as well as drug-delivery of validated candidates undergoing preclinical and clinical development as anogenital microbicides. Currently, additional antiretroviral agents are sought as anogenital microbicides to provide potential anti-HIV protection by directly inactivating HIV-1, preventing HIV-1 from attaching, entering or replicating in susceptible target cells, and/or by hindering the dissemination of HIV-1 to the host cells that line the vaginal/rectal walls along with targeting novel HIV-host dependency factors. Among the several types of anti-HIV microbicides currently in preclinical and clinical development, only one clinical trial of an HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitor has shown clinical promise as a potential microbicide.

  • An Overview on Hiv-1 Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors
    Digest Journal of Nanomaterials and Biostructures Vol. 3, No.4, December 2008, p. 171 - 187 AN OVERVIEW ON HIV-1 REVERSE TRANSCRIPTASE INHIBITORS * Shalini Ravichandran , Ravichandran Veerasamy, Saraswathi Raman, Palamadai Neelakandam Krishnan, Ram Kishore Agrawala Alshifa College of Pharmacy, Perinthalmanna, Kerala,India. aDepartment of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Dr. H. S. Gour Vishwavidyalaya, Sagar (M.P), India – 470 003. Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 reverse transcriptase (HIV-1 RT) is an essential enzyme for retroviral replication. Together with protease inhibitors, drugs inhibiting the RNA- and DNA-dependant DNA polymerase activity of RT are the major components of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), which has dramatically reduced mortality and morbidity of people living with HIV-1/AIDS in developed countries. This article will focus on HIV-1 RT inhibitors (HIV-1 RTIs) approved by the US Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) and those are in phases II and III clinical trials. RT inhibitors belong to two main classes acting by distinct mechanisms. Nucleoside RT inhibitors (NRTIs) lack a 3′ hydroxyl group on their ribose or ribose mimic moiety and thus act as chain terminators. Non-NRTIs bind into a hydrophobic pocket close to the polymerase active site and inhibit the chemical step of the polymerization reaction. For each class of inhibitors, we review the mechanism of action, the resistance mechanisms selected by the virus, and the side effects of the drugs. We also discussed about the new RT inhibitors under development and some QSAR studies on HIV-1 RTIs.

  • Reverse Transcriptase
    Reverse Transcriptase Reverse transcriptases (RTs) are enzyme used to generate complementary DNA (cDNA) from an RNA template, a process termed reverse transcription. Reverse transcriptases (RTs) use an RNA template and a short primer complementary to the 3' end of the RNA to direct the synthesis of the first strand cDNA. Nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) block reverse transcriptase (an HIV enzyme). Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) bind to and block HIV reverse transcriptase. HIV uses reverse transcriptase to convert its RNA into DNA (reverse transcription). Blocking reverse transcriptase and reverse transcription prevents HIV from replicating. www.MedChemExpress.com 1 Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors 2,2'-Anhydrouridine 3'-Azido-3'-deoxy-5-methylcytidine (2,2'-Cyclouridine; O2,2'-Cyclouridine) Cat.

Stampidine epigenetically modulates the host transcriptome in a unique manner, silences expression of a distinct set of genes encoding transcription factors and signal transduction molecules, and prevents HIV infection from distorting and disrupting key cellular transcriptional networks. At nanomolar concentrations that are 4-logs lower than those achieved at its non-toxic dose levels in mice, rats, cats, and dogs, Stampidine switched off genes for several HDFs that are required for HIV replication in T-cells.
