Biological evaluation of their HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitory activities was performed using Nevirapine （NVP） as a reference compound. Among the series, compound 7d shows the highest reverse transcriptase inhibitory activity, which is better than Nevirapine.展开更多

This retrospective cross-sectional study characterizes the rates and changes in HIV genotypic mutations and antiretroviral resistance among viremic patients from 2001 to 2006 at the VA Medical Center located in Washington, DC. The District of Columbia is the metropolitan area with the highest HIV prevalence within the United States. De-identified, linked HIV RNA, genotypic reverse transcriptase (RT) and protease (Pr) mutations and antiretroviral resistance results were assessed for changes during the 6-year period. Aggregated clinic and antiretroviral utilization, and HIV acquisition risk data were evaluated for patients in care during this time. Among 990 viremic samples, the rate of any detected RT or Pr mutation fell from 100% in 2001 to 95% in 2006. This was primarily attributable to the 15% - 20% decrease seen for RT gene mutations against nucleoside/nucleotide class and non-nucleoside class during this period. Resistance to didanosine, stavudine, zidovudine, nevirapine and efavirenz decreased, and tenofovir resistance increased. Despite stable rates of Pr gene mutations, atazanavir resistance increased by 22% from 2003 to 2006. Some but not all changes in genotypic mutations and resistance patterns reflected our patients’ antiretroviral drug utilization. As sexual contacts (77%) and injection drug use (22%) were the leading acquisition risks disclosed by our HIV-infected patients, the high prevalence and changing patterns of HIV genotypic mutations and drug resistance among these patients have had pivotal impacts not only on HIV treatment but potential transmission into our community.展开更多

To efficiently analyze inhibitory activity, these compounds were screened against HIV-1 RT and IN respectively via surface plasmon resonance （SPR）, and active compounds were subsequently evaluated by enzyme assay. It was noteworthy that compound A2 exhibited moderate activity against both HIV-1 RT and IN. This result provided information for further development of pyridinone analogues as potent dual HIV-1 inhibitors.展开更多

The currently developed steered molecular dy- namics (SMD) is a complementary approach to experimental techniques in investigating the biochemical processes occurring at microsecond or second time scale, thus SMD may provide dynamical and kinetic processes of ligand-receptor binding and unbinding, which cannot be ac- cessed by the experimental methods. In this article, the methodology of SMD is described, and the applications of SMD simulations for obtaining dynamic insights into protein-ligand interactions are illustrated through two of our own examples. One is associated with the simulations of bind- ing and unbinding processes between huperzine A and acetylcholinesterase, and the other is concerned with the unbinding process of α-APAfrom HIV-1 reverse transcriptase.展开更多
