Phenotypic Hypersusceptibility to Multiple Protease Inhibitors and Low Replicative Capacity in Patients Who Are Chronically Infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1

Abstract: Increased susceptibility to the protease inhibitors saquinavir and amprenavir has been observed in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) with specific mutations in protease (V82T and N88S). Increased susceptibility to ritonavir has also been described in some viruses from antiretroviral agent-naïve patients with primary HIV-1 infection in association with combinations of amino acid changes at polymorphic sites in the protease. Many of the viruses displaying increased susceptibility to protease inhibitors… Show more

“…Therefore, we speculate about the possibility that RT mutational patterns found in the clinical isolate could either affect Gag-Pol dimerization or reduce the stability of the viral polyprotein, causing reductions in the levels of active PR. These reductions could be responsible for PR inhibitor hypersusceptibility, a phenomenon that has been previously observed but whose underlying mechanism remains elusive (20,22). In summary, the 3-nucleotide deletion (⌬69) along with S163I in the context of an MDR RT genotype favored the ex vivo RC under drug pressure, in agreement with its in vivo emergence and evolution in a long-term-treated HIV-1-infected patient.…”

“…The learning curves show that for most drugs, Ϸ400 genotype-phenotype examples were required for optimal predictive accuracy and that the MSE then saturates at 0.15-0.20, suggesting that factors other than TSMs influence susceptibility. For example, polymorphic sites influence susceptibility either directly or indirectly by affecting virus replication capacity (16). In addition, protease cleavage site mutations, primarily those in the gag gene, also influence viral replication capacity and drug susceptibility (17).…”
