Selected Milestones in Antiviral Drug Development

Viruses
This review article will describe the (wide) variety of approaches that I envisaged to develop a specific therapy for viral infections: (i) interferon and its inducers, (ii) HSV, VZV and CMV inhibitors, (iii) NRTIs (nucleoside reverse transcriptase ...

A comparison of the ability of rilpivirine (TMC278) and selected analogues to inhibit clinically relevant HIV-1 reverse transcriptase mutants

Retrovirology, 2012
Background The recently approved anti-AIDS drug rilpivirine (TMC278, Edurant) is a nonnucleoside inhibitor (NNRTI) that binds to reverse transcriptase (RT) and allosterically blocks the chemical step of DNA synthesis.

Strategies in the Design and Development of Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NNRTIs)

Viruses, 2023
AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) is a potentially life-threatening infectious disease caused by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). To date, thousands of people have lost their lives annually due to HIV infection, and it continues to be a big ...

Evolutionary interplay between viruses and R‐loops

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Viruses interact with specialized nucleic acid structures called R‐loops to influence host transcription, epigenetic states, latency, and immune evasion. This Perspective examines the roles of R‐loops in viral replication, integration, and silencing, and how viruses co‐opt or avoid these structures.

Delivery of Islatravir via High Drug‐Load, Long‐acting Microarray Patches for the Prevention or Treatment of Human Immunodeficiency Virus

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 14, Issue 7, March 14, 2025.
Islatravir‐loaded dissolving microarray patches (MAPs) provide a minimally invasive, long‐acting solution for HIV‐1 prevention and treatment. In rats, sustained islatravir delivery lasts up to three months, while in minipigs, efficacious plasma levels are detected for six days.

AhR‐Dependent Induction of β‐Defensin 1 in Colonic Epithelial Cells Regulates Cross‐Talk between Gut Microbiota and Immune Response Leading to Attenuation of Colitis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies a key signaling pathway involving the environmental sensor AhR and antimicrobial peptides, such as BD‐1, in the regulation of intestinal homeostasis. It highlights the role of BD‐1 in regulating gut microbiota and the intestinal immune response.

Computational Analysis of POL Gene of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1)

Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca, 2009
AIDS results from an infection with HIV-1 virus. It is a class of retrovirus whose genome contains the genes for reverse transcriptase. The gene that codes for reverse transcriptase in HIV-1 is the POL gene.

Neuronal FGF13 Inhibits Mitochondria‐Derived Damage Signals to Prevent Neuroinflammation and Neurodegeneration in a Mouse Model of Parkinson's Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study elucidates a novel role of FGF13 in manipulating neuronal fate via mitochondrial transfer. FGF13 is identified as a mitochondria‐stabilizing protein by interacting with mitochondrial proteins. Under stress, the decrease of neuronal FGF13 fails to retain mitochondria within the cytoplasm, leading to the release of damaged mitochondria to ...

Diagnosis, antiretroviral therapy, and emergence of resistance to antiretroviral agents in HIV-2 infection: a review

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and type 2 (HIV-2) are the causative agents of AIDS. HIV-2 is prevalent at moderate to high rates in West African countries, such as Senegal, Guinea, Gambia, and Cape Verde.

Approaches to repurposing reverse transcriptase antivirals in cancer

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
This review highlights the role of reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibition in cellular regulation associated with non‐terminal repeat retrotransposons and endogenous retroviruses. Based on their pleiotropic characteristics, RT inhibitors (RTIs) are discussed as potential anticancer agents.
