Abstract Entecavir is one of the therapeutic options currently available for the management of chronic hepatitis B. In this study, we aimed to analyse the virological response and antiviral resistance mutations in chronic hepatitis B subjects experiencing entecavir therapy from the Indian subcontinent. A total of 45 chronic hepatitis B subjects were studied at baseline and were followed up on entecavir treatment. Among these subjects, 25 (56%) were HBeAg-positive at baseline. Virological response was measured by hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA levels. HBV reverse transcriptase (rt) domains were sequenced for the identification of resistance mutations. Three-Dimensional (3D) model of HBV polymerase/rt protein, docking and molecular dynamics simulation (MDS) studies were performed for characterization of antiviral resistance mutations. At the median treatment duration of 6 (IQR 6-11) months, 38 (84%) showed virological response. Subjects who showed anti-HBe response demonstrated significant association with virological response (p=0.034). On sequence analysis, none of the subjects were identified with signature entecavir resistance mutations. However, one subject was exclusively detected with rtV173L mutation. Molecular modeling, docking and MDS studies revealed that the rtV173L mutation cannot confer resistance to entecavir independently. Our findings also showed that the prevailing HBV genotypes, subgenotypes and HBsAg subtypes in this population does not influence treatment outcome to entecavir therapy. In conclusion, entecavir is a potent drug in terms of viral DNA suppression. In addition, none of the subjects developed antiviral resistance mutations to entecavir. Therefore entecavir is a suitable drug of choice in the management of chronic HBV.

Note
Basic Characteristics of Mutations
  • Mutation Site: The specific location in a gene or protein sequence where a change occurs.
  • Mutation Level: The level at which a mutation occurs, including the nucleotide or amino acid level.
  • Mutation Type: The nature of the mutation, such as missense mutation, nonsense mutation, synonymous mutation, etc.
  • Gene/Protein/Region: Refers to the specific region of the virus where the mutation occurs. Including viral genes, viral proteins, or a specific viral genome region. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main
  • Gene/Protein/Region studied in the article is marked.
  • Genotype/Subtype: Refers to the viral genotype or subtype where the mutation occurs. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main Genotype/Subtype studied in the article is marked.
  • Viral Reference: Refers to the standard virus strain used to compare and analyze viral sequences.
Functional Impact and Mechanisms
