Integrase Inhibitors Use for HIV Infection in Pregnancy
AbstractPurpose of ReviewThere are important unmet needs regarding HIV infection, particularly in vulnerable population, such as pregnant women and the safety and efficacy of antiretrovirals to them and their newborn. HIV integrase inhibitor agents are among the preferred antiretrovirals in most guidelines worldwide. The purpose of this review is to evaluate their safety and efficacy in that specific population.Recent FindingsAn increased importance it is being paid to this issue. However, only recently and just a few studies have been conducted trying to evaluate and compare these drugs with other agents such as efavirenz...

A Health Literate Patient-focused Approach to the Redesign of the Raltegravir (ISENTRESS) Pediatric Kit and Instructions for Use
Conclusions: This patient-focused process produced health literate instructions for preparing and administering an antiretroviral for neonatal use with complex dosing requirements. Testing demonstrated that lay users with a range of health literacy levels were able to accurately mix, measure and administer the product. This process demonstrates how a neonatal medication can be optimized for use through collaboration between the infectious disease expert community and a manufacturer.

Immunologic Change over 72 Weeks following Raltegravir- vs Efavirenz-based Therapy in HIV/HCV co-infected Individuals in Vietnam
CONCLUSIONS: The initiation of ART in HIV/HCV co-infected individuals is associated with incomplete improvement in monocyte and T cell immune activation and exhaustion, which was associated with some corresponding improvement in liver fibrosis.PMID:34861767 | DOI:10.1089/AID.2021.0076 (Source: Cell Research)

Molecules, Vol. 26, Pages 7129: Identification of Influenza PAN Endonuclease Inhibitors via 3D-QSAR Modeling and Docking-Based Virtual Screening
ing Liu Chun Hu Structural and biochemical studies elucidate that PAN may contribute to the host protein shutdown observed during influenza A infection. Thus, inhibition of the endonuclease activity of viral RdRP is an attractive approach for novel antiviral therapy. In order to envisage structurally diverse novel compounds with better efficacy as PAN endonuclease inhibitors, a ligand-based-pharmacophore model was developed using 3D-QSAR pharmacophore generation (HypoGen algorithm) methodology in Discovery Studio. As the training set, 25 compounds were taken to generate a significant pharmacophore model. The selected...

Poorer Muscle Quality and Quantity With ART Initiation Is Associated With Greater Inflammation and Immune Activation
Background: We have previously shown that the initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) is associated with a decrease in skeletal muscle density (greater fat accumulation), suggesting that gains in lean body mass seen in many ART studies may reflect gains in low quality, fatty muscle. Here, we explore whether skeletal muscle density and area are associated with markers of inflammation and immune activation. Methods: ART-naïve people with HIV were randomized to raltegravir or ritonavir-boosted atazanavir or darunavir, each with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/emtricitabine. Abdominal computed tomography scans fro...

Molecules, Vol. 26, Pages 5672: π–π Noncovalent Interaction Involving 1,2,4- and 1,3,4-Oxadiazole Systems: The Combined Experimental, Theoretical, and Database Study
dim Boyarskiy A series of N-pyridyl ureas bearing 1,2,4- (1a, 2a, and 3a) and 1,3,4-oxadiazole moiety (1b, 2b, 3b) was prepared and characterized by HRMS, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, as well as X-ray diffraction. The inspection of the crystal structures of (1–3)a,b and the Hirshfeld surface analysis made possible the recognition of the (oxadiazole)···(pyridine) and (oxadiazole)···(oxadiazole) interactions. The presence of these interactions was confirmed theoretically by DFT calculations, including NCI analysis for experimentally determined crystal structures as well as QTAIM analysis for optimized equilibrium...
