Development of Resistance to 4’-Ethynyl-2-Fluoro-2’-Deoxyadenosine (EFdA) by WT and Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor Resistant Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1
2020-09-04
Abstract excerpt
4’-ethynyl-2-fluoro-2’-deoxyadenosine (EFdA, MK-8591, islatravir) is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase translocation inhibitor (NRTTI) with exceptional potency against WT and drug-resistant HIV strains. However, HIV resistance to EFdA is not well characterized. We therefore developed resistance to EFdA by serial passages using progressively increasing concentrations of EFdA. The starting virus was either WT or cl...
