In Vitro Resistance to the Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Maturation Inhibitor PA-457 (Bevirimat)
27 Oct 2006
Abstract excerpt
3-O-(3',3'-dimethylsuccinyl)betulinic acid (PA-457 or bevirimat) potently inhibits human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) maturation by blocking a late step in the Gag processing pathway, specifically the cleavage of SP1 from the C terminus of capsid (CA). To gain insights into the mechanism(s) by which HIV-1 could evolve resistance to PA-457 and to evaluate the likelihood of such resistance arising in...
