Abstract Background Little is known about HIV-1 integrase inhibitor resistance in the CNS. Objectives This study aimed to evaluate integrase inhibitor resistance in CSF, as a marker of the CNS, and compare it with the resistance in plasma. Methods HIV integrase was sequenced both in plasma and CSF for 59 HIV-1 patients. The clinical and biological data were collected from clinical routine care. Results Among the 59 HIV-1 patients, 32 (54.2%) were under antiretroviral (ARV) treatment. The median (IQR) HIV-1 RNA in the plasma of viraemic patients was 5.32 (3.85–5.80) and 3.59 (2.16–4.50) log10 copies/mL versus 4.79 (3.56–5.25) and 3.80 (2.68–4.33) log10 copies/mL in the CSF of ARV-naive and ARV-treated patients, respectively. The patients were mainly infected with non-B subtypes (72.2%) with the most prevalent recombinant form being CRF02_AG (42.4%). The HIV-1 integrase sequences from CSF presented resistance mutations for 9/27 (33.3%) and 8/32 (25.0%) for ARV-naive (L74I, n = 3; L74I/M, n = 1; T97A, n = 1; E157Q, n = 4) and ARV-treated (L74I, n = 6; L74M, n = 1; T97A, n = 1; N155H, n = 1) patients, respectively. Integrase inhibitor resistance mutations in CSF were similar to those in plasma, except for 1/59 patients. Conclusions This work shows similar integrase inhibitor resistance profiles in the CNS and plasma in a population of HIV-1 viraemic patients.

The long-acting parenteral formulation of the HIV integrase inhibitor cabotegravir (GSK744) is currently being developed to prevent HIV infections, benefiting from infrequent dosing and high efficacy. The crystal structure can affect the bioavailability and efficacy of cabotegravir. However, the stability determination of crystal structures of GSK744 have remained a challenge. Here, we introduced an ab initio protocol to determine the stability of the crystal structures of pharmaceutical molecules, which were obtained from crystal structure prediction process starting from the molecular diagram. Using GSK744 as a case study, the ab initio predicted that Gibbs free energy provides reliable further refinement of the predicted crystal structures and presents its capability for becoming a crystal stability determination approach in the future. The proposed work can assist in the comprehensive screening of pharmaceutical design and can provide structural predictions and stability evaluation for pharmaceutical crystals.

A concise synthetic strategy towards the spiroketal core of the HIV-integrase inhibitor integramycin (1) was developed. The required ketone precursor was efficiently constructed from two simple and easily accessible subunits by means of a hydrozirconation/copper catalyzed acylation reaction. The effects of different protecting groups on the spiroketalization step were also investigated.

In transition-metal-mediated catalysis, design of new, well defined coordination architectures and subjecting them to catalysis testing under the same reaction conditions is a necessity tool for improved understanding of desirable active site geometries and characteristics.

BACKGROUND: Antiretroviral therapy containing an integrase strand transfer inhibitor plus two Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase inhibitors has now been recommended for treatment of HIV-1-infected patients. This thus determined possible pre-existing integrase resistance associated mutations in the integrase gene prior to introduction of integrase inhibitors combination therapy in Kenya.METHODS: Drug experienced HIV patients were enrolled at Kisii Teaching and Referral in Kenya. Blood specimens from (33) patients were collected for direct sequencing of HIV-1 polintegrase genes. Drug resistance mutations were interpreted according to the Stanford algorithm and phylogenetically analysed using insilico tools.RESULTS: From pooled 188 Kenyan HIV integrase sequences that were analysed for drug resistance, no major mutations conferring resistance to integrase inhibitors were detected. However, polymorphic accessory mutations associated with reduced susceptibility of integrase inhibitors were observed in low frequency; M50I (12.2%), T97A (3.7%), S153YG, E92G (1.6%), G140S/A/C (1.1%) and E157Q (0.5%). Phylogenetic analysis (330 sequences revealed that HIV-1 subtype A1 accounted for majority of the infections, 26 (78.8%), followed by D, 5 (15.2%) and C, 2 (6%).CONCLUSION: The integrase inhibitors will be effective in Kenya where HIV-1 subtype A1 is still the most predominant. However, occurring polymorphisms may warrant further investigation among drug experienced individuals on dolutegravir combination or integrase inhibitor treatment.
