Virus Mutation HIV Mutation Y181C


Basic Characteristics of Mutations
Mutation Site Y181C
Mutation Site Sentence The allosteric inhibition of the polymerase function of RT was achieved in the 1990s with non-nucleoside inhibitors (NNRTI) that are still in the first-line therapy, although displaying a fairly low genetic barrier to selection of resistant variants, among which K103N, Y181C, and Y188L are the most common.

Abstract The persistence of the AIDS epidemic, and the life-long treatment required, indicate the constant need of novel HIV-1 inhibitors. In this scenario the HIV-1 Reverse Transcriptase (RT)-associated ribonuclease H (RNase H) function is a promising drug target. Here we report a series of compounds, developed on the 2-amino-6-(trifluoromethyl)nicotinic acid scaffold, studied as promising RNase H dual inhibitors. Among the 44 tested compounds, 34 inhibited HIV-1 RT-associated RNase H function in the low micromolar range, and seven of them showed also to inhibit viral replication in cell-based assays with a selectivity index up to 10. The most promising compound, 21, inhibited RNase H function with an IC(50) of 14 microM and HIV-1 replication in cell-based assays with a selectivity index greater than 10. Mode of action studies revealed that compound 21 is an allosteric dual-site compound inhibiting both HIV-1 RT functions, blocking the polymerase function also in presence of mutations carried by circulating variants resistant to non-nucleoside inhibitors, and the RNase H function interacting with conserved regions within the RNase H domain. Proving compound 21 as a promising lead for the design of new allosteric RNase H inhibitors active against viral replication with not significant cytotoxic effects.

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
