Pharmacokinetic and Safety Profile of the Novel HIV Nonnucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor MK-8507 in Adults without HIV.

ABSTRACT: MK-8507 is a novel HIV-1 nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor in clinical development with potential for once-weekly oral administration for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. Two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 1 studies in adults without HIV-1 evaluated the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of single and multiple doses of MK-8507; drug interaction with midazolam (a cytochrome P450 3A4 substrate) and food effect were also assessed. In study 1, 16 participants received oral ascending single doses of MK-8507 (2 to 400 mg) or placebo in an alternating fashion. In study 2, 24 participants received ascending single doses of MK-8507 (400 to 1,200 mg) or placebo and multiple doses (once weekly for 3 weeks) of MK-8507 (100 to 400 mg) or placebo. MK-8507 pharmacokinetics were approximately dose proportional at 2 to 1,200 mg. MK-8507 had a time to maximum concentration of 2 to 7 h and a mean terminal half-life of ∼58 to 84 h. MK-8507 doses of ≥100 mg achieved a plasma concentration at 168 h postdose (7 days) associated with antiviral efficacy. A high-fat meal had no clinically meaningful effect on MK-8507 pharmacokinetics, and MK-8507 400 mg once weekly had no clinically meaningful effect on midazolam pharmacokinetics. Single and multiple doses of MK-8507 were generally well tolerated. No trends with dose and no clinically meaningful changes were observed in vital signs, electrocardiograms, and laboratory safety tests. The pharmacokinetics and safety data are supportive of once-weekly oral administration and support further clinical investigation of MK-8507 for the treatment of HIV-1 infection.

In vitro characterization of MK-1439, a novel HIV-1 nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor.

Project description:Nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) are a mainstay of therapy for treating human immunodeficiency type 1 virus (HIV-1)-infected patients. MK-1439 is a novel NNRTI with a 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 12, 9.7, and 9.7 nM against the wild type (WT) and K103N and Y181C reverse transcriptase (RT) mutants, respectively, in a biochemical assay. Selectivity and cytotoxicity studies confirmed that MK-1439 is a highly specific NNRTI with minimum off-target activities. In the presence of 50% normal human serum (NHS), MK-1439 showed excellent potency in suppressing the replication of WT virus, with a 95% effective concentration (EC95) of 20 nM, as well as K103N, Y181C, and K103N/Y181C mutant viruses with EC95 of 43, 27, and 55 nM, respectively. MK-1439 exhibited similar antiviral activities against 10 different HIV-1 subtype viruses (a total of 93 viruses). In addition, the susceptibility of a broader array of clinical NNRTI-associated mutant viruses (a total of 96 viruses) to MK-1439 and other benchmark NNRTIs was investigated. The results showed that the mutant profile of MK-1439 was superior overall to that of efavirenz (EFV) and comparable to that of etravirine (ETR) and rilpivirine (RPV). Furthermore, E138K, Y181C, and K101E mutant viruses that are associated with ETR and RPV were susceptible to MK-1439 with a fold change (FC) of <3. A two-drug in vitro combination study indicated that MK-1439 acts nonantagonistically in the antiviral activity with each of 18 FDA-licensed drugs for HIV infection. Taken together, these in vitro data suggest that MK-1439 possesses the desired properties for further development as a new antiviral agent.

Conformational changes in HIV-1 reverse transcriptase induced by nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor binding.

Project description:Nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI) are a group of small hydrophobic compounds with diverse structures that specifically inhibit HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT). NNRTIs interact with HIV-1 RT by binding to a single site on the p66 subunit of the p66/p51 heterodimeric enzyme, termed the NNRTI-binding pocket (NNRTI-BP). This binding interaction results in both short-range and long-range distortions of RT structure. In this article, we review the structural, computational and experimental evidence of the NNRTI-induced conformational changes in HIV-1 RT and relate them to the mechanism by which these compounds inhibit HIV-1 reverse transcription.

Nonnucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor Hypersusceptibility and Resistance by Mutation of Residue 181 in HIV-1 Reverse Transcriptase.

Project description:Substitutions at residue Y181 in HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT), in particular, Y181C, Y181I, and Y181V, are associated with nonnucleoside RT inhibitor (NNRTI) cross-resistance. In this study, we used kinetic and thermodynamic approaches, in addition to molecular modeling, to gain insight into the mechanisms by which these substitutions confer resistance to nevirapine (NVP), efavirenz (EFV), and rilpivirine (RPV). Using pre-steady-state kinetics, we found that the dissociation constant (Kd ) values for inhibitor binding to the Y181C and Y181I RT-template/primer (T/P) complexes were significantly reduced. In the presence of saturating concentrations of inhibitor, the Y181C RT-T/P complex incorporated the next correct deoxynucleoside triphosphate (dNTP) more efficiently than the wild-type (WT) complex, and this phenotype correlated with decreased mobility of the RT on the T/P substrate. Interestingly, we found that the Y181F substitution in RT-which represents a transitional mutation between Y181 and Y181I/V, or a partial revertant-conferred hypersusceptibility to EFV and RPV at both the virus and enzyme levels. EFV and RPV bound more tightly to Y181F RT-T/P. Furthermore, inhibitor-bound Y181F RT-T/P was less efficient than the WT complex in incorporating the next correct dNTP, and this could be attributed to increased mobility of Y181F RT on the T/P substrate. Collectively, our data highlight the key role that Y181 in RT plays in NNRTI binding.

