Result: During clinical studies of raltegravir, three pathways to resistance have been observed involving residues N155H, Q148H/K/R, and Y143C/R.
Discussion: In patients failing therapy with either raltegravir or elvitegravir, the mutations Y143R/C/H have been detected, but no mutations of H67 have been observed in patients.
Biochemical and pharmacological analyses of HIV-1 integrase flexible loop mutants resistant to raltegravir.
Abstract: Resistance to raltegravir (RAL), the first HIV-1 integrase (IN) inhibitor approved by the FDA, involves three genetic pathways: IN mutations N155H, Q148H/R/K, and Y143H/R/C.

Abstract: Four different patterns of IN mutations were observed: (i) emergence of Q148H/R with secondary mutations (n=5 patients); (ii) emergence of N155H, then replaced by a pattern including Y143C/H/R (n=3); (iii) selection of S230N (n=1); and (iv) no evidence of selection of IN mutations (n=2).
Abstract: The median plasma raltegravir Cmin was lower in patients with selection of the N155H mutation followed by Y143C/H/R compared with patients with Q148H/R and with patients without emerging mutations or without VF.
Abstract: The median raltegravir and elvitegravir fold changes (FCs) were 244 (154-647) and 793 (339-892), respectively,
The HIV-1 integrase mutations Y143C/R are an alternative pathway for resistance to Raltegravir and impact the enzyme functions.
Abstract: Characterization of the phenotypic evolution showed that the switch from N155H to Y143C/R was linked to an increase in resistance to RAL.
Abstract: The emergence of the N155H mutation was replaced by a pattern including the Y143R/C/H mutations in three patients with anti-HIV treatment failure.
Abstract: Wild-type (WT) IN and IN with mutations Y143C or Y143R were assayed in vitro in 3'end-processing, strand transfer and concerted integration assays.
Abstract: With 3'end-processing assay, IC(50) were 0.4 microM, 0.9 microM (FC = 2.25) and 1.2 microM (FC = 3) for WT, IN Y143C and

Introduction: Data from clinical trials show that RAL resistance involves IN mutations Y143C, Q148H or R or K or N155H, together with associated secondary mutations that result in higher levels of resistance.
Physical trapping of HIV-1 synaptic complex by different structural classes of integrase strand transfer inhibitors.
Abstract: We found a seven-, 13- and 18-fold increase in EC50 values to S/GSK1349572 for the HIV-2 double (T97A + Y143C; G140S + Q148R) and triple (G140T + Q148R + N155H) mutants, respectively, obtained from two raltegravir-experienced patients.
Polymorphisms of HIV-2 integrase and selection of resistance to raltegravir.
Introduction: RAL resistance is not well documented for HIV-2, although cases of therapy failure have been associated with the emergence of variants carrying the Y143C, Q148K/R, or N155 H mutations, including Y143Y+T97A or Q148K, or Q148R+G140 S.
Extended use of raltegravir in the treatment of HIV-1 infection: optimizing therapy.
Abstract: The development of resistance to raltegravir mainly involved three resistance mutations in integrase gene: Q148H/K/R, N155H, and Y143C/H/R.
Discussion: A recent crystal structure study enabled to describe the interactions between HIV-1 integrase residue Tyr 143 and the methyloxadiazole group of raltegravir, which could explain the role of the Y143C/H/R mutations in the development of resistance to raltegravir.
Discussion: Moreover, the characterization of the phenotypic evolution showed that a switch from N155H to Y143C/R was linked to an increase in resistance to raltegravir.
Discussion: Most of these shifts in raltegravir-resistance profiles

Abstract: HIV resistance to raltegravir is the consequence of mutations located close to the integrase active site, which can be divided into three main evolutionary pathways: the N155H, the Q148R/H/K and the Y143R/C pathways.
Abstract: Resistance is frequently initiated by viruses carrying mutations of the N155H pathway, followed by emergence and further dominance of viral genomes carrying mutations of the Q148R/H/K or of the Y143R/C pathways, which express higher levels of resistance.
