چکیده
Salvage therapy with ritonavir (RTV) and saquinavir (SQV) failed to achieve virological and immunological improvement in 24 HIV-infected patients who discontinued triple therapy with RTV or indinavir (IDV) because of failure or intolerance to treatment. Changes in the HIV-1 protease gene sequence were analyzed prospectively in 14 patients. No primary protease mutation was found prior to the use of protease inhibitors. After 7 months of treatment with IDV or RTV, primary resistance mutations at codons pol 46 and/or pol 82 were observed in 11 of 13 patients. After 16 weeks on RTV-SQV, novel primary mutations related to SQV emerged in 7 of 13 patients, together with an increase in the number of secondary resistance mutations. Our observations indicate that the cumulative occurrence of resistance mutations in the protease gene was associated with failure of antiretroviral therapy. The presence of mutations to a first protease inhibitor may represent a risk factor for the failure of a subsequent treatment with a second line protease inhibitor. © 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.

The antiviral activity of 2%,3%-dideoxycytidine (ddC) has been investigated in a mouse pneumonia model. Consolidation of lung, histopathological changes, DNA synthesis as well as levels of TNFa were assayed. In this in vivo model, the oral administration of ddC twice daily over 4 days, displayed an inhibitory effect. The drug significantly reduced histopathologic responses. Analysis indicated t...

The essential oil obtained in toto from Santolina insularis was investigated for its antiviral activity on herpes simplex type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2) in vitro. The IC50 values, determined by plaque reduction assays, were 0.88 and 0.7 mg/ml for HSV-1 and HSV-2, respectively, while the CC50 determined by the MTT test on Vero cells was 112 mg/ml, indicating a CC50/IC50 ratio of 127 for HSV-1...

Background : We tested the in vitro activity of pleconaril and AG7088 against five numbered human rhinovirus (HRV) serotypes and 46 clinical HRV isolates of undefined serotype recovered from patients with common colds. Antiviral effect of pleconaril and AG7088 were assessed by cytophathic effect (CPE) inhibition assays in Ohio HeLaI cells using microscopic and spectrophotometric methods. Both c...
