TSAO compounds: The comprehensive story of a unique family of HIV-1 specific inhibitors of reverse transcriptase [PDF]
Emergence of drug-resistant viral strains is one of the major milestones and the main cause for the failure of antiretroviral therapy. Combination of different anti-HIV agents has E become the standard clinical practice to keep the viral load at low or ...

Emergence of an NNRTI Resistance Mutation Y181C in an HIV-Infected NNRTI-Naive Patient
The purpose of our study was to examine the emergence of the Y181C resistance mutation in an NNRTI-naive subject (index patient) at different time points. Phylogenetic trees in protease (PR) and partial reverse transcriptase (RT) regions were inferred by the maximum likelihood (ML) method.

A Retrospective Survey of HIV Drug Resistance Among Patients 1 Year After Initiation of Antiretroviral Therapy at 4 Clinics in Malawi [PDF]
In 2004, Malawi began scaling up its national antiretroviral therapy (ART) program. Because of limited treatment options, population-level surveillance of acquired human immunodeficiency virus drug resistance (HIVDR) is critical to ensuring long-term ...

3D QSAR Studies of DAMNI Analogs as Possible Non-nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors
The non-nucleoside inhibitors of HIV-1-reverse transcriptase (NNRTIs) are an important class of drugs employed in antiviral therapy. Recently, a novel family of NNRTIs commonly referred to as 1-[2-diarylmethoxy] ethyl) 2-methyl-5-nitroimidazoles (DAMNI ...

The “Connection” Between HIV Drug Resistance and RNase H
Currently, nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) and nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) are two classes of antiretroviral agents that are approved for treatment of HIV-1 infection. Since both NRTIs and NNRTIs target the

Effect of reverse transcriptase inhibitors on LINE-1 and Ty1 reverse transcriptase activities and on LINE-1 retrotransposition [PDF]
Background LINE-1s (L1, Long Interspersed Element-1) are the most abundant autonomous non-LTR retrotransposons in the human genome and replicate by reverse transcription of an RNA intermediate.

HIV-1 drug mutations in children from northern Tanzania [PDF]
Objectives: In resource-limited settings, it is a challenge to get quality clinical specimens due to poor infrastructure for their collection, transportation, processing and storage. Using dried blood spots (DBS) might be an alternative to plasma for HIV-