Minority variants associated with transmitted and acquired HIV-1 nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor resistance: implications for the use of second-generation nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors.

Project description:ObjectivesK103N, the most common nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)-resistant mutation in patients with transmitted resistance and in patients receiving a failing NNRTI-containing regimen, is fully susceptible to the new NNRTI, etravirine. Therefore, we sought to determine how often NNRTI-resistant mutations other than K103N occur as minority variants in plasma samples for which standard genotypic resistance testing detects K103N alone.MethodsWe performed ultradeep pyrosequencing (UDPS; 454 Life Sciences a Roche Company, Branford, CT) of plasma virus samples from 13 treatment-naive and 20 NNRTI-experienced patients in whom standard genotypic resistance testing revealed K103N but no other major NNRTI-resistance mutations.ResultsSamples from 0 of 13 treatment-naive patients vs. 7 of 20 patients failing an NNRTI-containing regimen had minority variants with major etravirine-associated NNRTI-resistant mutations (P = 0.03, Fisher exact test): Y181C (7.0%), Y181C (3.6%) + G190A (3.2%), L100I (14%), L100I (32%) + 190A (5.4%), K101E (3.8%) + G190A (4.9%), K101E (4.0%) + G190S (4.8%), and G190S (3.1%).ConclusionsIn treatment-naive patients, UDPS did not detect additional major NNRTI-resistant mutations suggesting that etravirine may be effective in patients with transmitted K103N. In NNRTI-experienced patients, UDPS often detected additional major NNRTI-resistant mutations suggesting that etravirine may not be fully active in patients with acquired K103N.

Low rates of nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor and nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor drug resistance in Botswana.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Scale-up of antiretroviral therapy (ART) and introduction of treat-all strategy necessitates population-level monitoring of acquired HIV drug resistance (ADR) and pretreatment drug resistance (PDR) mutations. METHODS:Blood samples were collected from 4973 HIV-positive individuals residing in 30 communities across Botswana who participated in the Botswana Combination Prevention Project (BCPP) in 2013-2018. HIV sequences were obtained by long-range HIV genotyping. Major drug-resistance mutations (DRMs) and surveillance drug resistance mutations (SDRMs) associated with nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI) and nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI) were analyzed according to the Stanford University HIV Drug Resistance Database. Viral sequences were screened for G-to-A hypermutations. A threshold of 2% was used for hypermutation adjustment. Viral suppression was considered at HIV-1 RNA load ?400?copies/ml. RESULTS:Among 4973 participants with HIV-1C sequences, ART data were available for 4927 (99%) including 3858 (78%) on ART. Among those on ART, 3435 had viral load data and 3297 (96%) were virologically suppressed. Among 1069 (22%) HIV-infected individuals not on ART, we found NRTI-associated and NNRTI-associated SDRMs were found in 1.5% (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.0-2.5%) and 2.9% (95% CI 2.0-4.2%), respectively. Of the 138 (4%) of individuals who had detectable HIV-1 RNA, we found NRTI-associated and NNRTI-associated drug resistance mutations in 16% (95% CI 10-25%) and 33% (95% CI 25-42%), respectively. CONCLUSION:We found a low prevalence of NRTI-associated and NNRTI-associated PDR-resistance mutations among residents of rural and peri-urban communities across Botswana. However, individuals on ART with detectable virus had ADR NRTI and NNRTI mutations above 15%.

Impact of the N348I mutation in HIV-1 reverse transcriptase on nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor resistance in non-subtype B HIV-1.

Project description:We investigated the effect of N348I alone and with M184V on nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) drug susceptibility and replicative capacity in B and non-B HIV-1 isolates. N348I reduced the susceptibility to all NNRTI drugs across subtypes. The replication capacity of all viruses in a variety of cell lines was impaired by N348I. Interestingly, the N348I and M184V double mutation compensated for the reduced NNRTI drug susceptibility observed in the N348I single mutant and marginally improved viral replicative capacity.

The emerging profile of cross-resistance among the nonnucleoside HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors.

Project description:Nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) are widely used to treat HIV-1-infected individuals; indeed most first-line antiretroviral therapies typically include one NNRTI in combination with two nucleoside analogs. In 2008, the next-generation NNRTI etravirine was approved for the treatment of HIV-infected antiretroviral therapy-experienced individuals, including those with prior NNRTI exposure. NNRTIs are also increasingly being included in strategies to prevent HIV-1 infection. For example: (1) nevirapine is used to prevent mother-to-child transmission; (2) the ASPIRE (MTN 020) study will test whether a vaginal ring containing dapivirine can prevent HIV-1 infection in women; (3) a microbicide gel formulation containing the urea-PETT derivative MIV-150 is in a phase I study to evaluate safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and acceptability; and (4) a long acting rilpivirine formulation is under-development for pre-exposure prophylaxis. Given their widespread use, particularly in resource-limited settings, as well as their low genetic barriers to resistance, there are concerns about overlapping resistance between the different NNRTIs. Consequently, a better understanding of the resistance and cross-resistance profiles among the NNRTI class is important for predicting response to treatment, and surveillance of transmitted drug-resistance.

High nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor resistance levels in HIV-1-infected Zambian mother-infant pairs.

Project description:Objective(s)To elucidate relationships in antiretroviral resistance between HIV-1-infected mother-infant pairs by defining the resistance profiles in the mothers and infants and quantifying drug resistance prevalence in the pairs post-Option B+ implementation.DesignCollection of dried blood spots from mother-infant pairs during routine HIV-1 screens in Lusaka, Zambia from 2015 to 2018.MethodsDNA was extracted from the dried blood spots, the HIV-1 pol region was amplified, and the purified proviral DNA was sequenced using Sanger sequencing. Drug resistance mutations (DRM) were identified in sequenced DNA using the Stanford HIVdb (https://hivdb.stanford.edu/).ResultsDRM were detected in 45% (44/97) of samples, and these samples were found to harbor resistance to at least two antiretrovirals. The prevalence of nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor resistance was significantly higher than that of other antiretroviral classes. DRM were detected disproportionately in infants (67%; 33/49) compared with mothers (23%; 11/48), but the magnitude of resistance did not differ when resistance was detected. The disparity in drug resistance profiles was reinforced in pairwise comparison of resistance profiles in mother-infant pairs.ConclusionWhile Option B+ is effective in reducing mother-to-child transmission, in cases where this regimen fails, high-level nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor resistance is frequently detected in infants. This underscores the importance of pretreatment drug resistance screening in both mothers and infants and emphasizes the necessary change to protease inhibitor-based and integrase inhibitor-based regimens for treatment of HIV-1-infected infants and mothers.

Potent nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors target HIV-1 Gag-Pol.

Project description:Nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) target HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) by binding to a pocket in RT that is close to, but distinct, from the DNA polymerase active site and prevent the synthesis of viral cDNA. NNRTIs, in particular, those that are potent inhibitors of RT polymerase activity, can also act as chemical enhancers of the enzyme's inter-subunit interactions. However, the consequences of this chemical enhancement effect on HIV-1 replication are not understood. Here, we show that the potent NNRTIs efavirenz, TMC120, and TMC125, but not nevirapine or delavirdine, inhibit the late stages of HIV-1 replication. These potent NNRTIs enhanced the intracellular processing of Gag and Gag-Pol polyproteins, and this was associated with a decrease in viral particle production from HIV-1-transfected cells. The increased polyprotein processing is consistent with premature activation of the HIV-1 protease by NNRTI-enhanced Gag-Pol multimerization through the embedded RT sequence. These findings support the view that Gag-Pol multimerization is an important step in viral assembly and demonstrate that regulation of Gag-Pol/Gag-Pol interactions is a novel target for small molecule inhibitors of HIV-1 production. Furthermore, these drugs can serve as useful probes to further understand processes involved in HIV-1 particle assembly and maturation.

Fluoride Pharmacokinetics in Urine and Plasma Following Multiple Doses of MK-8507, an Investigational, Oral, Once-Weekly Nonnucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor.

Project description:MK-8507 is an investigational HIV-1 nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor being developed for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. MK-8507 contains 2 trifluoromethyl groups that may result in fluoride release through metabolism, but the extent of MK-8507-related fluoride release in humans has yet to be determined. This double-blind, placebo-controlled, 2-period, parallel-group, multiple-dose trial in healthy participants without HIV-1 who were administered a fluoride-restricted diet and once-weekly doses of MK-8507 aimed to estimate the relationship between MK-8507 dose and fluoride exposure. A total of 15 adult male and 3 adult female (of non-childbearing potential) participants were randomized to receive MK-8507 200 mg (n = 6), MK-8507 800 mg (n = 6), or placebo (n = 6). Change from baseline in mean daily fluoride excretion averaged over 7 days following the administration of MK-8507 200 mg resulted in a net mean increase of 19.8 μmol (90% confidence interval, 12.2-27.4) relative to placebo and did not exceed 57 μmol, a threshold related to the mean difference between the daily reference dose set by the US Environmental Protection Agency and the average dietary fluoride intake in the United States. However, daily urinary fluoride excretion exceeded the threshold following administration of 800 mg MK-8507 (75.1 μmol [90% confidence interval, 67.5-82.7]). Assuming a linear relationship between MK-8507 dose and estimated mean daily fluoride released at steady-state, data interpolation suggests that the US Environmental Protection Agency reference dose for fluoride would not be exceeded in most patients when administering MK-8507 at doses currently under clinical investigation (≤400 mg once weekly).
