Novel pharmacophore-based methods reveal gossypol as a reverse transcriptase inhibitor.
In a program to identify new structural entities for the inhibition of the HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) enzyme via database searching, a series of RT pharmacophores were developed. By utilising a novel filtering technique, the National Cancer Institute database of compounds was scanned producing 15 compounds to be screened for activity. A notable inclusion was a series of gossypol derivativ...
متن کاملRilpivirine: a novel non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor.
Combination antiretroviral therapy has transformed the prognosis and life expectancy of HIV-1 infected individuals in resource-rich settings. British guidelines currently recommend the non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) efavirenz as part of first-line treatment in therapy-naive HIV-1 infected individuals. However, efavirenz is limited by its low genetic barrier to the develo...
متن کاملPharmacophore-based discovery of a novel cytosolic phospholipase A2α inhibitor
The release of arachidonic acid, a precursor in the production of prostaglandins and leukotrienes, is achieved by activity of the cytosolic phospholipase A(2)α (cPLA(2)α). Signaling mediated by this class of bioactive lipids, which are collectively referred to as eicosanoids, has numerous effects in physiological and pathological processes. Herein, we report the development of a ligand-based ph...
متن کاملConformational changes in HIV-1 reverse transcriptase induced by nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor binding.
Nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI) are a group of small hydrophobic compounds with diverse structures that specifically inhibit HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT). NNRTIs interact with HIV-1 RT by binding to a single site on the p66 subunit of the p66/p51 heterodimeric enzyme, termed the NNRTI-binding pocket (NNRTI-BP). This binding interaction results in both short-range and ...
متن کاملRilpivirine: a new non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor
Rilpivirine is a new non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) that is approved for HIV-1 treatmentnaive adult patients in combination with other antiretroviral agents. The recommended dose is a 25 mg tablet once daily taken orally with a meal. Due to cytochrome P450 3A4 enzyme induction or gastric pH increase, rilpivirine cannot be coadministered with a number of other drugs (anti...
