Structure of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase bound to an inhibitor active against mutant reverse transcriptases resistant to other nonnucleoside inhibitors.
Abstract: Modeling the asparagine mutation of lysine 103 shows that a hydrogen bond between it and tyrosine 188 could form as readily in the CP-94,707 complex as it does in the apoenzyme structure, providing an explanation for the activity of this inhibitor against this clinically important mutant.

Abstract: The compounds had significantly reduced activity against the characteristic NNRTI-resistant virus mutants (bearing the K103N and Y181C RT mutations), thereby acting as non-nucleoside HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitors (NNRTIs).

Abstract: Virus isolated from these two animals contained the K103N and Y188C or Y188L mutations.
2004: which HIV-1 drug resistance mutations are common in clinical practice?
Abstract: For example, only the nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) mutations M184V, M41L T215Y, D67N, K70R and L210W, non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) mutations K103N and Y181C, and protease inhibitor (PI) mutation L90M, occur in more than 10% of samples tested for resistance in this population.
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: We report 3 cases of antiretroviral-naive African immigrants infected with HIV-1 strains possessing the K103N mutation in the reverse transcriptase gene, which confers high-level resistance to all nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors.
Effects of the G190A substitution of HIV reverse transcriptase on phenotypic susceptibility of patient isolates to delavirdine.
Abstract: CONCLUSIONS: The data suggest that the presence of a G190A substitution attenuates the phenotypic resistance associated with a K103N substitution, although resistance is still present.
Abstract: In the group with only K103N substitution, acquisition of resistance to all NNRTIs was observed.
Abstract: In the group with the double substitutions, G190A and K103N, delavirdine susceptibility decreased 13-fold, while resistance to nevirapine and efavirenz decreased by 239- and 154-folds, respectively (Kruskal-Wallis H P = 0.009).
Abstract: STUDY DESIGN: We identified 15 individuals, who after treatment with NNRTIs (nevirapine or efavirenz; median exposure of 20 months), developed isolated G19

Expert review of anti-infective therapy
Abstract: Nevirapine-resistant mutations are common to the non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor family and they include K103N, V106A, Y181C, Y188C and G190A.
Nonnucleoside HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors; part 3. Synthesis and antiviral activity of 5-alkyl-2-[(aryl and alkyloxyl-carbonylmethyl)thio]-6-(1-naphthylmethyl) pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones.
Abstract: The most active compound, 5-isopropyl-2-[(4'-methoxyphenylcarbonyl-methyl)thio]-6-(1-naphthylmethyl)pyrimidin-4(3H)-one showed activity against HIV-1 and against the double mutated strain of HIV(Y181C and K103N) in the micromolar range.

Abstract: In an initial screen for activity against a panel of 25 viruses carrying single and double reverse transcriptase amino acid substitutions associated with NNRTI resistance, the EC50 of TMC125 was <5 nM for 19 viruses, including the double mutants K101E+K103N and K103N+Y181C.
