  • The Design, Synthesis and Optimization of Allosteric Hiv-1
    THE DESIGN, SYNTHESIS AND OPTIMIZATION OF ALLOSTERIC HIV-1 INTEGRASE INHIBITORS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Janet Antwi Graduate Program in Pharmaceutical Sciences The Ohio State University 2017 Dissertation Committee: Professor James R. Fuchs, Advisor Professor Werner Tjarks Professor Karl A. Werbovetz Copyright by Janet Antwi 2017 Abstract In the past quarter century, there has been tremendous progress in the discovery of antiretroviral therapy, making HIV/AIDS a manageable chronic disease. However, the HIV virus is relentless and continues to evolve under drug pressure to escape control and continue infection. The enzyme HIV integrase is responsible for the incorporation of viral double stranded DNA into a host chromosomal DNA and has recently become an attractive target in combating HIV resistance. Raltegravir (RAL), elvitegravir (EVG) and dolutegravir (DTG) are three clinically approved active-site integrase inhibitors. Unfortunately, mutations of the enzyme observed in patients have resulted in resistance to thedrug in the clinic. A new approach to targeting integrase (IN) is the development of allosteric inhibitors that specifically target the protein-protein interaction between IN and its cellular cofactor LEDGF/p75. Recently discovered quinoline-based allosteric integrase inhibitor (ALLINI) B1224436 was the first compound to advance into clinical trials but was discontinued due to poor pharmacokinetic properties including low in vivo clearance. In addition, several reports have revealed the emergence of resistance due to mutation to quinoline based ALLINIs. Applying scaffold hopping approach, several pyridine-based, thiophenes, ii pyrazoles, isoquinolines and other heteroaromatic cores have been studied as ALLINIs.

  • Trends in Antiretroviral Treatment in Australia
    AUSTRALIAN HIV OBSERVATIONAL DATABASE (AHOD) ANNUAL REPORT (Volume 20, Number 1: December 2020) 2020 Clinical characteristics of overseas-born men who have sex with men (MSM) in the AHOD cohort and implications for clinical practice In Australia HIV notifications are increasing among overseas-born men who have sex with men (MSM), particularly among Asian-born MSM. Australian evidence suggests that culturally and/or linguistically diverse populations are less likely to start treatment early irrespective of CD4 cell count at diagnosis, but little is known about response once in care. Using data from AHOD, Jolie L Hutchinson and colleagues (2020) compared treatment response in overseas-born MSM from non-English-speaking countries with Australian-born MSM, further categorised based on participation in the Australian Temporary Residents Access Study (ATRAS) which provide temporary residents ineligible for Medicare, access to HIV treatment. ATRAS patients were chosen as the closest surrogate to identifying newly arrived overseas-born MSM. The authors explored the time to first virological suppression (VS) (viral load (VL) <400 copies/mL) and time to virological failure (VF) (>400 copies/mL after suppression). CD4 cell counts and VL measurements were taken at treatment initiation. Adjusted Hazard Ratios (HR) are reported with 95% CI. Results, as shown in figure 1, indicate that overseas-born MSM did not differ significantly in the rate of VS or in the rate of first VF after suppression. This result is different from findings in other settings, and differences may, in part, be explained by the nature of healthcare provision. In Australia, all residents can access ART for free or with a small co-payment; those ineligible for Medicare can get pharmaceutical company-provided ART which is not necessarily straightforward for non-English speakers.

  • Mutational Studies of Novel Screened Molecules Against Wild and Mutated HIV-1 Integrase Using Molecular Docking Studies Pawan Gupta1,2*, Prabha Garg2
    Research Article Mutational studies of novel screened molecules against wild and mutated HIV-1 integrase using molecular docking studies Pawan Gupta1,2*, Prabha Garg2 ABSTRACT Background and Aim: The screened molecules which proposed novel HIV-1 integrase inhibitors were collected from the literature. Mutational studies were performed to check whether these molecules are having good binding affinity against mutated HIV-1 IN or not using molecular docking technique. Materials and Methods: First, homology models of the mutated HIV-1 IN were prepared and subsequently all the models were refined and optimized in MODELLER program. Next, molecular docking studies were performed into the active site of mutated HIV-1 IN models using the proposed inhibitors in AutoDock 4.1 program. The results of these studies were compared with the wild type docking studies. Results: The docking studies were found that some of the screened molecules (ZINC1245110, 131614, 92749, ZINC05181828, and ZINC13147504) followed the same binding patterns (in term of locations, interactions, and binding score) as found with wild type HIV-1 IN. Conclusions: Computationally, the same binding patterns were exhibited by these molecules (ZINC1245110, 131614, 92749, ZINC05181828, and ZINC13147504) against mutated models as wild type. This elucidated that these molecules having susceptibility against the drug-resistant HIV-1 IN. Hence, these molecules may be used as a starting point to design novel inhibitors against mutated HIV-1 IN, which need to be confirmed experimentally. KEY WORDS: Docking, Drug resistance, Homology modeling, HIV-1 integrase, Mutation INTRODUCTION Drug resistance is the inevitable consequence of incomplete suppression of HIV-1 replication. The Human immuno-virus (HIV) causes AIDS.

  • Bictegravir-Tenofovir Alafenamide-Emtricitabine (Biktarvy)
    © National HIV Curriculum PDF created September 25, 2021, 12:10 pm Bictegravir-Tenofovir alafenamide-Emtricitabine (Biktarvy) Table of Contents Bictegravir-Tenofovir alafenamide-Emtricitabine Biktarvy Summary Drug Summary Key Clinical Trials Key Drug Interactions Figures Drug Summary Bictegravir-tenofovir alafenamide-emtricitabine is a single-tablet regimen that is comprised of an integrase strand transfer inhibitor (bictegravir) combined with two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (tenofovir alafenamide and emtricitabine). Bictegravir, which is not FDA-approved as an individual antiretroviral medication, has a high barrier to resistance, is well tolerated, and, extrapolating from the phase 3 data, has virologic efficacy comparable to dolutegravir. Bictegravir levels can be reduced with medications or oral supplement that contain polyvalent cations (e.g. Ca, Mg, Al, Fe). Bictegravir blocks tubular secretion of creatinine and typically raises serum creatinine by about 0.1 mg/dL, but without affecting renal glomerular function. Phase 3 trials in antiretroviral-naïve persons as well as switch trials in persons with virologic suppression have shown excellent efficacy with bictegravir-tenofovir alafenamide-emtricitabine. Available data suggest that bictegravir has a high genetic barrier to resistance. Key Clinical Trials In a phase 3 trial, 629 antiretroviral-naïve adults were randomized to receive bictegravir-tenofovir alafenamide-emtricitabine or dolutegravir-abacavir-lamivudine; after 48 weeks, there was no significant difference
