Association between secondary mutations in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 protease and therapeutic outcome.
To the Editor—Perno et al. [1] report that the number of pretherapy secondary mutations in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 protease and the combination of mutations at codons 10 and 36 are associated with poorer outcome for patients commencing protease inhibitor (PI)–based combination antiretroviral therapy (CART). We have a number of concerns relating to these findings. The statistic...
متن کاملResistance mechanism of human immunodeficiency virus type-1 protease to inhibitors: A molecular dynamic approach
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) protease inhibitors comprise an important class of drugs used in HIV treatments. However, mutations of protease genes accelerated by low fidelity of reverse transcriptase yield drug resistant mutants of reduced affinities for the inhibitors. This problem is considered to be a serious barrier against HIV treatment for the foreseeable future. In this st...
متن کاملNonpolymorphic human immunodeficiency virus type 1 protease and reverse transcriptase treatment-selected mutations.
The spectrum of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) protease and reverse transcriptase (RT) mutations selected by antiretroviral (ARV) drugs requires ongoing reassessment as ARV treatment patterns evolve and increasing numbers of protease and RT sequences of different viral subtypes are published. Accordingly, we compared the prevalences of protease and RT mutations in HIV-1 group M seq...
متن کاملFitness landscape of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 protease quasispecies.
Here we show, at a high resolution (1%), the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) protease gene quasispecies landscape from three infected naïve individuals. A huge range of genetic configurations was found (67%, 71%, and 80% of the nucleotide clones from the three individuals, respectively, were different), and these configurations created a dense net that linked different parts of the ...
متن کاملPharmacodynamics of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 protease inhibitors.
Many factors are involved in the success or failure of antiretroviral therapy. Recent data suggest that there are significant differences in drug absorption and disposition for the protease inhibitor class of antiretroviral drugs, and relationships between plasma concentrations and their antiviral effect have been described. Consequently, the issue of whether therapeutic drug monitoring should ...
