The new and less toxic protease inhibitor saquinavir-NO maintains anti-HIV-1 properties in vitro indistinguishable from those of the parental compound saquinavir.
Abstract: The following recombinant viruses were generated and tested: L33F, M46I, G48V, I54V, I84V + L90M, M46I + L90M, G48V + L90M, M46I + I54V + L90M, L33F + M46I + L90M.

Method: An OLA was performed on all amplicons derived from plasma and PBMC using probes that detect mutations associated with high-level drug-resistance to NFV, codons D30N (AAT) and L90M (ATG), nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI) at codons K70R (AGA), M184V (GTG), and T215F/Y (TTC, TAC), and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI) at codons K103N (AAC), Y181C (TGT), and G190A (GCA) as described.

Abstract: Only one patient, CRF02_AG, showed major resistance mutation L90M.
Result: However, only patient SE59 had the major mutation L90M (1/28; 3.5%).
Table: L90M
Discussion: In fact, only one patient, subtype CRF02_AG, had L90M mutation probably as a result of receiving antiretroviral therapy during two years (1/28, 3.5%).
TMC310911, a novel human immunodeficiency virus type 1 protease inhibitor, shows in vitro an improved resistance profile and higher genetic barrier to resistance compared with current protease inhibitors.

Abstract: IVRS performed with r13025, a multiple-PI-resistant recombinant clinical isolate, and TMC310911 selected for mutations L10F, I47V, and L90M (FC in TMC310911 EC(50) = 16).

Discussion: A similar pattern was displayed by isolates from our study, 50% of these harbouring the L89M polymorphism, while only 5.3% the L90M mutation.
Discussion: Regarding protease inhibitors susceptibility, in Brazilian subtype F1 isolates, presence of the L89M polymorphism in the protease gene was related to the maintenance of viral fitness, conferring a higher genetic barrier to the accumulation of the L90M resistance mutation, the latter being considered a predictor of failure to Kaletra-based regimens.
Does GSS still maintain relevance on HAART outcome after the introduction of newest active antiretroviral drugs? 48 weeks results.
Abstract: Protease inhibitor resistance rates in women receiving nelfinavir were 1.1% for D30N (1.1% by ASPCR) and 1.1% for L90M.
Result: Using population sequencing, each of the D30N and L90M mutations were detected in one out of 87 women receiving nelfinavir during PLAT (1.1% [95% CI: 0.03%-6.24%] for each mutation).
