Abstract: Although there is a high degree of cross-resistance among NNRTI, nearly one third of resistant isolates carrying the single Y181C mutation remain susceptible to efavirenz.
Abstract: For isolates containing the single amino acid substitution Y181C, 29% remained fully susceptible to efavirenz, whereas 14% showed intermediate resistance to efavirenz and delavirdine.
Abstract: In the genotypic analysis, the Y181 C mutation was observed in 76% of mutants, and the most common changes were a combination of mutations at positions Y181C/K103N (23%) and the single mutation Y181C (15%).

Abstract: Abacavir plus GW420867X selected only for NNRTI-specific mutations (i.e., K101E, K103R, V106A, and Y181C), including the novel L100V mutation.
N-[2-(4-methylphenyl)ethyl]-N'-[2-(5-bromopyridyl)]-thiourea as a potent inhibitor of NNRTI-resistant and multidrug-resistant human immunodeficiency virus type 1.
Abstract: Notably, HI-244 was 20 times more effective than trovirdine against the multidrug-resistant HIV-1 strain RT-MDR with a V106A mutation (as well as additional mutations involving the RT residues 74V, 41L and 215Y) and seven times more potent than trovirdine against the NNRTI-resistant HIV-1 strain A17 with a Y181C mutation.

Abstract: In marked contrast, the ddC-HEPT molecule 26 displayed the same potency (EC(50) = 0.45 microM) against HIV-1 (wild type and the Y181C nevirapine-resistant strain) and HIV-2 in cell culture.
Abstract: The (N-3 and C-5)AZT-HEPT conjugates 15, 22, and 23 displayed 2-5 microM anti-HIV activity, but they had no effect on the replication of HIV-2 or the HIV-1 strain with the Y181C mutation.

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.
Monte Carlo calculations on HIV-1 reverse transcriptase complexed with the non-nucleoside inhibitor 8-Cl TIBO: contribution of the L100I and Y181C variants to protein stability and biological activity.
Abstract: Using Monte Carlo simulations, both free energy perturbation and linear response calculations were carried out for the transformation of wild-type RT to two key mutants, Y181C and L100I.

Abstract: V106A, Y181C, and Y188C mutations, which have been associated with high levels of resistance to other NNRTIs, were rare in the patient samples in this study, both before and after exposure to efavirenz.
Mutants of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) reverse transcriptase resistant to nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors demonstrate altered rates of RNase H cleavage that correlate with HIV-1 replication fitness in cell culture.
Abstract: In contrast, the Y181C reverse transcriptase demonstrated a selective acceleration of the secondary RNase H cleavage step during both modes of RNase H cleavage.
Abstract: Of the NNRTI-resistant mutants, V179D was more fit than Y181C, and both of these mutants were more fit than V106A, which demonstrated the greatest reduction in RNase H cleavage.
Abstract: Three mutants of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) reverse transcriptase (V106A, V179D, and Y181C), which occur in clinical isolates and confer resistance to nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (
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: When tested against the NNI-resistant HIV-1 strain A17 with a Y181C mutation in RT, HI-511R was found to be 10,000-times more active than nevirapine, 5000-times more active than delavirdine, and 50-times more active than trovirdine.
Structure-based drug design of non-nucleoside inhibitors for wild-type and drug-resistant HIV reverse transcriptase.
Abstract: Modeling studies revealed that for an NNI of HIV RT to be active against RT mutants such as the especially problematic Y181C RT mutant, the following features are required: (a) the inhibitor should be highly potent against wild-type RT and therefore capable of tolerating a considerable activity loss against RT mutants.
