Prevalence of HIV-1 resistant to antiretroviral drugs in 81 individuals newly infected by sexual contact or injecting drug use. Investigators of the Quebec Primary Infection Study.
Abstract: The PI mutations, L101, V82A, and L90M, were found in 10.5, 3 and 4% of cases, respectively; whereas for RT, primary mutations at positions T215Y (zidovudine), M184V (lamivudine), T69D/A (zalcitabine), and K103N (multi-NNRTI) were present in 8, 5, 4, and 4% of subjects, respectively.
Non-nucleoside HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors: synthesis and biological evaluation of novel quinoxalinylethylpyridylthioureas as potent antiviral agents.
Abstract: Several of these novel non-nucleoside RT inhibitors, with a substituted pyrroloquinoxalinone heteroaromatic skeleton, showed inhibitory activity against wild-type RT as well as against mutant RTs containing the single amino acid substitutions L1001, K103N, V106A, Y1811 and Y188L that was much greater than other non-nucleoside inhibitors such as nevirapine.

Abstract: Patients with Y181C or G190A single mutations had an initial greater magnitude of viral load suppression than those with K103N, but this advantage was short lived.

Abstract: A K103N substitution was the HIV-1 RT gene mutation most frequently observed among plasma samples from patients for whom combination therapy including efavirenz failed, occurring in at least 90% of cases of efavirenz-indinavir or efavirenz-zidovudine (ZDV)-lamivudine (3TC) treatment failure.
Abstract: The proportion of patients carrying NNRTI resistance mutations, usually K103N, increased dramatically at the time of initial viral load rebound in cases of treatment failure after exposure to efavirenz.
Abstract: Viruses with multiple, linked NNRTI mutations, especially K103N-V108I and K103N-P225H double mutants, accumulated more slowly following the emerg
Development of Novel Dihydrofuro[3,4-d]pyrimidine Derivatives as HIV-1 NNRTIs to Overcome the Highly Resistant Mutant Strains F227L/V106A and K103N/Y181C.
Abstract: An evaluable sample was obtained from one of these three women 33 months after delivery; the K103N mutation was not detected in that sample.
Abstract: CONCLUSIONS: This preliminary study demonstrates that HIV-1 with the RT K103N mutation can be detected in some Ugandan women following a single dose of NVP.
Abstract: RESULTS: The K103N NVP resistance mutation was detected 6 weeks after NVP administration in three (20%) out of 15 women (95% confidence interval, 0-40%).
Abstract: Women with the K103N mutation had a longer median NVP elimination half-life, decreased median oral clearance, and increased median area under the concentration time curve than those without the mutation.
Stereochemistry of halopyridyl and thiazolyl thiourea compounds is a major determinant of their potency as nonnucleoside inhibitors of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase.
Abstract: HI-511 R inhibited the HIV-strain A17 variant, containing RT mutations Y181C plus K103N, with an IC50 value of 2.7 microM, whereas the IC50 values of nevirapine, delavirdine, and trovirdine against this highly NNI-resistant HIV-1 strain were >100 microM.

Abstract: The K103N mutation, which confers nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor cross-resistance, was found in 85% of the patients.
Relative replication fitness of a high-level 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine-resistant variant of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 possessing an amino acid deletion at codon 67 and a novel substitution (Thr-->Gly) at codon 69.
Abstract: A competitive fitness study failed to reveal any differences in replication rates between the delta 67+T69G/K70R/L74I/K103N/T215F/+ ++K219Q mutant and Wt.
Abstract: A high-level 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine (AZT)-resistant variant containing delta 67 plus T69G/K70R/L74I/K103N/T215F/K219Q in RT replicated as efficiently as wild-type virus (Wt).
Structural basis for the resilience of efavirenz (DMP-266) to drug resistance mutations in HIV-1 reverse transcriptase.
Abstract: In order to understand the basis for this resilience at the molecular level and to help the design of further-improved anti-AIDS drugs, we have determined crystal structures of efavirenz and nevirapine with wild-type RT and the clinically important K103N mutant.

Current opinion in drug discovery & development
Abstract: Moreover, when challenged with viruses containing Y181C and K103N dual mutations, calanolide compounds remain active.
Abstract: Of particular interest is the use of calanolide in the treatment of patients who have failed other NNRTI therapy and developed the Y181C mutation or the Y181C/K103N dual mutations.
