[VIRTUAL] IN VITRO MODEL TO ASSESS ANTIRETROVIRAL THERAPY ON ADIPOCYTE BIOLOGY () - Mar 18, 2021 - Abstract #CROI2021CROI_724; The observed decrease in leptin, a major satiety hormone, in the STAY group may help explain the increased weight gain observed in individuals taking InSTIs. This model can help define mechanisms by which ART causes adverse metabolic effects and used in pre-clinical applications to test potential, unintended adipocyte-specific effects of future ART.
- |||||||||| [VIRTUAL] EFFECTIVENESS OF RECOMMENDED 3-DRUG REGIMENS FOR TREATING ADVANCED HIV INFECTION () - Mar 18, 2021 - Abstract #CROI2021CROI_615;
The effectiveness of one of the newest 3-drug regimen (3DR), bictegravir/ emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (B/F/TAF), was therefore compared to other 3DRs that included boosted darunavir (bDRV), dolutegravir (DTG) or elvitegravir/cobicistat (EVG/c) among ART-naïve PLWH with CD4 count <200 cells/μL. Among PLWH with advanced HIV infection initiating ART, those on B/F/TAF appeared less likely to discontinue their regimen compared to other 3DRs (unadjusted) and were numerically more likely to achieve virologic suppression compared to bDRV but did not differ from those on DTG or EVG/cbased 3DR (adjusted).

[VIRTUAL] IMPACT OF ANTIRETROVIRAL REGIMENS ON MORTALITY IN PATIENTS WITH ADVANCED HIV DISEASE () - Mar 18, 2021 - Abstract #CROI2021CROI_614; The most frequently third-drug was darunavir (73%), efavirenz (70.9%) and dolutegravir (47%), respectively. In this large real-life cohort study, a lower mortality and a less rate of discontinuation in patients treated with InSTIs regimens were observed among naive patients with advance HIV disease.

These drugs have been approved for a different indication and belong to a diverse category such as anti-malarial/anti-parasitic, anti-retroviral/anti-viral, anti-cancer, or against rheumatoid arthritis. Although, the vaccine would be an ideal option for providing active immunity against the SARS-CoV-2, but considering the current situation, drug repurposing and convalescent plasma therapy and repurposed drugs are the most viable option against SARS-CoV-2.

Journal: Biochemical Characterization, Specificity and Inhibition Studies of HTLV-1, HTLV-2, and HTLV-3 Proteases.

Comparative biochemical analysis of HTLV-1, -2, and -3 PRs may help understand the characteristic similarities and differences between these enzymes in order to estimate the potential of the appearance of drug-resistance against specific HTLV-1 PR inhibitors.

- |||||||||| Clinical, Journal: Analysis of the efficacy of HIV protease inhibitors against SARS-CoV-2's main protease. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 15, 2020
Targeting of SARS-CoV-2 M by some of the HIV PIs might be of limited clinical potential, given the high concentration of the drugs required to achieve significant inhibition. Therefore, given their weak inhibition of the viral protease, any potential beneficial effect of the PIs in COVID-19 context might perhaps be attributed to acting on other molecular target(s), rather than SARS-CoV-2 M.
