Basic quinolinonyl diketo acid derivatives as inhibitors of HIV integrase and their activity against RNase H function of reverse transcriptase.

ABSTRACT: A series of antiviral basic quinolinonyl diketo acid derivatives were developed as inhibitors of HIV-1 IN. Compounds 12d,f,i inhibited HIV-1 IN with IC50 values below 100 nM for strand transfer and showed a 2 order of magnitude selectivity over 3'-processing. These strand transfer selective inhibitors also inhibited HIV-1 RNase H with low micromolar potencies. Molecular modeling studies based on both the HIV-1 IN and RNase H catalytic core domains provided new structural insights for the future development of these compounds as dual HIV-1 IN and RNase H inhibitors.

Project description:We tested three compounds for their ability to inhibit the RNase H (RH) and polymerase activities of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT). A high-resolution crystal structure (2.2 Å) of one of the compounds showed that it chelates the two magnesium ions at the RH active site; this prevents the RH active site from interacting with, and cleaving, the RNA strand of an RNA-DNA heteroduplex. The compounds were tested using a variety of substrates: all three compounds inhibited the polymerase-independent RH activity of HIV-1 RT. Time-of-addition experiments showed that the compounds were more potent if they were bound to RT before the nucleic acid substrate was added. The compounds significantly inhibited the site-specific cleavage required to generate the polypurine tract (PPT) RNA primer that initiates the second strand of viral DNA synthesis. The compounds also reduced the polymerase activity of RT; this ability was a result of the compounds binding to the RH active site. These compounds appear to be relatively specific; they do not inhibit either Escherichia coli RNase HI or human RNase H2. The compounds inhibit the replication of an HIV-1-based vector in a one-round assay, and their potencies were only modestly decreased by mutations that confer resistance to integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs), nucleoside analogs, or nonnucleoside RT inhibitors (NNRTIs), suggesting that their ability to block HIV replication is related to their ability to block RH cleavage. These compounds appear to be useful leads that can be used to develop more potent and specific compounds.IMPORTANCE Despite advances in HIV-1 treatment, drug resistance is still a problem. Of the four enzymatic activities found in HIV-1 proteins (protease, RT polymerase, RT RNase H, and integrase), only RNase H has no approved therapeutics directed against it. This new target could be used to design and develop new classes of inhibitors that would suppress the replication of the drug-resistant variants that have been selected by the current therapeutics.

Project description:UnlabelledHIV-1 protease (PR), reverse transcriptase (RT), and integrase (IN) variability presents a challenge to laboratories performing genotypic resistance testing. This challenge will grow with increased sequencing of samples enriched for proviral DNA such as dried blood spots and increased use of next-generation sequencing (NGS) to detect low-abundance HIV-1 variants. We analyzed PR and RT sequences from >100,000 individuals and IN sequences from >10,000 individuals to characterize variation at each amino acid position, identify mutations indicating APOBEC-mediated G-to-A editing, and identify mutations resulting from selective drug pressure. Forty-seven percent of PR, 37% of RT, and 34% of IN positions had one or more amino acid variants with a prevalence of ?1%. Seventy percent of PR, 60% of RT, and 60% of IN positions had one or more variants with a prevalence of ?0.1%. Overall 201 PR, 636 RT, and 346 IN variants had a prevalence of ?0.1%. The median intersubtype prevalence ratios were 2.9-, 2.1-, and 1.9-fold for these PR, RT, and IN variants, respectively. Only 5.0% of PR, 3.7% of RT, and 2.0% of IN variants had a median intersubtype prevalence ratio of ?10-fold. Variants at lower prevalences were more likely to differ biochemically and to be part of an electrophoretic mixture compared to high-prevalence variants. There were 209 mutations indicative of APOBEC-mediated G-to-A editing and 326 mutations nonpolymorphic treatment selected. Identification of viruses with a high number of APOBEC-associated mutations will facilitate the quality control of dried blood spot sequencing. Identifying sequences with a high proportion of rare mutations will facilitate the quality control of NGS.ImportanceMost antiretroviral drugs target three HIV-1 proteins: PR, RT, and IN. These proteins are highly variable: many different amino acids can be present at the same position in viruses from different individuals. Some of the amino acid variants cause drug resistance and occur mainly in individuals receiving antiretroviral drugs. Some variants result from a human cellular defense mechanism called APOBEC-mediated hypermutation. Many variants result from naturally occurring mutation. Some variants may represent technical artifacts. We studied PR and RT sequences from >100,000 individuals and IN sequences from >10,000 individuals to quantify variation at each amino acid position in these three HIV-1 proteins. We performed analyses to determine which amino acid variants resulted from antiretroviral drug selection pressure, APOBEC-mediated editing, and naturally occurring variation. Our results provide information essential to clinical, research, and public health laboratories performing genotypic resistance testing by sequencing HIV-1 PR, RT, and IN.
