Sensitivity of Mitochondrial Transcription and Resistance of RNA Polymerase II Dependent Nuclear Transcription to Antiviral Ribonucleosides
Ribonucleoside analogues have potential utility as anti-viral, -parasitic, -bacterial and -cancer agents. However, their clinical applications have been limited by off target effects. Development of antiviral ribonucleosides for treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has been hampered by appearance of toxicity during clinical trials that evaded detection during preclinical studies. It i...
متن کاملPharmacology of nucleoside and nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor-induced mitochondrial toxicity.
OBJECTIVE This paper reviews the function of the mitochondria and the mechanisms by which nucleoside and nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) cause mitochondrial toxicity. BACKGROUND Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) reduces rates of morbidity and mortality due to HIV disease. However, long-term treatment with these drugs may be associated with adverse effects. Nucle...
متن کاملNucleoside analogues and mitochondrial toxicity.
An evaluation of the US Food and Drug Administration's Adverse Event Reporting System identified that patients coinfected with human immunodeficiency virus and chronic hepatitis C virus who were treated with a regimen of ribavirin and didanosine, with or without stavudine, were at increased risk for events associated with mitochondrial toxicity, including fatal hepatic failure, peripheral neuro...
متن کاملAntiretroviral nucleoside analogues suppress antibody synthesis in human B-lymphocytes.
BACKGROUND Some antiretroviral nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI) impair mitochondrial polymerase-γ and T-cell proliferation, possibly by pyrimidine depletion. We aimed to analyse NRTI effects on the content of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and B-cells, and on their proliferation and antibody synthesis. METHODS Peripheral blood B-lymphocytes from six healthy individuals were stimu...
متن کاملMitochondrial toxicity and caspase activation in HIV pregnant women
To assess the impact of HIV-infection and highly active anti-retroviral treatment in mitochondria and apoptotic activation of caspases during pregnancy and their association with adverse perinatal outcome. Changes of mitochondrial parameters and apoptotic caspase activation in maternal peripheral blood mononuclear cells were compared at first trimester of pregnancy and delivery in 27 HIV-infect...
