[1-[2',5'-Bis-O-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-beta-D-ribofuranosyl]-3-N- methyl-thymine]-3'-spiro-5''-(4''-amino-1'',2''-oxathiole-2'',2''- dioxide) (TSAO-m3T) is a potent, selective and specific inhibitor of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 replication in vitro. Uptake of TSAO-m3T by human CEM cells is drug concentration-dependent and increased proportionally with increasing initial extracellular TSAO-m3T concentrations up to 20 micrograms/mL. Within 6 hr of incubation, the cells were almost completely saturated with the test compound; further incubation up to 72 hr did not markedly increase the intracellular concentration of the compound. No intracellular metabolic conversion of TSAO-m3T was observed in CEM, MT-4 or MOLT-4 cells. Upon intravenous bolus administration of TSAO-m3T to mice at 0.75 mg/kg, TSAO-m3T was rapidly cleared from the plasma in a mono-exponential manner (half-life: 22 min; distribution volume: 9.5 L/kg; total body clearance: 17.8 L/hr/kg). TSAO-m3T mainly accumulated in the lungs, followed by the heart, kidney and liver. Significant amounts of different metabolites of TSAO-m3T were detected in most tissues, the liver, kidney and spleen being the organs that showed the most extensive metabolism. The principal metabolites identified were TSAO-m3T derivatives in which the t-butyldimethylsilyl moiety at C-2' and/or C-5' had been split off. The free base N3-methylthymine was not detected.

The structures of two novel 3'-spiro nucleosides analogues of the potent human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) reverse trancriptase (RT) inhibitor TSAO-m3T, in solution, as derived from NMR spectroscopy are described. In these TSAO analogues the spiro amino oxathioledioxide moiety has been replaced by spiro amino oxazolone or spiro amino oxathiazoledioxide moieties. A comparative study based on theoretical calculations of the hydrophobicity, the solvation free energies and molecular electrostatic potentials (MEP) of the three compounds is also described.

A human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-seropositive patient was treated sequentially with the dideoxynucleoside (ddN) analogues zidovudine, didanosine, zalcitabine, stavudine, and lamivudine and the nonnucleoside HIV-1-specific reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) loviride (alpha-APA). Accumulation of drug resistance mutations (mainly V75I, F77L, K103N, F116Y, Q151M, and M184V) eventually resulted in a strain that was genotypically and phenotypically resistant to all tested ddNs and the majority of NNRTIs. However, the multidrug-resistant virus retained wild type sensitivities to drugs such as foscarnet, phosphonomethoxyethyl adenine, dextran sulfate, JM3100, saquinavir, and NNRTI TSAO-m3T.

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-infected CEM cells were treated (as single agents or in combination) with (minus)-2', 3'-dideoxy-3'-thiacytidine (3TC) and the following HIV-1-specific non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitors (NNRTIs): 2', 5'-bis-O-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-3'-spiro-5'-(4'-amino-1',2'-oxathi ole)-2',2'-dioxide derivative of 3-methylthymidine (TSAO-m3T), the thiocarboxanilides UC10 and UC42, bis(heteroaryl)piperazine (BHAP) derivative U90152, and the 1-(2-hydroxyethoxymethyl)-6-(phenylthio)thymine (HEPT) derivative 5-isopropyl-1-ethoxymethyl-6-benzyluracil (MKC-442). When used individually, the compounds led to the emergence of HIV-1 strains containing the following mutations in the RT: Glu138 to lysine for TSAO-m3T, Met184 to valine for 3TC, Lys103 to threonine/asparagine for the thiocarboxanilides, and Tyr181 to cysteine for BHAP and MKC-442. When 3TC was combined with TSAO-m3T, UC10, UC42, BHAP, or MKC-442, breakthrough of virus was markedly delayed or even suppressed.

To develop an animal model for the therapy of AIDS with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-specific reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitors, we recently constructed a hybrid simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)/HIV-1 in which the RT gene of SIV was replaced by the RT gene of HIV-1. This chimaeric virus, designated RT-SHIV, was found to be markedly sensitive to the inhibitory effects of both nucleoside (ddN) and non-nucleoside RT inhibitors (NNRTIs). In contrast, SIV was inhibited only by ddNs (i.

Five structurally related thiophene and furane analogues of the oxathiin carboxanilide derivative NSC 615985 (UC84) (designated UC10, UC68, UC81, UC42, and UC16) were identified as potent inhibitors of HIV-1 replication in cell culture and HIV-1 reverse transcriptase activity. These compounds were markedly active against a series of mutant HIV-1 strains, containing the Leu-100-->Ile, Val-106-->Ala, Glu-138-->Lys, or Tyr-181-->Cys mutations in their reverse transcriptase. However, the thiocarboxanilide derivatives selected for mutations at amino acid positions 100 (Leu-->Ile), 101 (Lys-->Ile/Glu), 103 (Lys-->Thr/Asp) and 141 (Gly-->Glu) in the HIV-1 reverse transcriptase.
