Antiviral efficacy and genotypic resistance patterns of combination therapy with stavudine/tenofovir in highly active antiretroviral therapy experienced patients.
Abstract: Any single type-1 thymidine analogue mutation (TAM; M41L, L210W, T215Y) had a negative effort on the change in HIV RNA at 6 months, whereas among type-2 TAMs (D67N, K70R, K219Q), only D67N showed a trend for a negative effect.
The K65R mutation in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 reverse transcriptase exhibits bidirectional phenotypic antagonism with thymidine analog mutations.
Abstract: Among samples with K65R, a strong negative association was evident with the TAMs M41L, D67N, L210W, T215Y/F, and K219Q/E (P<0.005) but not with other NRTI mutations, including the Q151M complex.
Abstract: To test this possibility, we generated recombinant HIV-1 encoding K65R in two different TAM backgrounds: M41L/L210W/T215Y and D67N/K70R/T215F/K219Q.
Evidence of differential selection of HIV-1 variants carrying drug-resistant mutations in seroconverters.
Abstract: Among RT mutations present both in PTs and SCs, M1841/V and T215F/Y had the lowest relative efficiency of transmission, whereas V1181, Y181C/I and K219E/Q showed the highest relative efficiency.
Fitness comparison of thymidine analog resistance pathways in human immunodeficiency virus type 1.
Abstract: By contrast, introduction of T215F into the D67N/K70R/K219Q background increased viral fitness in the presence of ZDV.
Abstract: Whereas T215Y occurs alone or with M41L and L210W (TAM-1 pattern), T215F rarely occurs with these mutations
Abstract: Whereas introduction of L210W improved the relative fitness of an M41L/T215Y mutant in the presence of ZDV, introduction of this mutation into a D67N/K70R/K219Q background resulted in decreased relative fitness in the presence or absence of drug.
Involvement of novel human immunodeficiency virus type 1 reverse transcriptase mutations in the regulation of resistance to nucleoside inhibitors.
Abstract: Differently, D218E clustered with the NAM2 pathway (D67N+K70R+K219Q+T215F), and its presence in this cluster determined an increase in zidovudine resistance.
Alkoxyalkyl esters of (S)-9-[3-hydroxy-2-(phosphonomethoxy)propyl]adenine are potent inhibitors of the replication of wild-type and drug-resistant human immunodeficiency virus type 1 in vitro.

Abstract: We synthesized several alkoxyalkyl esters of (S)-HPMPA and now report that hexadecyloxypropyl-(S)-HPMPA [HDP-(S)-HPMPA] and octadecyloxyethyl-(S)-HPMPA [ODE-(S)-HPMPA]had 50% effective concentrations of 0.4 to 7.0 nanomolar and were nearly fully active against HIV variants having reverse transcriptase mutations M184V and K103N and against a zidovudine-resistant variant with mutations D67N, K70R, T215Y, and K219Q.
Impact of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase polymorphism at codons 211 and 228 on virological response to didanosine.
Abstract: A mutation score (M41L+D67N+T69D-K70R +L74V-M 1 84V/I+T21 5Y/F+ K219Q/E+ R211A/D/G/K/S+ L228H/M/R), including two RT polymorphisms not previously described to be associated with ddl resistance (211 and 228) and RT mutations previously described, was associated with a continuum of virological response and increased the predictability of virological response to ddl.

Abstract: Eight mutations were associated with a reduced response to ddI, M41L, D67N, T69D, L74V, V118I, L210W, T215Y/F, and K219Q/E, and two mutations were associated with a better response, K70R and M184V/I.
Abstract: The best prediction of the virologic response to ddI was obtained with a composite score comprising mutations added and subtracted (set II, M41L + T69D + L74V+ T215Y/F + K219Q/E - K70R -

Abstract: (-)-(2R,4R)-1-(2-Hydroxymethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)thymine (DOT) is the first thymidine kinase-activated nucleoside that is significantly active against all of the clinically significant NRTI-resistant HIV-1 mutants, including AZT (D67N/K70R/T215Y/K219Q), Tenofovir (K65R), and Lamivudine (M184V).
The 3'-azido group is not the primary determinant of 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine (AZT) responsible for the excision phenotype of AZT-resistant HIV-1.

Abstract: The results indicate that mutations correlated with resistance to AZT (D67N/K70R/T215F/K219Q) confer resistance to the 3'-azidopyrimidine nucleosides (AZddC, AZT, and AZddU) but not to the 3'-azidopurine nucleosides (AZddA and AZddG).
