Nucleoside Analogs and Nonnucleoside RT
Inhibitors
• Nucleoside analogs (NRTIs) that are used to treat HIV-1
infections all lack the normal 3’ OH and act as chain
terminators when incorporated into viral DNA
• Nonnucleoside RT inhibitors (NNRTIs) bind to HIV-1 RT
near, but not at, the polymerase active site distorting the
enzyme and blocking the chemical step of viral DNA
synthesis

Nonnucleoside RT Resistance Mechanisms
• Mutations that reduce the interactions between RT and
the bound drug (Y181C, Y188L).
• Mutations that cause steric hindrance with the bound drug
(G190A/S).
• Mutation that makes it more difficult for the NNRTI to
enter the binding pocket (K103N).
• Indirect effects (L100I, V106A, V108A).
HIV Drug Resistance Program

NRTI Resistance
• Resistance to nucleoside analogs (NRTIs) implies that the
mutant reverse transcriptase (RT) has an enhanced
ability to discriminate between the NRTI and the normal
dNTPs.
• This discrimination can occur if the NRTI is incorporated
less efficiently (exclusion) or by enhanced excision of the
NRTI after it has been incorporated (ATP-dependent
pyrophosphorolysis).
HIV Drug Resistance Program
NCI-Frederick
NRTI Resistance Mechanisms
• Exclusion: M184V, 3TC/FTC resistance; steric hinderance
• Exclusion: K65R, Q151M resistance to multiple NRTIs,
altered interactions with the 3’OH of the incoming dNTP
• Excision: TAMs (T215F/Y and friends) cause AZT
resistance by enhanced ATP binding
• Fingers insertions: extend TAMs to cause excision of
many NRTIs

AZT Resistance (Excision)
• Excision involves pyrophosphorolysis (the reverse
of polymerization).
• AZT-resistant RTs preferentially excise AZTMP.
• AZT-resistance mutations enhance the ability of RT
to bind ATP, the in vivo pyrophosphate donor.
• AZT is excised easily because the long azido group
interferes with translocation: an AZT terminated
primer preferentially resides at the N (active) site
where it can be excised

AZT Resistance: Q151M
• Certain NRTI combination therapies (AZT + ddI + ddC)
select Q151M in HIV-1 RT. However, Q151M appears in
only 5% of the treated HIV-1 patients.
• There is less data (fewer treated patients) but HIV-2 prefers
to use the Q151M pathway for AZT resistance
• In HIV-1 (but not HIV-2) the Q151Mutation is usually
accompanied by additional mutations
• Why does HIV-1 predominantly use an ATP-dependent
excision pathway (T215Y/F) while HIV-2 predominantly uses
an AZT exclusion pathway (Q151M)?

HIV-1 and HIV-2 AZT Resistance
• Each virus prefers a resistance pathway that is best suited
to extend the properties of their respective wild-type RTs.
• Viewed in this light, the ability of HIV-1 to develop AZT
(and multi-NRTI) resistance using ATP-mediated excision
is an unfortunate coincidence based on the existence of a
nascent ATP binding site that appears to have no normal
function.
HIV Drug Resistance Program
NCI-Frederick
Delayed Chain Terminators
• HIV-1 excision works efficiently because the NRTI
remains at the end of the primer strand where it can be
excised.
• Delayed chain terminators block DNA synthesis several
nucleotides after they have been incorporated.
• As expected, delayed chain terminators block the excision
reaction and inhibit the growth of viruses that replicate
using excision proficient RTs.
HIV Drug Resistance Program
NCI-Frederick
Conclusions
• There are a number of distinct mechanisms for
NRTI and NNRTI resistance.
• Resistance mechanisms evolve as logical
extensions of the properties of wild type RT.
• Understanding the mechanism(s) of RT
resistance makes it possible to develop
strategies (and drugs) that counteract these
mechanisms .

HIV Infection/Mortality
•
Over 3 million deaths in 2003; about 7 per minute
•
40-50 million infected worldwide
•
In 2003, about 5 million new infections, mostly in
Africa, South and Southeast Asia
•
About 1 million already infected in the US; about
45,000 new infections and 15,000 deaths in 2003

HIV Evolution
•
HIV replication is error prone: Error rate ca. 1 per
genome per replication cycle
•
The rapid replication of the virus, together with the
error rate and high viral load causes the virus to
evolve rapidly
•
The rapid evolution of the virus makes the
problems of vaccine development and drug
therapy particularly difficult

Anti-HIV Drugs and Drug Targets
•
•
•
•
Target should be essential and conserved; enzymes
are better targets (RT, PR, IN)
HIV develops resistance to all drugs
RT has at least two separate drug targets (there may
be more); PR and IN have one
Understand resistance; develop drugs that are
effective against resistant viruses
HIV Drug Resistance Program
NCI-Frederick
Anti-HIV Drugs and Drug Resistance
•
Drugs do not cure an HIV infection
•
Drugs need to be taken (regularly) for the life of
the patient
•
For drugs to be effective replication must be
blocked completely (stop evolution of resistance)
•
It takes at least three drugs in combination to fully
block viral replication/evolution
